Custom vBulletin Header For Gallery

LissaE · May 8th, 2010, 07:00 PM

I have created a custom header template in my vBulletin and want to use that in the gallery instead of the default, yet for the life of me I cannot find how to change it like I have for the footer

Example:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I'm pretty sure it used to have a similar place for the header but can't find it, or how to change it (in header-inc.php)

How do I make the change I need? TIA

If your using vb3 yes you would still use something like that defined in our header-inc.php file sure. You can look how we do it for the navbar in that file.

Thanx Chuck, but the line I need to put it in is not there, it used to be but now it's not and I don't know how to do it, I am using 7.01

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Thanx Chuck, I figured that would be it. Where do I put it in the file though, does it matter where? lol

You put the lines in bold under the line I already noted in my post which is in header-inc.php

I'm sorry Chuck, it doesn't work lol

The footer and navbar eval lines are in 2 different sections of the file...if I put it under the navbar one it blanks out the header, and if I put it under the footer one just makes no difference lol

Oh and I am using VB3.8.5

Here is the code in my header-inc.php:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

right the navbar line is only one place in that file place the two lines in bold I suggested where I suggested and you should be fine. I show you have not done so.

Thanx anyway but never mind, I don't have the patience to go round in circles again and will find an alternative lol

Right but the point here is have you created an actual vb template with the contents you want displayed for the gallery header called gallery_header.

This would be considered a modification and yes your free to post in the mod forums for solutions but this one should work fine in the vb 3 series. As long as the actual template exists in vb with whatever html you want to print it should be loaded.

Ok so I read this and am thinking....yep I created the template, I went into vb and double checked....it took a few minutes of looking at the template to realise I had called it header_gallery instead of gallery_header which is probably why it blanked out before LOL

I changed the template name around and tried adding the code again and yay it's now working lol

Thanx Chuck....I am on day one of stopping smoking and my brain is all addled at the moment LOL

I'm trying to do something similar...

I'd like to use the same style as my forum (VB4, PPPro 7.01), but with a different header, as I want my Photopost to be a different domain name.

My site is site1.com
My photopost will be site2.com but since it's in the same folder it will be also reachable with site1.com/site2

I want my Photopost to use the Style of site1.com, but with different header so that it shows the logo of site2.com.

What can I do?

Chuck S · May 22nd, 2010, 06:08 AM

Not sure if you can do that with vb4

I mean you cant use a different style even in vb3 only different header.

vb4 works completely different.

dbigras · May 24th, 2010, 01:53 AM

Well, it would be great to have the same option as VBGallery, to be able to change the logo of the header. Why isn't that possible in Photopost?

I could use the same style, but I would need to be able to change the logo.

Chuck S · May 24th, 2010, 08:18 AM

well just not how it works.

You can try in the header-inc.php file in Pro add this line in bold where noted and you need to create the actual vb template with the html you wish called gallery_header

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I cant say if it will work never tried it and no support for that.

dbigras · May 24th, 2010, 12:29 PM

That would be an idea! To be able to select ANOTHER VBulletin style!

But I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function register() on a non-object in /path/photopost/header-inc.php on line 106

My VB4 is in /path/forums

Chuck S · May 24th, 2010, 02:03 PM

Hmm how about this like I said none of this I have personally tried

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

dbigras · May 24th, 2010, 02:05 PM

I appreciate the time you take. It would be AMAZING that you allow in the Integration options of Photopost, to select which Style to use from Vbulletin. It would be AMAZING!

dbigras · May 24th, 2010, 02:13 PM

Nope, it doesn't work. I've created a parent style in VB that I named gallery_header and I've added that code, but the header is blank. But the rest is still using my main style. I made a modification to gallery_header to see if it was picking that style but not the header. But no, it's not picking the style.
