Needs a lot of work.  Keep working at it.

Ok have done a lot more to My VA skin and site. I think it has a much cleaner look now. also I did the last update and that helped alot

It is starting to take shape and looks much better now. However, If you don’t mind a suggestion.

Logout and then click on the Pilot Center link. There is a link or two in there that you might wish to only show if logged in.

5

Ok I moved the pilot center Links to a must be logged in status. I agree it needed to be done that way Thanks for the suggestion. Let me know what else I can do. It has bee many years since I skinned or coded for PHP. ;D

I Know this has been handled in another thread but  How do you get 2 siedbars(left and right) and a center column such as European Gateway has. I find I am having to scroll down my page to look at all the info.

EuGate way has their page setup like I want mine  ;Dhttp://www.europeangateway.info/

Can any one help

Thanks

I would recommend using a table.. simply because it is easy..

Please.. for the sake of your own sanity don’t do it like i did. It was a pain to get sorted.

But, good luck

Tables work well but if you wanted to just use css you could do something like this for the columns on a 980px wide page ->

.main-left {
display:inline /*Fix IE floating margin bug*/;
float:left; 
          width:180px;
overflow:visible !important /*Firefox*/;
overflow:hidden /*IE6*/;
}

.main-center {
display:inline; /*Fix IE floating margin bug*/;
float:left;
width:590px;
margin:0 0 0 10px;
overflow:visible !important /*Firefox*/;
overflow:hidden /*IE6*/;
}

.main-right {
display:inline /*Fix IE floating margin bug*/;
float:right;
width:180px;
margin:0 10px 0 0;
overflow:visible !important /*Firefox*/;
overflow:hidden /*IE6*/;
}

And then your page would layout like ->

<div class="main-left">
  left column content
</div>

<div class="main-center">
  center content
</div>

<div class="main-right">
right column content
</div>

The alignment is a bit off though, and the borders don’t look right to me.. but that’s personal preference

hey How do we get the Pilot Awards images to show up on the profile? I have awards and have put in their image URL in the admin panel but no awards image show up.

13

if you type awards in the search you will find the awnser ;D

14

Got it  ;D

the code was there Just had to move it under this line to display

<li><?php echo $award->name ?></li>

Like this:

<li><?php echo $award->name ?></li>
				  <img src="<?php echo $award->image?>" alt="<?php echo $award->descrip?>" />

Thanks everyone for help with all my questions. I now have my site looking the way I like it. :
