UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? forum headers....

I have something I think is weird, but maybe someone will know what's up!

I'm using a couple custom headers, in two forums.

At the bottom of each of those forums, a "Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server" error pops up.....

Any clues?

And actually, To try and get rid of the error, I removed the header in one forum, deleted it from the "edit forum header" and I even deleted the file it created in the includes folder.

It's still throwing that not found error at the bottom of the folder.

Tested this again....

First, went into a forum, checked for error. It was NOT there.
Next, I went to Edit Forum in admin panel.
I clicked the button for it to have it's own header.

Then, I went down to Edit Forum Headers, clicked the button, DIDN'T even add one yet, and check the forum and now that damn error is there.....

Anyone have ANY ideas?

I'm probably irritating now, but when I turn off the option for the special header in the edit forum section, the error goes away.

If you specify that a forum has a "special header", you have to provide both a header and a footer. Could that be it?

lmao....That was it. I just didn't put anything in it, and clicked update. Worked like a charm..

I'm finally getting the hang of threads now! Thank you so much!

That aspect of the forum header/footer stuff could be designed better. I had to figure out how it works by looking at the script.

I've hacked my version so that it uses the generic footer, rather than the forum footer. That way, I can create forum headers without having to mess with the footers.

Yeah, I agree. However, I know what to do now. Thanks again!

Maybe you could help me - I haven't been able to figure it out. I designated a special forum header while editing the forum. Then I went to edit forum headers and selected that forum in the drop down menu which brought up a blank text box. No instructions at this point, no drop down menu to select the header I wrote and uploaded, so I cut a copy of the header and pasted into the text box and hit enter. The system happily updated something, not sure what, because the special header never worked. I can't find any information on this. Are there instructions that I have overlooked and if not, where might I find some ???? many thanks.

You forgot one step. You need to edit that forum and where it asks use unique header footer for that forum select yes.

Yes, I did that first.

Then I went to edit forum header and forum footer and in both cut and paste new header and footer respectively. Nothing new displays. When I upload the special header/footer into the includes folder I see no way to connect to those files via the forum's admin section, so again, all I could do was cut and paste but it doesn't work.

When editing the forum, it only asks if you want a unique header/footer, it doesn't ask which one. Anyway, I said yes and went on to cut and paste into the forum header/footer section as described above. Thanks again...
