Adding a simple table

[gloerick]

Hello All,

Trying to add a simple tabel for petes sake, in the tpl_main_page.php
I found the right spot, just UNDER the header and just before the rest of the page
to add the code so it diplays as needed but I can not seem to use simple HTML
<table width=100% border=2 bordercolor=red>
<tr>
<td>test</td>
</tr>
</table>

test does show, but the border does not, nor the color so I know where the dame table is
while I develop the page.

Adding to the main page as follows :


<!-- ========== HEADER ========== -->
<?php
/* prepares and displays header output */

if (CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION == 1 && CUSTOMERS_AUTHORIZATION_HEADER_OFF == 'true' and ($_SESSION['customers_authorization'] != 0 or $_SESSION['customer_id'] == '')) {

$flag_disable_header = true;

}
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header.php');
?>

<!-- ============================ -->

<table width=100% border=2 bordercolor=red>
<tr>
<td>test</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="contentMainWrapper">
<tr>

<?php
if (COLUMN_LEFT_STATUS == 0 or (CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL == '1' and $_SESSION['customer_id'] == '')) {

// global disable of column_left

$flag_disable_left = true;
}

if (!isset($flag_disable_left) || !$flag_disable_left) {

?>

Try from the admin, editing the define page "main_page.php"
Add your html to that file & save

What is the reason for hard-coding this into a PHP file?

This will make the element "SITE WIDE".

What are you hoping to do with this "table"? Do you want it to appear on ALL pages, or just the home page?

Further, inline styles are largely DEPRECATED, and your site will probably fail VALIDATION tests. You should rather encase elements in DIVS, and then apply styles in a stylesheet.

But... best NOT to hard-code into PHP files. KOBRA tells you where to put in a table if you just want something on the home page.
