Global Headers and Footers

[moon22]

Its not under configuration. I don't think its installing right, even though it says it installed succesfully. 

I have the same problem...

Did you install it whilst in the default theme?

No, I install it while using the AA New Damage theme...

Can somebody help us with this problem... pls...

I have the same problem...


I have this problem too? I don't see any thing different under configuration, is there a reason it would not show up? I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the mod and still nothing it was installed on the default theme nothing fancy, can anyone help me please?

I found a great use for this Mod (nice job by the way!)....  You can use it to create inline CSS navigation buttons for any new actions or pages or whatever other link you may need.

Here is a test/demo code for the Inline CSS buttons:

Put this at the beginning of your themes style.css file.

/* Inline CSS Button Code */
.inline-button {
   width:12em;
   font: bold 65%/1 Verdana, sans-serif;
   margin: 0 0.2em; padding: 0.1em 0;
   border: 1px solid black;
   white-space:nowrap;
   text-decoration: none;
   vertical-align:middle;
   background: #ccc;
   color: black;
   }
.inline-button em {
   width:1em;
   font-style: normal;
   margin:0; padding: 0.1em 0.5em;
   background: white;
   color: black;
   }
.inline-button span {
   width:1em;
   margin:0; padding: 0.1em 0.5em 0.1em 0.3em;
   }
.inline-button:hover {
   background: #666;
   color: white;
   }
.inline-button:hover em {
   background: black;
   color: white;
   }
   
.orange span { background: orange; color: black }
.orange em { background: white; color: #c60 }

.blue span { background: #06c; color: white }
.blue em { background: white; color: #06c }

.green span { background: green; color: white }
.green em { background: white; color: green }


Put this in the Global Header.

Code Select Expand


<a class="inline-button orange" href="index.php?action=profile"><em>Your</em><span> Profile</span></a>
<a class="inline-button blue" href="index.php?action=calendar"><em>Open</em><span> Calendar</span></a>
<a class="inline-button green" href="index.php?action=search"><em>Forum</em><span> Search</span></a>

You should be able to fairly closely match your theme colors.

To the Global Headers/Footers Developer..... just a suggestion....

I had been having problems with the Header part of the Global Headers.  I am using it for some other link buttons for new actions I have created.  Anyway, the line of link buttons would be a problem whenever I was in the Profile and Admin sections.  Your code is not bound or is willing to stay in place.  I now know the issue is with where you have put the code in the Subs.php.  The issue is it should not be there, but instead, be in the index.template.php file immediately under template_menu......   This way the site/theme etc. is not broken up.  Also, of course put the global call to boarddir there.

.....  at least it is working very well for me this way.

...again..... just a recommendation.

If i move the code to index.template.php then it just affects one template. Purpose of this mod is to affect all templates without editing them.

[folkandfaith]

I am on 1.1.2 and it gives me this error when going to the link that says Global Header and Footer:

Fatal error: smf_main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/ggallin/public_html/smf_forums/Sources/globalhf.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ggallin/public_html/smf_forums/index.php on line 349

[folkandfaith]

Is there some file or such that I need to alter to make this work right then? This "Line 349" do I do something to fix this?

[folkandfaith]

Tried un-installing it, deleting it, and then going back and downloading it and uploading it only to get the same "line 349" error. Any way to fix this to make it work?

[icwater]

was wondering if someone could help me here

Global Headers and Footers has put my header below where i want it as you can see in the pic i would like to delete the section crossed out in red and move my header in it's place, i thought this is what Global Headers and Footers does but it seems i either messed up or i need to modify it, any ideas?

[folkandfaith]

I think that the problem with many of these mods is that the creator of them has already done us a service by making them, and then never is able to get back often enough to check on their creation to see if it is still alive and kicking... More often then not some issue arises due to whatever, and then no one can figure out how to fix it and its creator hasn't the time to stop back in and help others wishing to use their creation  This seems to be the case with this mod as well as others...

[KGIII]

was wondering if someone could help me here

Instead of using the mod just edit the index.template.php file for that. You would just add the code (from the looks of things in your picture) after the <body>'; code. You can probably get away with it pretty easily - I suspect it will be the very first "echo" after that where you could just put your code.

vbgamer is currently on hiatus but I am reasonably certain they'll return as rapidly as they can.

[oldskool]

there is a common problem with this , it installs , but is nowhere to be seen ?

[folkandfaith]

The creator is on hiatus... So apparently a "global header" is not possible until he comes back around. Sucks hu ...

[folkandfaith]

[SaltedWeb]

Clean install smf, the headers fooeter mod doesnt show up on admin menu.
No mods or anything yet it wont show up.
