Thanks for the reply, Jeff.
I better not have to pay someone to do this - I developed the site myself!
I'm just at kind of a "novice-to-intermediate" level of php knowledge. I don't mind digging into the code, I just want to make sure what I do doesn't break anything...
Honestly, I
did go over the documentation, but I just couldn't figure out what I
need to do based on the information given in the documentation. That's why I'm posting here.
Regarding your suggestion of cutting and pasting everything from the includes, you said "The open div tag would go before {CUSTOM HEADER} and the closing would go after the {CUSTOM FOOTER} or {VANITY}". Is that to say that on the existing template.html I can safely
delete any content out side of those "tokens" and replace it with my own code?
Also, in the Themes Settings section of the Config options, I don't understand the function of the "Custom menu link name", or the "Custom menu link URL". Unfortunately the tool tip didn't help me. Could you (or anyone) clarify the function of those for me?
The two options regarding custom header and footer includes apparently aren't an option for me, as my includes (both header and footer) have html and body tags and the tool tip for those two options say those tags can't be in the referenced inlcude file.
Here is the code all of the pages on the Web site use. As you can see, this one is for the "Contact Us" page (I removed the page-specific content). It was my hope that I would be able to simply create a new page for the gallery in the site's root folder with the other pages and then include the template.html file, customized to work within the enclosing "content" divs.
<?php $page_title = 'KoKos Pet Spa - Contact Us';
$description = 'Provides information on how to contact KoKos Pet Spa, Inc.';
include("includes/dtd-title-header-menu.html"); ?>
<div id="content">
<?php include("includes/sideMenu.html"); ?>
<div id="mainContent">
<!-- individual page's content goes here -->
</div>
</div> <!-- Close the main content div -->
<?php include("includes/footer.html"); ?>
But it appears, by your suggestion that is not possible. It's really the gallery's index.php file that everything is built on.
I'm sure you can understand that I'd like to avoid having to copy/paste all of the code from each of the include files into the template.html, as updating the site would require making sure the template.html code matched exactly any changes made in the include files. But if that's the only way to accomplish what I need to do, then so be it.
Thanks again, in advance!
