Glad you're enjoying it, Aaron - and, yep, isn't it nice that most mistakes now are our own :)

Hi everyone, i'm new here :) and pls excuse my english, i'm chinese :p

Thanks everyone for providing the great tips, now i have implement the single menu page. but i have 1 question, at first i use CSS menu generator and when open my web page, it ask permission to open and it's annoying. is CSS same as javascript??

then i switch to CSS tab designer 2, it didnt ask permission (it's great) to open the page, but everytime i update the code, i have to manually put in extra line to let the link open in new window, the default is to open in same window.

now i have to use BV text menu, and it's simpler, but no fantasy button :( .
Is there another free generator to recommends?
Thanks again to all the experts out there ^-^

First off...great tip. I have been trying to figure out php for a while, so I am hoping to implement this soon. I am a noob to BV and I have been wrestling with this for hours and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I am rebuilding our e-commerce website (www.bornathleticstore.com) and I know I need the php to make it easy to update. I Won't be changing the nameservers over until the site is done...so for now the site is at http://75.126.169.142/~upzrxcjf/. So far all I have published is a minimal index page (index.php) and the menu.php file just to test this out, but for some reason the menu will not show up. I have viewed the source code on the index page and all looks good from there...I think the menu.php file is in the wrong place...I've tried several different folders as well as no folder at all, but I don't know where it should go. Can anyone help?

thanks-

tb

I think I figured it out. This is pretty cool!

You were working while we were all sleeping- and answering your own questions :) I think, from what you told me last night, that you're switching to Soho, tho - good luck - where ever/however you build!

I am having trouble getting a php footer to work on my web site. The site is published but I am redoing the template (and then all the pages). On the current publication, I was able to understand and put to use the info provided here to establish a php menu.

I even printed the instructions given here, highlighted, and studied them to no avail. I need the code (apparently spelled out in plain English) that is required to do a footer. This is a link to my "problem".

http://www.elizabethbaileyportraits....w_template.php

This is the HTML I generated in order to achieve this mess:

Quote:

<? function footer() { ?>
<center><font face="verdana" color="666666" size="1">Elizabeth Bailey Portraits<br>
Represented by Garden Party Teas, Ltd. Co.<br>
Bardstown, KY 40004<br>
502-541-1844<BR><BR>
<h3>Convenient to the Washington DC area 20194</h3></center><br>
<center>The original oil paintings on this website were all created and copyrighted by<br> Elizabeth R. Bailey.<br>Other than the owners of the portraits presented here,<br>use of these images or their reproduction by any other <br>individual or organization is strictly prohibited.<br><p>
<font size="2" face="Verdana"> <b><?php
include ("footer.php");
footer();
?>

Any ideas as to what I have done wrong?

barbroberts · #**283** 07-10-2007, 08:40 PM

It's working now, I don't know why, but it is! I didn't think I had made any changes to what i'd done but it is working!

navaldesign · #**284** 07-10-2007, 08:51 PM

Here is a simplified version:

This is the code for the footer: save it as html and upload it in your site:

<center><font face="verdana" color="666666" size="1">Elizabeth Bailey Portraits<br>
Represented by Garden Party Teas, Ltd. Co.<br>
Bardstown, KY 40004<br>
502-541-1844<BR>
<BR>
<h3>Convenient to the Washington DC area 20194</h3></center>
<br>
<center>The original oil paintings on this website were all created and copyrighted by<br>
Elizabeth R. Bailey.<br>
Other than the owners of the portraits presented here,<br>
use of these images or their reproduction by any other <br>
individual or organization is strictly prohibited.<br>

In your page, where you want the footer to appear, place instead this code:

<?php
include ("footer.html");
?>

This is usually done placing a html box in your page (if you use BV) and placing it in the position you want the footer to appear.

html? I got it to work saving as php instead of html. It's working so I don't want to touch it. But I am trying to do the same with the image in the header. I would like to occasionally be able to change this image.
This is what I have now:
http://www.elizabethbaileyportraits....w_template.php
I have used this code in my feeble attempt to create a php file that would enable me to change the image.

Quote:

<? function sidemenu() { ?><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>head_image</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Created by BlueVoda">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<div id="bv_" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:23 3px;height:125px;z-index:0" align="left">
<img src="http://www.elizabethbaileyportraits.com/bv01037.gif"></div>
</body>
</html>

I don't know how the other stuff got in there. All I put in was <img src="....">

Is it possible to change this image through a php file? and if so, what is the code? thank you in advance.

barbroberts · #**286** 07-10-2007, 10:00 PM

CORRECTION: This is what I put on my template in an html box where I want the image to be:
<?php
include ("sidemenu.php");
sidemenu();
?>

I saved the new template as a php and published. The php file (which I created in the upper left corner like the menu and footer) contains this code:

<?php
include ("sidemenu.php");
sidemenu();
?><img src="http://www.elizabethbaileyportraits.com/bv01037.gif">

I saved the header image file as "image.php and published and got nothing! Where is the error of my ways?

I'm going to get away from this for a while. It exhausts me.
