    • Header Pictures Module problem

    Posted by rcw posts: 5 macau

    I am using the Header Pictures module with the latest release of tikiwiki (12) and the eatlon theme. I also use Firefox on Ubuntu.

    When I add the Header Pictures at the top of the page it displays the text "Header Pictures" in the very top right corner of the page - see the first image.

    When I change the configuration of Header Pictures to add the parameter "nobox=y", the pictures are moved down and cover up my menus, etc - messing up the look of the whole page.

    Is there a way to get rid of the "Header Pictures" text?

    Thanks,

    Richard

    Is the Header Pictures module a custom module you created? I see no such Tiki module listed here.

    Check your module code to see where the text is coming from. If it is from the module's title, you can simply use the No title option. Please see the docs for details.

    Rick,

    Thanks for your assistance.

    You are right - it seems to be a custom module, but I did not create it! I think it was created by the system when I applied the Ramdon Header Images mini-profile using the wizard see http://profiles.tiki.org/Random_header_images page in the documentation.

    I then spent a few hours to figure out that the nobox=y parameter was messing things up regarding the positioning of the images.

    I have tried adding a nontitle=y parameter but it has not removed the Header Pictures text in the top right corner. And I have tried:
    nobox="y"
    notitle="y"

    As soon as I have nobox the header pictures are messed up, and y or "y" as the value for nobox or notitle does not get rid of the text.

    What I get when I try to edit the Header Pictures custom module is attached. As you can see it seems to be a single tiki command to

    S2
    {CENTER}


    I am bit nervous about changing the custom command.

    Any assistance would be appreciated!

    Regards,

    oops! It looks like putting tiki code into a forum post tries executing the code - sorry about that.

    Nonetheless, I did try inserting the parameter notitle="y" into the custom command to display a centered image (after the stylebox="border" parameter, and still nothing.

    I also remembered to clear out all the caches, and still no joy!

    No... you need to put the module parameter when you assign the module — not in the module content. Add the notitle=y to the Parameters field when you're assigning the module. See my primer (slightly out-of-date, but still useful) for more details.

    Alternatively, you could simply remove the Title from the custom module (although it could be used in other places, I'm not familiar with the Random Header Images profile.

    Rick,

    Thanks very much for your help - adding notitle=y as parameter to the module, with no quote marks around the y worked after I cleared all the tikiwiki caches. I had actually tried this before, but forgot to clear the caches and so I did not see that it had worked.

    Thanks,

    Richard
