    Hi,

    I've just started customizing my amember installation and ran into this, so I thought I better ask before I get too much further:

    I want to make some fairly simple changes to the interface, top banner, tiled background, put the amember stuff in a white table, bottom graphic and text (in a table). I just started modifying header.html and my background shows up on login.php and signup.php, but not logout.php or redirect.php (I get the plain white background).

    Do I need to manually modify each .html template to include my background?

    Also, I want to put the amember stuff in a table with a white background, can I just put the pieces of code in header.html and footer.html or do I have to modify every template?

    Thanks,

    Paul

    Maybe this

    What if you define the background properties in an external style sheet and then link them in the header. This should make those changes take affect on any page using the header.

    I thought that's what "header.html" and "footer.html" did, but apparently they aren't called by "redirect.php". It becomes real noticeable because my site uses a dark blue granite background. Otherwise, amember blended in fairly nicely very easily, I only have to tweak the fonts a bit.

    At this point, I'm debating if I want the site to keep this "white flash" screen when being directed to the member's area or not. Might be more work than it's worth.

    Yes, redirect.html doesn't include this header, however, you may edit redirect.html itself as you wish.

    Hi Alex,

    Is there a reason why redirect.php doesn't use the header/footer info? Do most people out there leave it blank or do they change it to match the rest of the site?

    Thanks,

    Paul

    Paul,
    there are no serious reasons - it is so by historical reasons.
