Web Interface Header and Footer

html_header=
html_header_text=
html_footer=
html_footer_text=

You can define HTML that you want placed at the top or at the bottom of every web interface page.

This feature can be used to place a common toolbar on the bottom of every page or a legal disclaimer, corporate logo or whatever information you desire.

The "_text" version of the header or footer is used by ListManager, if the person using the web interface decided to turn "graphics off". In other words, it is a text version of the standard html_header that you define.

Here are two examples:

html_header=<h1>This site sponsored by MyCorp!</h1>

html_footer=<h6>All contents copyright 1997 MyCorp Ltd.</h6>

If you have a lot of HTML to define, you may want to use several lines. This makes the HTML easier to read. ListManager will automatically glue the lines together. Here is an example:

html_header=<h1>
html_header=This site sponsored by MyCorp!
html_header=</h1>

ListManager also provides the option to automatically rotate between various header or footer choices. A common use of this feature is to place advertising in the web interface. Each time a web page in the ListManager web interface is displayed, a random header among those you define is chosen. To define multiple choices, uses two bar characters, "||", to separate the choices. Here is an example:

html_header=<h1>This site sponsored by MyCorp!</h1>||<h1>This site sponsored by OtherCorp!</h1>||<h1>This site sponsored by AnotherCorp!</h1>

If you prefer, you can use multiple lines to make the choices easier to read:

html_header=<h1>This site sponsored by MyCorp!</h1>
html_header=||
html_header=<h1>This site sponsored by OtherCorp!</h1>
html_header=||
html_header=<h1>This site sponsored by 3rdCorp!</h1>

Remember to Convert the Equals Sign to "%3D"

Important Note: You cannot use the equal's sign in your HTML text. If you do, your header definition will not work.

To work around this, be sure to replace any occurrence of "=" with the code "%3D". For example, if your HTML code is:

<a href="http://www.mycorp.com">This site sponsored by MyCorp!</a>

The configuration command for doing this is:

html_header=<a href%3D"http://www.mycorp.com">This site sponsored by MyCorp!</a>
