First problem, there is no </head> tag added when I let AutoTheme generate the header.

Second problem is that I am adding custom code to the head() function in header.php from PHP-Nuke. However AutoTheme does not appear to be processing this information and instead prints it's own <head> information. I need to know where AutoTheme gets it's header information from and why header.php does not get parsed.

1. You probably don't have a </head> tag in your theme.html.

2. AutoTheme uses templates for almost everything so that it is easily customizable. You can customize the head by editing the correct template for your doctype. These are found in 'modules/AutoTheme/templates/php-nuke/' and the default is 'HTML401_Transitional.html' or you can select another one for each page in the AutoTheme admin if you wish.

The problem I'm encountering is that most PHP-Nuke modules begin by running 'include("header.php");' which works fine if AutoTheme is enabled but changes made to header.php are ignored.

The problem occurs when tying to use the Gallery2 integration package. Instead of simply running 'include("header.php");' this script reads header.php line by line, stores the contents to a $header variable, modifiers the $header variable to include it's required css, js, etc, and then runs eval($header). However since we've already determined that the actual header content of header.php gets replaced by AutoTheme this does not function.

So I guess my options are:

a) Add php code to 'HTML401_Transitional.html' (or one of the others) to conditionally add the css/js/etc to the header but will this code get evaluated?

b) Create a seperate static doctype file and configure it for use only with the gallery2 module

Both options will work, or if Gallery uses a stylesheet copy it to your theme style/ directory (if it doesn't, paste the styles into a new stylesheet and save it in your theme style/ directory).

Then all you need to do is go to AutoTheme admin, select your theme, create a Custom Page for Gallery and select the additional stylesheet in the dropdown.

Aside from that, the other two options will work, all you need to do is add the PHP code like normal surrounded by the PHP tags. To conditionally do it for Just Gallery you can use the AutoTheme API if you like:

if (atGetModName() == "Gallery") {
do stuff........
}

FYI... If you use PHP, the AutoTheme API provides a fairly simple and consistant interface and it works across all AutoTheme platforms. Some of the more popular functions are:

atGetHomeMod()
atIsHomePage()
atIsAdminUser()
atIsLoggedIn()
atGetUserName()
atGetModName()
atGetLang()

Back to the missing </head> tag. I checked my theme.html and the first line was in fact </head> but was not showing up in my page source. I added a comment above this line and the comment did not appear BUT the </head> tag did. I switched the order of the comment and </head> tag and the comment, now the 2nd line, showed up but </head> did not.

Is it programmed behavior for AutoTheme to ignore the first line in theme.html or is there some sort of error here?

For reference you can view the source from http://oldschoolsfinest.com/ and compare it to http://oldschoolsfinest.com/themes/411/theme.html In theme.html you'll see my <--! Cory --> comment but not in the page source.

AutoTheme expects a valid HTML document, so at a minimum you need the following in this order:

<html><head></head><body></body></html>
