Update:

What might just have been a curiosity now actually needs to be resolved. My stats tracker will not work with the default URLs, it needs the search engine friendly type. So, can anyone tell my why my images fail, and what I need to do to fix them?

Thanks.

Myself, like a couple other posts I have read, am not seeing my header.php.  I am not using a footer and am using the "Cool Way".  I have changed the include path from relative to absolute and confirmed the header works by hitting it directly.  The main portion of the forum shows up with out issue, just without my header.  I am almost positive I did everything correctly.  Any ideas as to what could cause this?  This is on my test site which is running 1.1Beta3.  I was thinking of going back to 1.0.5 which is what our production site uses.  Is this going to be a problem in 1.1?

If anyone's interested, I had a lot of problems. I could not get absolute or relative paths to work. If it worked on the index, it would not work deeper withing the forum. I could get it to work deeper, but then it would stop working on the index. Same problems if I moved the footer/header files to a higher directory. In the end I used the URLs instead, and it's all fine. I don't understand what caused the problem though. - Anyway, using URL fixes it.

I had problems with relative paths, too.  From a reply to me somewhere else I was told that the path you need to use is the relative path to the main includee file.  That is, if the file your putting your include() in is included by another php file, you must use the path relative to the calling file.

It looks like everything is relative to the main forum folder and the main index.php.  So I just make sure my paths are something like include 'themes/mytheme/includes/includethis.php'.  That works for me.

/*   This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme.  It
   contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
   the forum, namely with main_above and main_below.  It also contains the
   menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
   template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
   the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

   The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

   The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
   should contain anything that should be shown up there.

   The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
   It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

   The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
   in the $context['linktree'] variable.

   The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
   wants and or needs.

Is the output (source) exactly the same? no, then i think it might require look in the php source.

if yes it is, then might look at the w3c validation of your code. Opera and firefox handle code differently, firefox is very hard on the rules of w3c, and opera Giff's more slack.

some links to validators:

I feel a little confused. I have a site template, but when you break it up into a header.php and footer.php what parts other than the code, logo and such do you put in the header and what code goes into the footer?

Col

No part of the existing template goes inside the footer and header php files. Only place what you want to appear in the header and footer in those files. All I have in my header is my logo with a background, and a copyright notice in my footer. I guess that if you want forum elements in your header or footer, you would have to use the cool method, but I imagine SSI would work if you have employed the simple method.

Karrit

Oh no. I was referring to the HTML code in my site's template. Not the forum template itself.

Col

Hi,

I think I left in most of what could be removed according to the instructions posted by Unknown. I removed the up-shrink option, the key stats, and resized the newsbox. Anyway, these are the main bits of code I used. You will need to adjust them for your purposes.

In the main template I made the folling changes:

</head>
<body>';
   include('header.php');

   echo '


and...

   include('footer.php');
   echo '
   </body>
</html>';


In the style.css file code I added the following:

#hdr{
height:100px;
border-bottom:1px solid #CC66FF;
width:100%;
background-image: url(YOUR BACKGROUND IMAGE.jpg);
color: #333333;
margin:0;
}


#ftr {
width: auto;
padding: 10px 0 0 0;
height: 20px;
border: solid #cc66ff;
border-width: 1px 0 0 0;
background:#eeeeee;
color: #333333;
margin:0;
font-size: 10px;
}


If your BG image is in the same directory, you need only code:

background-image: url(IMAGE NAME.jpg);

I the created the files 'header.php' and 'footer.php'. I placed them in my top forum directory.

header.php:
<div id="hdr"><img src='http://www.YOURSITE.COM/forum/logo.gif' /></div>

I found that I had to use the URL for the logo image when I switched to search-friendly URLs. Otherwise, relative path would be fine.

footer.php:
<div id="ftr" align="center">Copyright © YOURSITE.COM YYYY-YYYY
</div>



Obviously, you include your own details where I've used UPPERCASE, and you will probably have to adjust the values in the CSS to match your site.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

i understand that i need to have the below code in the "template_main_above()" function

include('header.php');

and the below code in template_main_below() function

include('footer.php');


However, is there any way that i can have this two code right at the top. Example:



<?php
$COMMON_CONSTANT_PATH 
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/common/constant/constant.php";
include_once(
$COMMON_CONSTANT_PATH);

include(
'header.php');
include(
'footer.php');

.
.
.
.
.
.

?>




I got a different layout. Whereby my header and footer are nicely layout, but my forum only appear right below my footer instead of the actual between header and footer.

Can anyone help me ? Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Steph..

the forum is at http:// hxxp:www.weaecion.org/forum [nonactive]

thanks, does language support require I use the second method? I didnt remove the header info.

SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!

The person that started this post should be awarded some kind of award.  My site is finally starting to take shape now and startin to rock.

I do have a problem though, for the SSI pages i chmoded the SSSI.php file to 777 because i kept getting an error when using that code you wrote for the pages.  So after I ch modded it I'm getting a new set or errors which ill post now:


Warning: template_site_above(header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jeepxj86/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(1040) : eval()'d code on line 402

some stuffs go here.

Anyone have a clue about this... I can honestly say i'm just starting now to learn PHP and I would like to learn how to fix this, also if anybody has the time explain what happened.

Greatly appreciated!
Josh

P.S. For anybody thats about ready to start doing there site you can see how cool mine is  :-* hxxp:www.9212radio.com [nonactive]

Thank you so much for this guide. Its fantastic. There does seem to be a problem though. I followed the guide to the letter. I'm using smf 1.1rc2.

When I try to validate my site using http://validator.w3.org/

I get a bunch of errors.

See them here
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fvibez.co.uk%2Fforums%2Findex.php

My site is www.vibez.co.uk/forum/

here is my index.template.php

Can anyne help me sort out those errors please

menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user

Hi,

i understand that i need to have the below code in the "template_main_above()" function

include('header.php');

and the below code in template_main_below() function

include('footer.php');


However, is there any way that i can have this two code right at the top. Example:



<?php
$COMMON_CONSTANT_PATH 
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/common/constant/constant.php";
include_once(
$COMMON_CONSTANT_PATH);

include(
'header.php');
include(
'footer.php');

.
.
.
.
.
.

?>




I got a different layout. Whereby my header and footer are nicely layout, but my forum only appear right below my footer instead of the actual between header and footer.

Can anyone help me ? Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Steph..



Did you put the include('header') into the template_main_above? and include('footer.php') in template_main_below?

They NEED to be like that, becuase when template_main_above function ends, the forum bit starts. So in order to have a footer at the actual bottom, you need to put that AFTER main_above has ended: in main_below.

Thank you so much for this guide. Its fantastic. There does seem to be a problem though. I followed the guide to the letter. I'm using smf 1.1rc2.

When I try to validate my site using http://validator.w3.org/

I get a bunch of errors.

Normally you need to just go through one validation error at a time and sort it out...

But as far as I can see it seems you are including a header? with its own <doctype> and <html> tags. That will render a error in the validation, because SMF already outputs those in the template. So strip your template for these things, or change the included files so that only one set of these are rendered.

SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!

The person that started this post should be awarded some kind of award.  My site is finally starting to take shape now and startin to rock.

I do have a problem though, for the SSI pages i chmoded the SSSI.php file to 777 because i kept getting an error when using that code you wrote for the pages.  So after I ch modded it I'm getting a new set or errors which ill post now:

some stuffs go here.

Anyone have a clue about this... I can honestly say i'm just starting now to learn PHP and I would like to learn how to fix this, also if anybody has the time explain what happened.

Greatly appreciated!
Josh

P.S. For anybody thats about ready to start doing there site you can see how cool mine is  :-* http://www.9212radio.com

It would seem your included files can't be found or have some errors in them. Check the paths maybe?
