Edit Header in Classifieds

Addie · November 6th, 2008, 06:39 PM

Ok I have my classifieds intergrated with vBulletin3, so all my headers and footers are the same all accross. I was able to change the footer just for the classifieds by adding a new templage called footer2, and changing the "go fetch" code to footer2 in header-inc.php file. However, when I tried to do the same for my header by creating a new template header2 and changing the code on my header-inc.php file, nothing happened. What am I doing wrong? Help please?

Thank you
Addie

Chuck, thank you for replying, however, this is exactly what I did, and only the footer works. The header never changed and I have it pointing to my new template which I happened to also call header2. What could I be doing wrong?

Here my chunk of code where you can see in my header-inc.php file I have it pointing to my new template:

if ( VB2_INTEGRATION == "on" )
{
chdir($vbpath);
require("global.php");
ob_start();
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('headinclude')."\",0);");
$bodytag="<body>";
echo dovars($bodytag,0);
$vbheader="<head>";
$vbheader.=ob_get_contents();
$vbheader.="{ppheader}</head>";
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('header2')."\",0);"); $vbheader.=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('footer2')."\",0);");
$vbfooter=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
chdir($pppath);

OK, I was able to turn off integration from vB3 and then I can see my custom header, but this is NOT what I want. I want everything as far as style is concerned to be integrated from vB3, I only want to create a custom header for classifieds. Because when I turn off the integration, the site looks really strange and it does not match the rest of my sites. Any help, I'm running out of options here.

I did try that, and it still does not work. That's what I'm trying to convey here.

The code your posting is from vb2 part.

You need to turn back on the vb3 integration and just add the header2 line as noted in the file in that other thread and make a header2 template in vb and it works.

Ok, I'm really not getting this at all, and don't understand why it's not working for me. Here are the steps I have taken so far after your last post Chuck:

1. Turned on Vb3 integration
2. Added header2 in my VbAdmin area (Note, my header2 is completely different that Vb "header" so I know if and when it starts working.
3. changed my header-inc.php line# 297 to add this line:
eval('$header = "' . fetch_template('header2') . '";');

Here is a copy of the code from my header-inc.php:

if ( VB2_INTEGRATION == "on" )
{
chdir($vbpath);
require("global.php");
ob_start();
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('headinclude')."\",0);");
$bodytag="<body>";
echo dovars($bodytag,0);
$vbheader="<head>";
$vbheader.=ob_get_contents();
$vbheader.="{ppheader}</head>";
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
eval('$header = "' . fetch_template('header2') . '";'); $vbheader.=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('footer2')."\",0);");
$vbfooter=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
chdir($pppath);
}

What am I missing? It is still not reading my header2???

You keep editing the vb2 area as I stated in my last post.

You want to add the line I posted in that other thread where I noted its at line 86 right after we define the navbar template add the header2 line

OMG, I'm so dense! ...and I'm so sorry. I didn't realize the section was Vb2 eventhough you did mention it before...ugggh!

It was starring at me right there in the face, and I just kep doing a search for any line that matched what I was supposed to be replacing..never mind what I was doing, it's stupid.

Anyway, thank you so much for pointing it out over and over. I finally got it and it's working now. phew..
