I need to add an HTML music player to the website which will be snapped to the bottom, but needs to be placed in the header. I have successfully gotten this to work on another Joomla template from another top developer by placing it in the default.php. This doesn’t seem to be the place on this template.

I have tried:

templates/ja_fixel/tpls/default.php
templates/ja_fixel/tpls/home.php
templates/ja_fixel/tpls/blocks/head.php
templates/ja_fixel/tpls/blocks/header.php
templates/ja_fixel/tpls/blocks/footer.php
templates/ja_fixel/tpls/blocks/mainbody.php

and the index.php in the root.

I haven’t gotten anything to show up yet. I don’t want to use a Joomla module because the JED is full of garbage flash players from 2004.

Which PHP file does this player need to go in? Am I overlooking something?

Thank you!

@ vibedigital,

If you want to add any HTML tag to header, open the header.php file in the “template/ja_fixel/tpls/blocks/header/” path and add your HTML code to top of file.


Please add here.

....
?>


Hope this helps.

Doesn’t seem to be working. Hmm. This should be a simple task. I must be missing something easy.

I still cannot figure this out.

This should be a simple task and is delaying the launch of a client site. Any help is greatly appreciated.

FYI I have also tried the “Injection” tool in the template manager

How come nobody is helping out with this? Why can i NOT place something in the header of the website? I have about 30 hours into this project and am on the verge of looking for a new template. I am going to lose a lot of time and money.

@ vibedigital,

My apology for the late reply. I wonder if you have figured it out. I tested and see it was working fine. If the issue still remains at your end, please PM me admin and FTP credentials of your site. I will help you out.

Thanks for the reply. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. This is like elementary web development.

Still no luck. I will shoot you my FTP credentials over PM. Thank you!

Don’t mean to spin off-topic here, but I am sending you PMs and it’s not showing in my “sent” box.

If you’re not getting them- please let me know.

I tried to add some custom HTML to the page header and it worked fine, please see the screenshot image for reference:

If you want to change the HTML tag, please open theheader.php file in the “…/ja_fixel/tpls/blocks/” path, then you will see the custom code I just added. You might need to add more style for it, as the main menu is sticky on the top of site.

That particular script is a Soundcloud script. The player should display on the bottom of the screen, like so:

http://www.djidenaty.com/ (not my website)

I have also tried installing a native player on the site, which is also snapped to the bottom. I was able to successfully install it on this website: http://whigfest.com/ In this case I placed the html within the <head> tags (of default.php) and had no issues. Of course I am more familiar with that specific developers templates as I have been developing on them for years.

I am wondering why I am having such a tough time with this template. 🙁

@ vibedigital,

Please add your custom player code to the header.php file, I will try to help you style like the reference site.

@cssyeah

Nothing seemed to work. no matter how hard I tried. I stopped working on it and left my player in there even thought it wasnt showing up on the front-end. Figured i’d come back to it.

This morning I updated the framework and the player appeared. Seemed it was a bug after all.

Thanks for your support through this.
