    • Building Custom Header (try again)

    Posted by commania

    In 2.0, I'd like to build a custom header with

    Logo My Site Name Search all on the same "row"

    with Menu underneath.

    In "Look and Feel" I can see how to activate Logo, Search and Menu.

    I don't know the best way to add My Site Name on the same row as Logo and Search...

    - Build My Site Name it into the Logo?
    - Use a custom header with a table, one row and columns, and copy in the Logo and Search code?
    - Modify tiki-topbar.tpl? (which would take a learning curve, looks a little daunting, don't want to get "non-standard", but could try)

    Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I suggest avoiding editing tiki-top_bar.tpl since there's a chance of things going wrong, and also site maintenance is increased over the long run since modified templates may have to be updated again when the next Tiki version is released.

    If the Look & Feel options can't give you the layout you want, then using the custom code box is probably the next choice. It should give the same results as editing a template directly and has the advantage of being stored in your database so won't be overwritten by future file changes.

    You can use HTML as you would in a normal web page, but javascript is stripped out. If you need javascript in that area, then I guess template editing is the best option.
