help with Header, Headtag & Footer file paths

[taylorpiano]

I can't find any info on what these options mean within the admin category section. I'm trying to figure out how these options can benefit me when creating categories.

Header Include File Path*:
(leave blank to use admin setting)

Headtags Include File Path*:
(leave blank to use admin setting)

Footer Include File Path*:
(leave blank to use admin setting)

Thanks for your help

You can load alternate header footers instead of your global header or footer for any category but that means you need to create such a header or footer file and then place the proper full server path to those files including name where asked there.

That's one of my favourite features, I make good use of it.

yeah not a well used feature by most but some do take advantage of that

Thanks Chuck,

Does this mean I can place a graphic there? or even an ad?
I'm always up for learning something new

middx, can you pass along your link so I can get an idea of how it works or pm me if you wish

well what it means is you load an alternate header instead of the default global header. This is a feature of the application when not integrated with vbulletin.

You would need to actually create the actual header file so cat501.htm and load the full server path including filename in the space for header. That file you create if all you want your header for that category to be is some image you can make the contents of your header file an html img tag to some image sure.
