Hi I have quite a few page types on one of my sites, so to clean things up I separated the header code and placed it into header.php and I used the include code on my template pages - I did the same for the footer.

Now when I go into header.php I can see everything fine except I cannot edit it. I realised it was because it was picking up the below.

<?php
Loader::element('footer_required');
?>

I really don't want to have to go into each of my template pages and adding the auto nav block to each one. I thought i could just add it to the header.php and when the template page calls the header then the nav will appear. so if anything needs to be changed it only needs to be done in one place.

Isn't that the point of separating everything?

I anyone could let me know of any solution or of how to go about this I would be greatly appreciative... I might even consider you a god!

thanks
M
