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>
';

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

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!
