Customizing Header & Footer???

[ahills]

I am following a book (Getting & Managing your first 1000 clients in webhosting) and seem to get lost during instructions for Customizing Header & Footer.

 

I am not familiar with editing these type of files so do not know exactly where to put these codes or what exactly to put. I have been able to open the file for editing - but not sure where to go from there.

Instructions I'm trying to follow are:

 

Open up your header.tpl file and add these simple php codes into your header.tpl file.

{php}

if($currpage == 'cart.php' or $currpage == 'creditcard.php'){

$this->assign('ordermode', 'yes');

{/php}

Then you can simply use this guide to remove all the WHMCS links from your header/footer during the signup process.

{if $ordermode == 'yes'}

<!—DISPLAY YOUR ORDER MODE HEADER/FOOTER, REMOVE ALL LINKS AND MENUS FROM WHMCS

{else}

<!—DISPLAY WHMCS DEFAULT HEADER/FOOTER 

{/if}

 

Thanks for any help!
