Seperate header for CMPS Frontpage

[attroll]

Just got done installing a sperate header for the CMPS frontpage. I created this mod myself. I will atempt to explain what I did.

1, Create a new header template called "header2".

2. After you created the "header2" template opened the /forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php

Go through this file and changed every instance of $header to $header2.

3. Now go into the template "phpinclude_start and added the following line:

eval('$header2 = "' . fetch_template('header2') . '";');

4. Since the template is uncached you will have an extra query on each page. To fix, open global.php

Find:
// misc useful

Add Below this:
'header2',

5. Go into you CMPS templateplate adv_portal.

Find:
$navbar

Above that add:
$header2

6. Now you should be all set.

I hope I have all my steps that I did here. If not I am sure someone will point it out for me.

Nice job. I was looking for something like this. Works great, should be a regular feature.

so what does having a separate header do for us? I'm still a bit of a n00b @ this php stuff. :p

If you want to see what it looks like I have done it on my forums. Look at the main page anf then go to the forums. You will see the difference.

An easier way to do this...

Edit your header template and change the code to something like this:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'">
CMPS Header Code
<else />
Forum Header Code
</if>


;)

Thanks Brian

I will have to try that and post the results. That would he a heck of a lot easier. You would only have to modify the header template.

Thanks

Yeah. That's what I was wondering - why not just use conditionals like that. :confused:

Thanks a lot. This code worked awesome. I recomend that everyone use this code instead of the hack I posted. It is far easier and you only have to modify one file. The header template.
