Inserting code in header

Sergeant Joined: Mar 15, 2003 Posts: 143

I've played around with inserting some random quotes just underneath my header. Having some problems in that no matter where I put the code, it always shows up at the very top of the page. Here's the function I defined in mainfile.php:

Code:

No matter how I try, I can't get a php function to call under header.html and if I try to call it in theme.php it displays at the top of the page. It displays it centered and italicized just as I wanted it to, so at least that bit looks good Wink

. Any thoughts?

I am VERY new to nuke programming and have almost no php experience but I have managed to write a script that generates a random quote like you are doing. I am using sql insted of a text file but the end result is the same. I was hoping someone would post a reply to this and spare me the pain of learning but oh well...

Instead of putting your php code in the header.html file put it in theme.php. Have it set a variable with your quote. You can then user $quote in the header.html file. You can see how this work with the $username in most header files. I hope this makes sense. You can see my poor example at www.my-thoughts.us.

With every page change or refresh the quote changes. It is the quote in the top/center of the page.

I am not sure if this gonna work but i am creating a themeeditor i have functions all throughout it. I include the functions.php or whatever the file is called that holds the functions you create.
Inside that file i would insert:

Code:

You must replace echo's with a $yourvariable if more then one echo is called continue with:

Code:

$yourvariable .="text";

Then put in your global variables for themeheader() or wherever you are putting it the $yourvariable. Then insert into the header.html or html page you are using the $yourvariable whereever you want it to show up.

Sometimes you have to add at the end of the functions.php file that you function is located.

Code:

$yourvariable = yourfunction();

Sorry if i might be mistaken but it works on mine.
