Can the header include an HTML table?

[bluealice]

the table holds 5 hyperlinked navigation images.

can i put this in the header instead of a logo or other nav buttons?

thx,
alice

I don't see why not, just modify the right files and dump them in your template folder

[bluealice]

Great, which file(s) do i need to modify? i've looked around and thru the forums too, but am not seeing it for some reason.

Thanks in advance,
Alice

includes/templates/YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

Just copy the one from the default template and after you edit it save it to your custom template

Thanks Mike.

i had the common files set up in my custom folder, so i tried that but w/o success.

Being a total ZC neophyte, i could not figure out how to insert my own html file into the tlp_header file (what to type and where.)

what i'm trying to incorporate as my header is a file containing only a table with 5 rows containing 5 roll-over navigation gifs.

where in the tlp_header.php file do i put the code in and what do i type in?

Do you have a mock up of what you are trying to do? Based on what you want it to look like will determine where to put the table. And maybe a url of what you currently have.

[bluealice]

yes, here's the link to the main page:

http://www.musecards.com/ws/

And here's the link to the navigation table:

http://www.musecards.com/ws/ws/inclu...avigation.html

The nav table needs to go at the very top (i have to push down the rest of the text and get rid of the ZC logo too.)

thanks so much.

oops, mis-typed the links.

here they are:

main page:

http://www.musecards.com/ws/

navigation table:

Lets see if I got this right. Find this section of the tpl_header file

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
   <div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

comment out the section in red so it looks like this:

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
   <!--<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>-->

you would then add the html right after the commented out section starting at the <table> tag and ending at the </table> tag so everything looks like this:

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
   <!--<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>-->
<table>
       rest of table code here
</table>

Leave everything else in the file as it is. Hopefully I got that correct

Huge help; thanks Mike.

I went ahead and posted it, but the header is not showing up, BUT, when you first load the page, you kinda see it wanting to load and then disappearing:

Could it be that i have something turned off, or a setting is preventing the table to show up?
