I am trying to create a custom header for my Groupee forum. I have managed to do a footer section ok, but the header doesn't seem to work.

When I paste my code into the field titled "Insert AFTER Opening Body Tag"(Master Settings|Display|Settings|Custom HTML), my custom header works fine on the forum home, but fails to load correctly if you enter any topic on the forum.

Here is a link to a page I uploaded which shows the header working on it's own. If you view source, you will see the entire code that I was pasting into the field mentioned earlier.

If you go to http://www.icttechnician.com/eve you will see that the header works fine if you click on any of the navigation buttons, but fails to load if you try to view a forum post.

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks you very much in advance.

I'm not an HTML expert, but I can see that you are using a relative URL for the images, and it is therefore looking in the wrong location.

For example, one of the buttons that is not showing up is the Competitions button. Here's the source code you have for the image:

 src="images/buttons/button18.gif" 

The proper location for the image is: http://icttechnician.com/images/buttons/button18.gif

However, on the Groupee pages the properties for that button shows it is looking elsewhere: http://icttechnician.com/groupee/images/buttons/button18.gif

So, you need to update your code to point it to the proper location, perhaps using an absolute URL.

Hi ICTtech,

As a shortcut to changing all of your img links you can add a base href as in,

<base href="http://icttechnician.com">

Add this to your style in the Custom HEAD tag section.

Absolutely spot on...

Thank you both so much, I was struggling with this for hours and in seconds all is now working.
