Index.template.php question

[PopLife]

This is really a more PHP related question.

Code Select Expand



templateMenu()



How can I center this without bringing up a parse error?

[Jerry]

you could try...

Code Select Expand

echo '<div align="center">';
templateMenu();
echo '</div>';

[PopLife]

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: templatemenu() in /usr/export/www/hosting/luba/Sources/Load.php(1040) : eval()'d code on line 98

my mistake, it is "template_menu()"

I just tried that and the above error message is what I had returned

[PopLife]

bump

still no one can help?

[xenovanis]

Well, if it is template_menu() how comes your errormessage returnes a templatemenu()?

Bumping after an hour?

Bumping after an hour? 

Some peeps are just plain clumsy ....

[Jerry]

yes, just replace the templateMenu() with the correct template_menu() I was sleepy when I did that, sorry I didn't catch it

[PopLife]

*sigh* I am still looking for an answer to my original question. I am not completly retarded, I know how to change back to template_menu(). All I wanted to know is how I can center the forum menu without receiving a parse error. Thankyou for trying to help anyway guys 

[Jerry]

well as far as I can see the code I gave you shouldn't be giving you a parse error . What code do you have there now? if you change it back to template_menu(); it should work. . .

[PopLife]

Ok, right now, the menu is working just fine, I have the right name there, OK? But, i want it centered. I tried your code and it didn't seem to be working. I just put a- border: 1px solid navy;
in the style.css file, and now the style.css won't come up in admin when I get into the template menu (the page comes up, but the menu has been widened to full screen and the typing field has disappeared). Now what can I do???

[forsakenlad]

Roll back all your changes and replace the menu code with this:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" valign="middle" height="35">
<tr>
<td>', template_menu(), '</td>
</tr>
</table>';

[PopLife]

I don't want to lose all of my changes. I have already done quite a bit.

Are this done on a copy of the default theme..or on another custom theme?

It would be great if you could just post the code you have a bit before and after the place where template_menu is called, too see how you current setup looks like.

Most times, in order to center things you need a "container" in form of a 100% "table" or "div" with "align=center", and then put your desired element inside another "div" or "table". Only this time aligning it left/right. This is to prevent the second "div" from inheriting the alignment, making everything centered inside that one too.
