To integrate 160x600 banner

How to integrate 160x600 banner in left side?

The way is to place it beyond the body... But it looks not nice.

How to integrate IN the body of site in left side?

Mayde there are some payed mods for this...

I am also trying to do this with a 100x750. What is the Dolphin default actual size? Instructions from BooonexNerd:

If you need to put in a larger logo, you need to update the CSS files. You can update the CSS file via the admin panel or you can update it from your computer (if you have a local copy) and then ftp it over to the server.

I opted to update it locally. But if you want to update it via the admin panel, just go to Settings > CSS Style Editor and choose the file you want to edit in the drop down menu. You may get a message that says, "Editing file general.css: File general.css is not writable". This means you need to set the permissions on the css file. You can find out how to do that here [insert link].

They are:
general.css located in templates/tmpl_uni/css/general.css
uni.css for orca located in orca/layout/uni/css/uni.css

You need to change the "topBlock" tag. Here is the sample below:

.topBlock
{
position:relative;
/*height:73px;/
height:100px;
border:0px dashed blue;
margin-bottom:0px;
}

What I did was comment out the original height of 73px. I then copied and pasted the value to have a height of 100px.

But this does not work. I am getting the message: File general.css is not writeable. The problem here is that I am the owner and the file is set to -rw-r--r--, so I should be able to modify. I changed it to -rw-rw-r-- just in case and I still can't edit.

I found a few other instances of general.css and also changed these to -rw-rw-r-- but that did not help.

Does someone know how to do this?

Admin/Tools/Banners

or

add a new column and add a new html block with your banner code inside,

then you can also choose who web page who should have the banner

Redacted - redundant.  I shouldn't post first thing in the morning.

You can also just make a new column of those dimensions on whatever page you want - for example the profile page, and then add an html block and put your ad code there - assuming it is an html ad or run through an ad server.

Thanks for the responses. I really don't want to create another area when the area I need is already there. This is not a "banner", but a real "logo". I am creating an alumni social site, not a dating service so there will never be banners.

What I discovered is a bug - at least to me. The general.css file is owned by me and a permission of -rw-r--r-- should allow owner to modify. The admin panel says no and that is arguably a bug. I downloaded the general.css file, changed the height to 150px and the uploaded it. Then went in to Admin -> Basic Settings and uploaded the image. All is well and it works great. But, again, there is a bug in the admin panel if I can do what I say I just did!

Again, thanks for the help/suggestions.

No it's not. Even though you are the owner, those permissions only apply if your logged in via ssh and editing the file directly on the server.

To do it from the admin panel, the CSS file must allow the webserver to access, so the permissions need to be set to allow others to access it. I know it sounds like a bug, but it not. The webserver does not run as you for security reasons.

So. Because it not a good idea to do that with the permissions, it's best to edit CSS files the way the rest of us do it.

Keep a local copy on your own computer, make the changes, upload to the server via FTP.

Ah, now I understand. It's been a while since I did anything in Unix/Linux and forgot this golden rule. Thanks for saving me some bandwidth!
