Removing top

Post by AlexandervD »

Hello everybody,

At this moment I am redesigning my weblog. The serendipity blog I used is great and was based on the connections theme. However, now I made a topframe in which I will place a menu, like this:
http://gradatie.com/homepage/blogstart/

However I don't know which code I have to remove in order to remove the whole old connections top (header). If you look at this in Firefox:
http://gradatie.com/homepage/blogstart/

you'll see what I mean. The old header is still there. I only removed the #header in style.css, but this nog aparently not enough. What code do I have to remove more?

Thanks for your help! I love this software.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi!

Instead adding a frameset, I would suggest you to edit the 'index.tpl' template file of the theme you are using. :)

HTH and have fun,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I looked at that file and indeed I can add links there easily. However I don't want to renew the whole page all the time, so it would be nice to have the top constant.

Or do you mean that I can formulate the frameset in index.tpl and move all the code in there now to another frame?

Thanks!
Alexander

Hi!

Okay, if you definitely want that frame, you can do it like you currently do, and just edit the index.tpl to remove the banner/top that you don't want there. Of course then your top banner will not reflect the title of each page, and people will have a hard time bookmarking individual pages or getting the permalinks of your URLs if they're in a frameset...

Best regards,
Garvin
