Headers & Footers Don't Work

Headers & Footers Don't Work
I put a file name (site_header.html) in the "Header" textbox on the modify category page, and it just printed "site_header.html" on the resulting category page.

What's the correct way to use this feature?

Thanks,
Tony

I haven't tried using the field, but maybe you reply replacing the name of the file with the actual file contents (assuming it's HTML code).

Let us know if that works,

Tried putting HTML in the field -- won't work due to size of the HTML. Someone posted a possible solution in "Beta" for built-in header and footer templates, but for our application, we'd need a way to identify specific banner code within the headers.

Thanks,

The Header and Footer textboxes do not modify the page as a hole. They're for the category section of the page only.

It sounds like you need a perl routine that would build on that mod posted in the beta section, but instead of globally loading a single set of templates, you'd need to load and insert headers and footers based on the category used...

Anyone care to take a shot at that sort of modification?
