Hi, I love this CMS and plan to use it for at least two different web sites.
My problem is, I can't seem to put a header at the top of the page, and I can't get random images to appear in the 'extra' area.
I don't know php, and I don't know a lot about CSS. I have worked for the past week or so and changed most of the layout the way I want. I just want to do these two things (the header and the random images).
I have searched online and found scripts to no success.
Any help is appreciated!
To add a header you will need to edit /cms/inc/page.class.php to add a header div between #wrap and #content, then style the new div to suit. It might be tricky if you don't know php and CSS.
A simpler alternative is just to style the #menu div to place it above #content. Some CSS is still required but this option is more in keeping with the philosophy of keeping things simple. Position the #menu with position: absolute; and adjust the top margins of #content and #extra to suit.
For random images you will need to add some php to /cms/inc/extra.php and upload the images. It is not difficult but a bit too long to explain here.
Hi again, thanks for your quick reply! I forgot to ask - do I need a header.php file or is just adjusting the code sufficient?
In /cms/inc/page.class.php, after line 46 (between the #wrap and #content divs) create a new line:
require ('header.php')then, yes, create header.php with the html for your header - normally a #header div "box" no wider than 960px containing the content of the header. The CSS for the box might be, for example:
#header { display: block; width: 860px; height: 100px; margin: 0 auto; }You can give empty #header a temporary background colour to check that the box is where you want it.
Yay! After following your instructions and tweaking things a bit I finally got a header up and running! It looks fantastic! Thanks
again :D
Well done!
