Help with edit bar, searched forums but to no success

Permalink
Hi my name is Nik and I just started using concrete5 a few days ago for a project. So I made a custom html page and followed the video online on how to convert static html pages to concrete5. My problem is I can't get the edit bar to show up no matter what I do. I've added the code

<? Loader::element('header_required'); ?>


within my header tag but no luck. I tried everything from putting it on top all the way to deleting everything but the css call and the code.

My head looks like this:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
body {
   background-image: url(<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/images/bgsteel_1900x1041.jpg);
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>
<link href="<?php echo $this->getThemePath(); ?>/layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<? Loader::element('header_required'); ?>
</head>


I can't for the life of me figure out why this isn't working. I watched the video like 30 times to make sure I didn't miss anything and I've searched here and google for anything that I may be doing wrong. Unfortunately I can't move forward to adding editable spaces until I get past this hurtle =(. Anyone have any thoughts I know I'm missing something.

hey,
that video needs updating with 5.5. You now need to include
<?php loader::element('footer_required');?>
somewhere in your theme. The best place for it is right before the 
</body>
tag.
