Removing the header

Brolly · March 12th, 2005, 10:12 PM

I'm attempting to remove the standard photopost header and replace it completely with my own. Where exactly can I find it? I'm not having any luck anywhere.

Thanks for any help.

Hi..

in your PP admin find > Full path to Header Include file
replace the current value with the file name of your own header file, for example myheader.htm, upload your new header to your main photopost directory and thats it.

I've already tried that, I end up getting two headers, the photopost header, and my own header placed exactly after it

I cant see the double header now, did you remove it?

I dont get two headers either

I also must point out once you start uploading photos and such you will not be able to constrain Photopost to stay within a 475 pixel width table.

You'll have to allow very small image sizes and such. Even on the index page once you start getting last photo uploaded and comments links gonna be very hard to keep things in that tiny of an output window

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

That's the source that's being given out. The page is actually meant to have a black background, but the original photopost header's overwriting the one I'm intending to use, producing a white background.

I do realise the 475 width is pretty restricting, but I don't mind all that much. The images I intend to show are literally always going to be opened in another window.

Simply change the body background color in your photopost style to black from the white

Photopost is writing the header fine the issue is your stylesheet body call is set to white so it will overwrite the hard coded one.

That's the problem, I don't want to change the photopost header, I'd like to remove it entirely. Is it actually possible? I've never been able to find it in any file.

Hi..

There is no reason why photopost should retain the header when set to a blank within the 'global options' of photopost admin, i would also say that your existing header has a table with the background colour set to white which would produce the effect i'm seeing now.

also your stylesheet should contain :

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

quite obviously, maybe you could insert this css element within your header to, either way it is possible to remove the header from within photopost.

I think you misread, it's the text that's set to white, not the background.

I've tried removing headers, and headtags from the global options, it still retains to original photopost header. ie.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

That's all I need to remove, and that's the header that's being generated by photopost itself, not anything I've added in myself. I can only assume it's generated by a template, or a physical file itself. I've just been unable to find it so I can remove it.

Sorry if I appear awkward, I very much appreciate both of your patience on this.

I've found it, line 319 pp-inc.php. I just removed the contents of the $header variable. So it's literally printing nothing, therefore not overwriting the header I want to actually use.

Sorry for winding you both up so much, you both helped more than you know.

Brolly, always a pleasure never a chore as the saying goes, glad it's working for you, i'm sure there was an easier route, but still you achieved the desired result. cool
