Hello,

How do I create my own Header and Footer?

I was able to change the Header Gallery logo to mine but that was about it. I know some HTML but within that code, I could not figure out how to add a link to my logo.

As for the footer... Which is the file (and where) to edit the footer?

I found some info here on the Forum about editing the theme.tpl but I only see a gsfooter mentioned there but no image or URL links so I don't know how to change that to mine.

Can I totally remove that XHTML and KTHXBYE icons?

What is that validation thing for? I suppose I had to click on it, which I did. It gave me an error, something I had to change in Config, which I changed to TRUE (hope that was right) and then the validation thing worked (what is that for???). Can I change the Config back to false now?

Sorry.. lots of questions.

Alexandra

Everything you need to change is in the theme.tpl file.

The header image is the image under this line
<div id="gsHeader">

To remove the XHTML and KTHXBYE icons remove these lines towards the bottom of the file

       
{g->logoButton type="validation"}
{g->logoButton type="gallery2"}
{g->logoButton type="gallery2-version"}

Validation sends the HTML to a validator and it tells you if you have any errors in your code. Yes you can change it back to false in config.

Thanks lvthunder,

I had changed the header already, but don't know how to put a link on to the image. I tried regular HITML that I know, but it did not work.

There has to be a file that has these keywords and the HTML in it. Just like the footer images. It just says {g->logoButton type="gallery2"} , but where is the file that says where "gallery2" button links to??

As for removing the footer buttons. That was easy, thank you so much!! I left the Gallery button there, after all, need to give them the credit!

BTW, my Validation passed!!
