How do I place content into the %bar1 thing

I'd particularly like to place the Blog Tagline in there. Or I could just hide the Blog Tagline and place some text into %bar1 but I don't know how to put it there. I'm quite happy hacking into the index.php if that's what it takes

Thank you for the donation.

You would have to edit functions/bfa_header_config.php, line 181 or line 187

PHP Code:

$horizontal_bar1 = '<div class="horbar1">&nbsp;</div>'; 


Replace

 

with your (HTML) content.

To put PHP code into a horizontal bar, use

PHP Code:

$horizontal_bar1 = '<div class="horbar1">' . PHP_CODE_HERE . '</div>'; 


The PHP code should not print output. (i.e. with "echo ...")

Finally add %bar1 or %bar2 at Theme Options -> Header -> Configure Header Area

I've been able to put a Javascript ad banner inside the bar1 area.

{// Horizontal bar 1
$horizontal_bar1 = '<div class="horbar1"><center><script language=javascript src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/cgi-bin/csBanner2/csBanner.cgi?g=1&js=Y"></script></center>
</div>';
// END of Horizontal bar 1
}

However, on a few other pages, I want to have a different banner, because those pages or categories are sponsored by different advertisers. How would I do that? I have special templates for those, but they get the same header info. I wonder if I could use some kind of "if is page(?)" code?

Here is the index page: http://larchmontgazette.com/wp27/. Here is the obituaries page where I need a different banner. You can see where I put it down in the body, but I would rather have it up where the other banner is. http://larchmontgazette.com/wp27/?page_id=858

You could use something like this:

PHP Code:

 {// Horizontal bar 1
$horizontal_bar1 = '<div class="horbar1"><center>';
if ( is_page('XX') ) {
$horizontal_bar1 .= '
<script language="javascript"  src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/cgi-bin/csBanner2/csBanner.cgi?g=1&js=Y"></script>';
} elseif ( is_page('XX') ) {
$horizontal_bar1 .= 'OTHER CODE HERE...'; 
} elseif ( is_category('XX') ) {
$horizontal_bar1 .= 'OTHER CODE 2 HERE...'; 
} else {
$horizontal_bar1 .= 'DEFAULT CODE HERE...'; 
}
$horizontal_bar1 .= '</center></div>';
// END of Horizontal bar 1
} 


Thank you. I finally got it working today, in the logo bar, using code to modify bfa_header_config.php you gave somebody else:

 // END of title/description
$logo_area .='
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    BANNER 1 CODE
    </td>
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    BANNER 2 CODE
    </td>    
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    BANNER 3 CODE
    </td>
';

http://www.larchmontgazette.com/wp27/

Could I use the "else if" code you mention here in order to make a different banner appear on category pages that are sponsored exclusively by one company?

Sure, you'd use is_category(), is_category('9'), is_category('category-name') or is_category('Category Name') then

Oh, Flynn, you assume I know more PHP than I do! Could you give me the full code for this? I tried it and my page disappeared. I think I had ' or ; in the wrong places, but I can't seem to figure it out.

I had this:

// END of title/description
$logo_area .='
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
        <img src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/wp27/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/hypatialight.jpg" align=left>
    </td>
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    <script language=javascript src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/cgi-bin/csBanner2/csBanner.cgi?g=1&js=Y"></script>
    </td>    
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    <img src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/wp27/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wintergazebo.jpg" width=221 height=80>
    </td>
;
	if ( is_page('858') ) {

<td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
        <img src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/wp27/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/hypatialight.jpg" align=left>
    </td>
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    <script language=javascript src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/cgi-bin/csBanner2/csBanner.cgi?g=28&js=Y"></script>
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    <img src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/wp27/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wintergazebo.jpg" width=221 height=80>
    </td>;
} elseif ( is_category('63') ) {
<td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
        <img src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/wp27/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/hypatialight.jpg" align=left>
    </td>
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    <script language=javascript src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/cgi-bin/csBanner2/csBanner.cgi?g=228&js=Y"></script>
    <td rowspan="2" valign="middle" class="header-banner">
    <img src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/wp27/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wintergazebo.jpg" width=221 height=80>
    </td>';

The first part, before the first "if" is working fine.

You'd need to add some PHP code to either display something or do something with the page specific HTML code. In bfa_header_config.php all HTML code is being collected inside of variables (which represent various area of the header, i.e. $logo_area):

PHP Code:

if ( is_page('858') ) {

      $logo_area .= ' .... HTML code for page #858 here ... ';

} elseif ( is_category('12') ) { 

      $logo_area .= ' .... HTML code for category #12 here ... ';

} elseif ( is_category('63') ) {

      $logo_area .= ' .... HTML code for category # 63 here ... ';

} else {

      $logo_area .= ' .... default HTML code here ... ';

} 


The dot in $logo_area .= means "add the following to the variable $logo_area" (which holds all HTML for the logo area)

The last else { ... } in the code above will be used if none of the conditions above match. So you'd put the default HTML code there.

Hello!
I am brand new to WP and rather self-taught/functionally illiterate in web coding! But thanks to this thread I was able to put iframe code for a digital clock in the right side of the logo area/header space! Now I am trying to get the clock to align vertically to the right of my logo.

Here is my page:
http://www.grainanalyst.com/live-grain-commentary/

And here is the snippet of code I came up with for the bfa_header_config.php:

$logo_area .= get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/' . $bfa_ata_logo . '" alt="' . get_bloginfo('name');
}
$logo_area .= '" /><iframe src="http://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i1gxxi9j/n64/fn2/fs24/ahr/tt0/tw1/tm1/td1/th2/tb2" frameborder="0" width="418" height="35" align="right"></iframe>
</a></td>';


This page is in draft status. I am urging my boss to donate for this great template as this will be a commercial site. THANKS!!!

Made some adjustments I'm happy with. No worries, thanks!

Hi Flynn,

I love this theme and I have been learning very quickly how to do things from the excellent support you have on here.

I have run into a few problem however and would be happy to donote if these can be resolved.

1. I have added this code ob_start(); wp_loginout(); $loginlink = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();
$page_menu_bar .= '<li>' . $loginlink . '</li>' . "\n";

...so my login is in my Page Menu Bar but I would love it to go in the Horizontal Menu Bar above it where I already have some HTML links inserted. I would also like a register link their too. Can this be done?

2. I would love to leave the Page Menu Bar background white but have the tabs static and hover colours different like blue? I cannot see where this can be modified.

3. Is it possible to put rounded or curved tabs on the page manu bar?

I have provided an image HERE with 1, 2 & 3 referenced in it for convenience and would appreciate any help you can offer?

Many thanks in advance.

Can I do this a similar way in order to display the tagline in bar1 one instead of besides the logo?

In place of bar one just use a div with the text you want in it. Below would give you the text in an area with a red background. Just use this in place of %bar1.

<div style="background:red;"> This is the tagline</div>

Used

<div style="background:#003471;font-size: 15px;font-weight: normal;line-height: 18px; color: #B5C0CD;"> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Multimedia,
  Musik & mehr für Freiburg und das Dreiländereck</font></div>

which works - but I need to align the text more away from the left border, so that it matches the menu items.

Take a look newlayout.tribe-online.de thanks!

Not exactly sure how you want it to look but you can just use CSS to position wherever you like.
