Topic: Placing a menu(which uses php) on top of the first header block.

I'm trying to place a menu from our website at the top of the punBB layout.
The menu uses php.

1) Where should i place the html & php code for the menu. (I thought about main.tpl , but tpl files don't get parsed by the php engine right?)

2) How do i move the entire forum down a bit so there will be room at the top to place the menu.

Thanks, that worked.
Now i only need to know how to move the entire forum down. Does anyone happen to know if this is possible?

So long as you put the menu above the forum content, the forum should move down by itself.

That didn't work. I tried the following in main.tpl:

<div id="punwrap" style="position:relative; top:20px;">

And it seemed to work.

I can't seem to find that particular css file(style_css.css). What's the path? (using 1.2.16)

He doesn't mean literally a file with the name style_cs.css. Replace style with the name of the style you're using. So Oxygen would be Oxygen_cs.css

Aha, thanks.

PS: Wouldn't that mean though that only Oxygen would be moved 20px down? Suppose a user chooses a different style in his/her, wouldn't the forum be at it's default position again in that style?
