Cannot get 'Loader::elements...' to work

Permalink
Hi!

I am in the process of learning to use C5 to its full and utilising the integtral core components.

The problem I am having on a website that I am developing is getting the C5 Loader command to work. On my site I have one standard 'header.php' which I then call from all the pages within my theme. When I use the standard PHP command 
include 'elements/header.php;'
it works just fine. As soon as I use the C5 
Loader::element('elements/header');
it tells me there is 'No such file or directory...' in 'htdocs/dev/mysite.com/concrete/core/libraries/loader.php on line 80'.

I believe I have followed the directions and have not seen anywhere that I have to declare it within the Dashboard.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Simon.

If it is a theme, you should be using 
$this->inc('elements/header.php');


Loader::elements is for site or package level elements.
