So i've been editing and re-editing the template in the ACP for the better part of the last hour to no avail. No matter what i put or where I put it, it simply does not show up on the forum itself.<br /><br />I'm at a loss as to what to do now.<br /><br />If anyone has any suggestions, or has experience similar problems in the past, it would be much appreciated.<!--content-->

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome (-:<br /><br />All the edits are there when i change them then go back to have a look, but they're not doing anything to the site S:<br /><br />I even tried deleting the link to the Admin CP and it didn't move.<br /><br />I'll see if I can find the files i'm editing adn edit them manually, though I'm not too familiar with the ipb directory structure. Always worked with phpBB up until now.<!--content-->
Did some digging through the directory structure and finally found the skin_global.php file and it worked like a charm (-:<br /><br />My next question, i want to add a custom script in there that counts down the number of members in a particular group.<br /><br />Here's my code:<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->echo "<center>";<br /><br />mysql_connect("***", "***", "***");<br />mysql_select_db("***");<br /><br />$getr = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM *** WHERE mgroup=11");<br />$numrows = mysql_num_rows($getr);<br />$licleft = 30 - $numrows;<br /><br />if($numrows < 30) {<br />echo "<font color=\"green\" class=\"btext\">There are <font color=\"red\"><b>$licleft</b></font> licenses left before official launch</font></center>";<br />}<br />if($numrows == 0) {<br />echo "<b><font class=\"btext\" color=\"0059AC\">EzyDrop has now launched! Please see below for more details on new license packages and prices.</font></b><br><br>";<br />}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />The code works and does precisely what i need, what i'm not really sure on is where to stick it so that it will display where i want it (centred beneath the member_bar).<br /><br />How would I go about it, even if it's a RTFM, or a point in the right direction to said manual that would be much appreciated.<!--content-->
Check the skins_boards.php file. I think that's the one you are looking for.<!--content-->
Not the one i was after, it was in /sources/classes/class_display.php<br /><br />Had to add in my code there, then i could get it in the board wrapper. My partner has now told me he doesn't want it *sigh*<!--content-->
