adding a navigation area to header

[Elaine Griffin]

So strange. With this theme, I don't even see index.template.php.
Here is the craziness I had to come up with to get this to display properly.

Code Select Expand

<div id="header">
   
       <table width="1000" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
   <tr>
   <td><img src="http://ijustmetu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/i-just-met-u-header.png" width="320" height="200"/></td>
   <td>
  <table width="321" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
  <td><img src="http://ijustmetu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/i-just-met-u-top.png" width="321" height="16"/></td>
  </tr></table>
  <table width="321" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td><img src="http://ijustmetu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/i-just-met-u-left.png" width="22" height="93"/></td>

I SO appreciate your help! I need to move on from this project in the worst way!

Now, then... A theme without an index.template.php file is VERY usual.

Not impossible, though, coz it'll just mean that that theme is "borrowing" that file from the default theme's directory. (That's true of all files, with themes, as it 'appens).

So, you could add the code to the default theme's file and, if there really is no such file in the custom theme's directory, it should still work.

Let me go and have a play, with that code... (Gimme a while, coz I'm gonna be taking the "Trial and error" route, for the most part).

The funny thing is I'm using the default Curve theme. I was just modifying that (I know, bad).

[kat]

OK... Not sure if you can see this. If you can't, let me know and I'll open it up to guests.

(It's a bit wide, at the moment)

[Elaine Griffin]

Yep, I can see that. And that makes more sense to me - I was trying to put it inside of the login area!

[kat]

Well, now. Firstly, we have a mystery to solve. I can guarantee, 100%, that your default theme will have an index.template.php file.

If it didn't, your forum would croak.

I just moved it, a bit, so that it's right at the top, rather than under the search box.

What I did, was add your code immediately on a new line, after the </head> tag.

[Elaine Griffin]

Well, I found one in the core folder, but when I added the code, the header is not showing up.

[Elaine Griffin]

I take that back, I found it!!

[kat]

WooHoo!

That doesn't look bad, at all, that!

[Elaine Griffin]

I must have just overlooked it. You know how when you look at something for too long it's impossible to find?
I am good now. Just have to move some things around. Ugh, thank you so much! You have no idea how much sanity you have saved me! I can't wait to be done with this project!

[kat]

My pleasure, darlin'.

Yeah, I know exactly what that's like.

I'm no coder, by a LONG stretch. So, when I look at a lot of code, I almost go all dyslexic!
