Top Banners-Wide Layout Questions

[Ajeh]

You have to get your brackets balanced ... the first was too many or in the wrong sequence ... the second was not enough and again in the wrong sequence ...

Would it be easier to start with the clean file, and apply the changes you need now that you understand the banners better?

Or, use something like Beyond Compare from scootersoftware.com where you can compare the two files and perhaps see where your code is out of wack?

Hi Ajeh,

I have the files back the way they were before I moved the banner one info to the tpl_header file. So my header file is back to just showing banner 2 below the header image.

Right now the code for my tpl_header file is (snipped top copyright info etc for space):

 * @version $Id: tpl_header.php 4813 2006-10-23 02:13:53Z drbyte $

the tpl_main_page.php is as it was originally in the template_default in v1.36.

I also had removed the ezpage header info hoping it would make the easy link pages show up with my other header links, but alas it didn't.

Where do I go from here to add either the banner 1 or banner 3 top banner to show next to the banner 2?

I appreciate your advise and input as this (along with the ez-pages) are haunting me.

thank you,
