Edit your theme's template.html.

how do i do that?

Click "Start" - "Run", type "notepad.exe", click "File" - "open". Navigate to your_coppermine_folder/themes/yourtheme/template.html and open that file. Type in the HTML tag you need, save your changes, upload the edited file.
If you can't understand that, you better hire someone to do this for you.

GauGau...It's not that easy as you make it.

For example, I replaced this...

Code Select Expand


<div id="CUSTOM_HEADER">
  {CUSTOM_HEADER}
</div>

with this...

Code Select Expand

<table height="100" width="700" >
<tr>
<td>
<img src="images/php_banner.gif" height="100" width="700" align="center">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

And no header showed up. I'm still trying to figure it out myself, but i'll keep wading through posts, faq's, and such.

ahhh...I found the answer in this topic...

http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=39788.0

the url needs to point back to themes/your_theme/images/your_img.gif

then delete the code for the header.

Don't replace, but add your custom code below the {CUSTOM_HEADER}-section. Don't edit out stuff that you don't understand - if you don't use the custom header feature, then the code won't do anything anyway. If you decide to use it later, you'll run into issues.

You could use an absolute path or URL as well.

Anyway, marking as "solved"
