Geeklog Forums

I am trying to add the Topic Name as a header on the Topic's main page. I want it to change depending on which Topic is being viewed. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I assume it would be in my theme's layout files somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance!!

I believe that a topicname is a story function and cannot be used in a header function.

When I say 'header' I just mean a label I could put in the center block within H1 tags. Is that possible?

Yes, it is: make a Static page with the H1 HTML code and choose the settings: place as centerblock -> on top of the page -> in the desired topic -> ready!

The topic is not currently available in header.thtml, but it should be easy to add in COM_siteHeader in lib-common.php, since it's already out into the site's title tags there.

bye, Dirk

I went ahead and did this for my site thanks to Dirk's suggestion.

in lib-common.php

go to line 899 (aproximately) where you see this code:



And add something like this underneath:



Then a few lines down around 926 where you see:




And I added this above the line:



Then go to your layout\header.thtml and add {topic_title} where ever you want it displayed.

NOTE: Remember to backup your files before attempting these type of edits.

I used to have a header with a static page on top on each category. But unfortunately after migration to Geeklog 1.4.1 (with multilingual plugin) it has been a a little bit of trouble trying to figure it out because all our "stories" are in a way already bi-lingual, so the static page or heather for each category is not displayed unless you select a category, but categories only have one language?? In other words... I want the site work with multi-language feature for menus, home page and heathers (static pages with the name of the categories being displayed) , but not the categories. Is this possible??? I will appreciate very much for your help or guidance. Regards to all.

Sorry, it is header instead of heather.
