I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I can get a link back to my homepage in the header of every page of my gallery. Right now, all I have is one in the header of the main gallery page, but none in the actual albums. Could you tell me which file to mess with? I messed with the gallery.header.default one for the main gallery page. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Use wrapper.header and wrapper.footer, they do the entire site. This is a pretty common question that has been answered frequently, see if you can find one of those threads

JBS, I did that to get the link on my main gallery page, but it doesnt help out with the rest of the gallery. What I am asking is how do I get a link in the header linking back to my home site on EVERY gallery page. I took a look at the wrapper.header and wrapper.footer files and they aint nothing but a bunch of jibberish that I cant make out. Any more ideas?

These are the only files that are included in EVERY gallery page. Learn them and enjoy them!

Try this. I just tried it with 3 diff skins and it worked perfect for me.

Open the directory for what ever skin you are using.
creat a folder named tpl
Then in that folder creat a document named header.tpl
add this to the header.tpl

<DIV align="Left"><TABLE>
<TR>
<TH>
<a href="http://jbsdragracing.com/">Back to jbsdragracing.com</a>
</TH>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV>

Change the URL to the address to your home page and change the Back to jbsdragracing.com to what you want to say.
Save and close and see how it looks.

I followed the intructions below exactly to add a link back to my homepage however it doesn't work for me. Is there a bug with this working for gallery v1.4.4?

Reading files named *.tpl is a 1.5 feature. Either do this the 1.4.x way or upgrade to 1.5.

Could they add includeTemplate('header.tpl'); to the wrapper.header.default in 1.4 and it work?

I did not really play with 1.4 much

I like the ability to use the Header.tpl it gives you allot of options

JB.....The Gallery team get a A+ on 1.5 from me :D

I'd rather not upgrade to 1.5 if I dont have to since I haven't had any other problems. How do I add the link back to the homepage using the 1.4.x way? I apprepricate any suggestions.

Yea! that worked for me, thanks a lot for the help, JBSRace1. Now if someone could tell what to add to that code that would make the text change color to white when a mouse is over, I would be extremely gratfull. I am a new at this and I do realize that this common knowledge but for me this stuff is very new. Thanks again.

I belive all you have to do is change the color for (.title A:hover) in the "screen.css" for the skin that you are using to FFFFFF
