This mod does not work in 1.0.8, does it? 

BTW, I'm so glad I found you!!! SMFHacks rocks!!! 

[SMFHacks]

Only for SMF 1.1

[brightstarpro]

i love this mod, except one thing. it won't allow you to edit the header and footer data you placed. what i means is, i added a banner script to my footer. it works nicely, but when i went into the global header footer today to change the banner, the boxes are empty. you should make this similiar to how proboards works where the data entered remains static so that it can be easily edited. if it is suppose to be like that then i may have something not setup right.

Yeah, same problem for me as well. Was a solution ever found for this?

ftp into your account and edit smfheader.php or smffooter.php directly.

[GameSocket]

If you are going to do that ya might as well do it to index.template and forget headers and footers mod.

[Nite]

Yes, but if that's all you had to do, then this mod would have never been created in the first place. For the sake of ease, there are two files that are descriptively named.

[SMFHacks]

I need to look into that one day not sure what causes that probably some kind of linux path issue that it is not reopening the file.

[Bill White]

Hmm, It shouldn't be empty. It should always load the code that you last entered.

I get the same problem. And maybe this will help to solve it:

When I navigate to index.php?action=globalhf;sesc I get an error message in the error log as follows:

<my name   Today at 01:47:54 PM 
<my IP address>     <my session number> 
http://<mysite.com/smf/index.php?action=globalhf;sesc 
8: Undefined index: sa
File: /.../.../public_html/smf/Sources/globalhf.php
Line: 29

That suggests that, when I go to edit the headers and footers, the routine is unable to successfully execute a line that locates existing data so that it can be pulled and presented for editing. Maybe the code can be adjusted?

I ran into another little problem with Global Headers and Footers. I uninstalled and reinstalled the module. Now any header shows up twice. If I delete the header, nothing shows up, but when I reenter it, it shows up twice again.

Maybe the install enters some code, and the uninstall does not remove it, but removes the data. So then the reinstall enters duplicate code that displays whatever header data a second time. That's my guess.

I also have both problems.  Is there a cure for this yet?

[SMFHacks]

No cure for linux servers.

Header for most themes would be located under the menu bar.

Footer is right above the copyright line.

Is there a way we can change the location of the header that instead of beneath the menu bar, the entered header code goes someplace else towards the top of the page, say above all the user info, before any of the table for the board starts?

Thanks in advance...

[SMFHacks]

You would need to edit the location of the code.

You would need to edit the location of the code.

Thanks for the reply! It's the index.template.php that I should be editing right?

I did try that, but can't seem to have much success; I keep getting template parse errors... Is this the code we'd need to edit/move?

(located in <head> section):

Code:

// We'll have to use the cookie to remember the header...
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
$options['collapse_header'] = !empty($_COOKIE['upshrink']);

// Output any remaining HTML headers. (from mods, maybe?)
echo $context['html_headers'], '

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
var current_header = ', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'false' : 'true', ';

function shrinkHeader(mode)
{';

// Guests don't have theme options!!
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo '
document.cookie = "upshrink=" + (mode ? 1 : 0);';
else
echo '
smf_setThemeOption("collapse_header", mode ? 1 : 0, null, "', $context['session_id'], '");';

echo '
document.getElementById("upshrink").src = smf_images_url + (mode ? "/upshrink2.gif" : "/upshrink.gif");

document.getElementById("upshrinkHeader").style.display = mode ? "none" : "";

current_header = mode;
}
// ]]></script>

I can't seem to locate it in the body... the place where I "think" it should be, but is not:

Code:

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();
echo '
</div></div>';

//If the user is below the minimum required posts, then show the annoying message.
global $user_info;

if (($context['user']['is_logged']) && ($user_info['posts'] < $modSettings['MinReqPostCount']))
echo '
<div align="center"><table align="center" style="width: 650px; padding: 20px; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; margin: 2ex 1ex 2ex 1ex; border: 2px dashed ', $modSettings['PostCountWarningBorderColor'],'; background-color: ', $modSettings['PostCountWarningBackgroundColor'],';">
<tr>
<td width="64">
<img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/pcWarn.gif" alt="Attention!" />
</td>
<td style="color: ', $modSettings['PostCountWarningTextColor'],';">
<strong>', $modSettings['PostCountWarningMessageTitle'], '</strong><br />', $modSettings['PostCountWarningMessage'], '
</td>
</tr>
</table></div>
';

A little nudge in the right direction, maybe? What's the code I'd need to move around to where I want it to show?

Thanks again.

[SMFHacks]

Its actually not in the index.template.php the code is located in Sources/Subs.php that's why it can work for every theme.
