How can I add a graphic to top of left column?

Hi folk,

I can't seem to find the right file for this.

I want to add a graphic to the top of the left column, above all sideboxes, on all pages. I presume I'll need to over-ride something, but can't find the right file to modify.

As usual, any hints gratefully accepted.

Try this one:

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

Look for "<div id="navColumnOneWrapper">".

Hope that helps!

Well one would think so, wouldn't one?!? But...

When I put an image tag in there, above anything else in that div, it didn't show up. So I asked. Then, when you said I should be able to do it there, I tried again. Still no go. So I put a bit of text right after the image tag, saying Image Here!, and the text shows up but not the image!

I know the image file is there, in the common/images folder.

It's time for bed here in the wilds of Atlantic Canada, but if you'd like to have a look it's here.

(Ignore the pink; it's just there to show me where everything is while I try to push it around where I want it.)

Hi me,

I hate to keep talking to myself, but someone else may wonder how to do this. I didn't succeed by editing a core file, as suggested above. Instead I went into admin and turned on a sidebox banner, set it up as I needed, and uploaded the graphic I wanted into the place the banner would look for it. Then, using a suggestion from Kim in a thread from last March, I substituted a bit of code to eliminate the header over the sidebox.

The net result of all this was to put a logo at the top of the left column, as I needed. (In case you were wondering, the logo is a vertical format, and so wouldn't fit where it usually goes in the default Zen template.)

Now on to the next issue.

:thumbsup: Good job of thinking outside the box to put something in the right er, left box.
