Need help with header in planetfall template

racefanatic · 18.12.2004, 18:47

I need some help I accidentally messed up some code in the header and now I cant get anything to work there, I was replaceing it with mine and not sure what I did wrong I'm no programmer so I'm not sure what to look for.

Here is the first 30 or so line of the HTML I belive somewhere in here is the issue.
<?php
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
// needed to seperate the ISO number from the language file constant _ISO
$iso = split( '=', _ISO );
// xml prolog
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'. $iso[1] .'"?' .'>';
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<?php
if ( $my->id ) {
initEditor();
}
?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; <?php echo _ISO; ?>" />
<?php mosShowHead(); ?>
<link href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/rhuk_planetfall/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/rhuk_planetfall/images/favicon.ico" />
</head>
<body class="page_bg">
<a name="up" id="up"></a>
<?php
@$collspan_offset = ( mosCountModules( 'right' ) + mosCountModules( 'user2' ) and !$_REQUEST['task'] == 'edit' ) ? 2 : 1;
?>
<div align="center" >
<table width="798" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="big_frame">

These lines are not the issue. The only change you made to the original is the place where to retrieve the favicon.ico.
You better do a content compare on the original and the modified one. Concentrate on the differences!

walb, thanks for the advice but one problem, I dont have this is the original this is it. I know I should have made a backup

but I dont have one from before I messed this up. I'm not sure as to what u refer to either, remember I'm new to css stuff, I'm learning as I go. so and other Ideas.

You can allways redownload 4.5.1a and copy planetfall out of the zip/tar.
Then you have returned your original...

Well walb I took your advise and it messed me up even more see my site now I have a link on the top bar showing "sitemap" ? not sure where that came from. I dl'el the template from mamboportal, someone must have changed some things in it

I'll play with what I got (crossing fingers) and see If I cant make this work. or I'll just start all over again

This has nothing to do with the template
Probably you have to examine wat is specified in your Top Menu. Main Menu is OK.
Site Map and Help make up funny url's pointing to com_contact (why?) and a weird itemid ending with a #. So it is the top menu to examine
At least your template is working again.

I looked at the top menu and I shows "Home" "Links" "Contact Us" & "News" which I had before I reinstalled just the template, But as you can see the links and and contact us have been replaced. I did get back some things I screwed up but now this

I use cPanel to run my site and loaded mambo thru fantastico. I had not set up a help or sitemap link before thats why I think someone had made some changes to the template that I dl'ed.

Thanks alot for the help
