How do I edit the header.php on phpnuke?

[Ferinos]

Hi, I am a total newbie at web designing, and especially php nuke. I need to edit the header.php to insert the code for the text/banner link. If anyone could give me instructions on how to do this, I would be most grateful,
#Thanks in advance,
Ferinos

PS, could someone tell me if this is posted somewhere else? I checked this forum and couldn't find it, so sorry in avance if I missed it. Cheers peeps, PS2 urgent replies required Cheers!!

You need to edit it with an FTP client, or with the File Manager of cPanel.
You'll need to edit the header.php, and insert the PHP code in the very top of the header. Do it and tell us if it worked for you ;)

[Ferinos]

K, Ill give that a shot cheers mate.

What you need to do is to login to cPanel. From their navigate to your File manager.

Once you have done that, open the WWW directory and then navigate to the main folder where you have PHP NUKE installed.

Once there, find a file callsed header.php

Click on the name of the file, and the box in the top right will change to a list of options that you can do to that file.

Click on "Edit this file".

A new window will open and a editor for that file will appear.

For corperate place this at the very top:

<div align="center">
<? include("http://staff.x10hosting.com/adCode.php?ad=corporate"); ?>
</div>

For Advanced place this at the very top:

<div align="center">
<? include("http://staff.x10hosting.com/adCode.php?ad=advanced"); ?>
</div>

I hope this helps you

Regards,
Zenax

K, I did that, went to my site to check it and it's taking ages to oad. I'll try later, in the meantime, can someone tell me how long I have b4 my account gets terminated for no ad, and who I can talk to about my probs, so that I might not get banned, this site means a lot to both me and my clan, for over a year we've been trying to get a decent site, we cannot lose this, so please, post the admin/site owners username so I can contact him.

[Ferinos]

Ok, thats slowed my site right down, I waited, and it said it took 2 mins to generate the home page, and that's only since I modified the footer.php, and it still doesn't show up. I get this standard footer message about licensed by php view the licence here, registere by blah blah, but no text link!

Is it me doing something wrong still, please help, before I tear my hair out completely!!!

[Ferinos]

My site is at normal speed again now, after I removed the code from the footer, which still wouldn't display. Also, I uploaded the theme sub black how the instructions said to, and it isn't listed in my account themes, or my site themes.

I have downloaded the theme subblack from a php theme download site, if anyone could give me EXACT instructions on how to upload this for use on my site/member profiles, as I have never done anything like this before, I would be most grateful, cheers peeps.

Ok, here's the footer code for my site without any editing. I cannot get it to display with the text link, so could someone please modify it with the advanced text code, place it where it needs to be, then paste the whole thing in a reply? Cheers peeps, my footer is;;

Exactly like that. Thanks.

I said that you should modify the header so that the ads will appear at the very top of the page.

?> 

<div align="center"> 
<? include("http://staff.x10hosting.com/adCode.php?ad=advanced"); ?> 
</div>

But if you really want the ads in the footer, replace the footer code with what is in the modified version above. However this will only work on the advanced plan, as you know corperate plan requires the ads to be at the top of the page. This code has been modified so that it displays the advanced ads.

If you are on the corperate plan, PM me and I shall guide you into placing the corperate plan ads in.

EDIT: Make sure you place the code after the code of PHP NUKE, which means placing outside the end PHP tag, like shown above.

Ok, I tried both of those codes, both of them slowed my site down, but not as much as before, just a lil bit, and neither worked. Could someone else check my site @ www.hawksclan.exofire.net/home and tell me if its just me that cant see it, ps, I couldn't see ANY footer.
And who can I goto and ask not to terminate my site because I am trying to obey the rules, like I said we need this site badly.
cheers peeps, ps, im a firefox (;latest version user) could this be the prob, I don't recall seeing anything about ff/ie etc.
