Is there a way to have the area I circled ONLY change as you go from page to page. I would like the stuff on the right not to refresh. Keep in mind I'm a newbie when it comes to HTML but willing to learn.

I want to thank you for the template I love it. Can wait to have the player all worked out.

Thanks in advance.

it would be possible yes, just the only problem is it will require quite a bit of work to recode some of the template.

I have to go to school soon but if I get a chance later ill have a look at it.

I think he forgot... I guess this will require frames. You will need an index.htm or something that has a frameset. One frame will have the video player, the other the HFS. I don't think you can replicate the style with the header without a fair bit of work... it might be possible without the breadcrumbs (just header div) but those are quite key to the navigation...

Actually that's what I thought. I already started working on something I'm sure I will screw it up but hey that's the way to learn.

the frameset solution should fit.
for "dynamic" solution, i can imagine an HFS template working this way:
all files under an X folder
the template will just give the HTML necessary for the section highlighted above (DIV)
an index.html in the root, loading the DIV using AHAH
the HTML produced by the template is made so that clicking a folder link will just issue another AHAH call.

Good luck :P

how about
set a default html file that contains the header, etc. replace the files div in it with an iframe and ten you only have to have %files% in the main section of the template.
simple enough

Simple or hard I'm up for any ideas.
I think it should be easy enough to accomplish.
My school holidays start next week so I will be able to look at it closer then until then I cant do much I'm afraid.

OK guys I have to ask for help here I have tried several way to do the frames. All I want to do is have one page with a black background this page will have flash player and shout box 30% of the page. The other side will include HFS frame if you can picture what I'm trying to say. Any help with the HTML would be great.


Thanks in advance.

Create 2 new html pages. One html page will have your left column of videos and shoutbox. The other will hold the frameset, call this one index.html and host it on the root of your server. In the frameset html page, set one frame to read '/' and the other to read the html file you are hosting.

Something like this for the index.html... (I just grabbed this from a site and edited it).

Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
<title>BoneMan's bone lair...</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="*,200" framespacing="0" frameborder="no" border="0">
  <frame src="/" name="leftFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="yes" id="leftFrame">    
  <frame src="/right_frame.html" name="rightFrame"  marginheight="0" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" id="rightFrame">
</frameset>
<noframes><body></body></noframes>
</html>

Then you need the black page with the player and shoutbox... (right_frame.html)
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>BoneMan's Vids and Shouts</title>
</head>
<body style="background:#000;">
<!-- VIDEO PLAYER -->
<!-- SHOUTBOX -->
</body>
</html>

EDIT:
I just had a thought '/' might not work, you may have to host the folders one level down in hfs. In a folder or something.

Edit: I had to modify some things. I had to change breadcrumbs-not to happy with that. Also had to get rid of back button.
But I am happy with outcome.
