Adding php to photo gallery index.php

[brewery15]

What is the file that I need to add some php in the upper most portion?  I know php needs to go before everything and anything, but I cant seem to find the correct file?  I tried index.php, but that doesnt seem to be it...Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

What do you want to do? maybe you could use custom header

Have you considered the anycontent.php file as well?

If you only need content on the home page this could work for you - it is a php include unless I'm mistaken.

Doc's here: http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#admin_album_list

The content of the main page
This option allows you to change the content of the main page displayed by the script.
The default value is "catlist/alblist/random,2/lastup,2"
You can use the following "codes" to include other items (list snipped):

'anycontent': inserts php-generated content that has to reside within the file 'anycontent.php' into the index page. Can be used to include banner-rotation scripts or similar.

I'm using it to explain catalog navigation and search tips, as well as purchase process info. It includes html with hyperlinks.

I don't think you can make it run gallery wide - mods - am I wrong? For that use the header call as Sami pointed out.

And if by uppermost you mean above your gallery's navigation section.

OK I tried creating a custom_header.php and adding the below code to it, and setting the path in my admin config to 'custom_header.php' (minus the ').  And I got the following error msg:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/teenyap/public_html/forum/includes/sessions.php on line 134

The error message you get comes from the files you include, not coppermine. Remember: you can't include anything from anywhere - the file(s) you're going to include need to have been built to support that. Try something less complicated for a start to check if things work as expected and gradually extend your custom header to be able to track the culprit. For a start, your custom_include file just should contain
