[Solved] Custom headers and Footers
422
Developer MVP
Hi guys first post here, I simply love vanilla, it is so easy to customize.
My question is thus, we have a existing website, with our own custom header and footer, and would like to plonk vanilla into it. But I dont think I would like to use embed method, I would rather do a hard coded affair.
Generally we would include headers and footers , like so:
<? $title = "Forum"; ?>
<?php include("/includes/_doc_head.php"); ?>
and for footer.
<?php include("/includes/_doc_foot.php"); ?>
So my question is, how and where should we begin looking to add these to some global template to mimic our sites header and footers, we generally set base href also. So really I would just like to wrap our header/footer around the vanilla forums.
We have created custom theme, if thats of any significance.
Cheers Ste

Easier if you are using .php master then you can just include where needed.
Third option is to hook header and footer events with a plugin.
Bare in mind what you are attempting to do has some perils, you are basically crowbarring in functionality. Obviously it needs all the associated resourced the head section.
Probably safest of all is to simply recreate the same header an footer, and give the impression of homogeneousness.
grep is your friend.
Note: our site is custom php, built from ground up, not smarty or indeed does it include any tpl file structure
