How do I make a header?

I've recently instaled a TikiWiki to use as a suppliment to my web site at http://foxfirestudios.usQuestion . While figuring out how a Wiki works has been helpfull, as well as finding a Wiki program that works well for me, I do have one problem before I start filling up my Wiki with content.

I need to have a header graphic on top of my Wiki pages which provide the logo of my web site proper and a link to said web site. I know HTML and some PHP, but I don't know which file I need to work on or where I need to go in the Admin section to do so. I'm referring to the location on this screen that starts with 'TikiWiki Community Workspace (aka tw.o)...

Thanks in advance for whatever help you offer.

What version of Tiki are you using?

For all versions (including 1.8) the templates/tiki-top_bar.tpl template file is where to put what you want in that very top area (TikiWiki Community Workspace etc. on this site). You have to enable (put a check in the box) the Top Bar at the bottom of Admin -> Features.

In 1.9 you can put your header HTML (and configure many options in your header) in the Site Identity feature in Admin -> Site Identity (to get to that click on Admin and its one of the icons in there called Site Identity).

A third way to do it is to put your header HTML at the top of the templates/tiki.tpl__ template file.

Let me know if you need more help 😊
