include header and footer doesn't work - Stephen - 2010-03-19

So I'm trying to create a theme but when I try to use

Code:
<?php include('footer'); ?>

and

Code:
<?php include('header'); ?>

it doesn't work.

I already have a header.php and footer.php in my theme's directory. Am I missing something?

You could try writing .php behind the names. That should fix the include()s.

hmm, I think you guys need to fix your documentation Tongue

I tried that but it only works for the home page and doesn't work for any other pages

is there a way for get_theme_url() to return a php variable instead of an echo?

Al right, maybe try this?

Code:
include(GSTHEMESPATH.$TEMPLATE.'/footer.php')

This should target footer.php in what ever template is chosen. I think. I didnÃ¢Â€Â™t test it but it makes sense ;-)

I do agree, the documentation gets it wrong there.
