# Using Mantra headers for phpBB

 * This is more a question about Mantra specifically. I’m trying to grab the theme
   header for my phpBB forum to skin it, however this doesn’t seem to be working.
   Grabbing the content from skins/mantra/header.php and adding it to my overall_header.
   html file in phpBB doesn’t do anything. And by anything, I mean the divs are 
   there in view source, but none of the content is loading. I’m thinking I’m missing
   a critical line from the header.php but I don’t know which one.
 * I copied:
 *     ```
       <?php cryout_body_hook(); ?>
   
       <div id="wrapper" class="hfeed">
   
       <?php cryout_wrapper_hook(); ?>
   
       <header id="header">
   
       		<div id="masthead"> 
   
       			<div id="branding" role="banner" > 
   
       				<?php cryout_branding_hook();?>
       				<div style="clear:both;"></div>
   
       			</div><!-- #branding --> 
   
       			<nav id="access" role="navigation">
   
       				<?php cryout_access_hook();?>
   
       			</nav><!-- #access -->
   
       		</div><!-- #masthead -->
   
       	<div style="clear:both;"> </div>
   
       </header><!-- #header -->
       ```
   
 * and manualy added the CSS link
 *     ```
       <link rel='stylesheet' id='mantras-css'  href='/wp-content/themes/mantra/style.css?ver=3.4.2' type='text/css' media='all' />
       ```
   
 * However this CSS also messes up all the forum CSS.
 * Edit: Forgot to mention, the forum is at /forum relative to WordPress (at /).
 * Any advice from anyone here?

 * Interesting question. Have some header problems too, due to fitting them in my
   customized header. Can’t get the style sheets, which are causing problems. If
   I’ll find a way, i post it. What about overriding styles through fitted tags 
   in the header.php?

 * Through out our discussion and with help from fire bug I found right at once 
   following code in the header(!) from the header.php:
 *     ```
       <style type="text/css">
       #wrapper, #access, #colophon, #branding, #main { width:1320px ;}
       #access .menu-header, div.menu {width:1308px ;}
       #content { width:730px;float:right;margin:0px 290px 0 -1270px;display:block;}
       #primary {width:260px;float:left;padding-left:0px;border:none;border-right:1px dashed #EEE;padding-right:20px;}
       #secondary {width:260px;float:right;}
       #primary .widget-title { -moz-border-radius:0 10px 0 0; -webkit-border-radius:0 10px 0 0;border-radius:0 10px 0 0 ; text-align:right;padding-right:15px;width:100%;margin-left:-8px;} #content p, #content ul, #content ol {
       font-size:14px;
       }
       #branding { background-position:50% 0 !important;} #access ul li { background-color:#FECC00} #primary { background-color:} #secondary { background-color:} * , .widget-title {font-family:Segoe UI, Arial, sans-serif ; } #content h1.entry-title a, #content h2.entry-title a, #content h1.entry-title , #content h2.entry-title {font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif ; } .widget-area * {font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif ; } .entry-content h1, .entry-content h2, .entry-content h3, .entry-content h4, .entry-content h5, .entry-content h6 {font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif ; } .nocomments, .nocomments2 {display:none;} body { background-color:#cd1013 !important ;} #header { background-color:transparent ;} #footer { background-color:transparent ;} #footer2 { background-color:transparent ;} #site-title span a { color:#0D85CC ;} #site-description { color:#999999 ;} #content p, #content ul, #content ol { color:#333333 ;} .widget-area a:link, .widget-area a:visited, a:link, a:visited ,#searchform #s:hover , #container #s:hover, #access a:hover, #wp-calendar tbody td a , #site-info a ,#site-copyright a, #access li:hover > a, #access ul ul :hover > a { color:#fff;} a:hover, .entry-meta a:hover, .entry-utility a:hover , .widget-area a:hover { color:#bbb ;} #content .entry-title a, #content .entry-title, #content h1, #content h2, #content h3, #content h4, #content h5, #content h6{ color:#444444 ;} #content .entry-title a:hover { color:#000000 ;} .widget-title,#footer-widget-area .widget-title { background-color:#444444 ;} .widget-title { color:#2EA5FD ;} #footer-widget-area .widget-title { color:#0C85CD ; ;} #footer-widget-area a { color:#666666 ;} #footer-widget-area a:hover { color:#888888 ;} .entry-meta .entry-time {display:none;} #branding {background:url("http://xyz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_750x500.png") no-repeat;
       width:880px; height:559px;}
       </style>
       ```
   
 * installed with header_hook. Where I found that? .. forward searching follows 
   one result in costum-styles.php(main css style from my theme = mantra): `#branding{
   background-position:50% 0 !important;}`
 *  to whome it may concern
