Adding text to pane.header

Have achieved this using a "before"tag in the css.

Not sure that's a great solution since it feels like a hack.

Any better ideas?

Code used in CSS...

#webfm::before
{
font:italic 700 12px arial;
font-size:110%;
content: "This text appears below the title and above the folder and file display area";
}

/*
* This floats an image below the unexpanded tree display.
* The expanded tree hides the image.
*/
#webfm {
background: url("../some_image") no-repeat center left;
}

/*
* The client wanted colour. This repeats a tall thin gradient image across the page.
* Our implementation has an image that fades in from white to a light blue bottom
*/
#squeeze{
background-image: url("../some_tall_thin_image");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position:bottom;
}

I've tested this in IE7 and 8, Chrome and Firefox.

Just checked again and you're right IE7 doesn't display the text... was all done rather speedily so I probably checked on IE8 twice by accident. I'm not too concerned since it fails gracefully rather than messing the page up *and* because I recognise this as an imperfect hack and not a solution.

I imagine it is possible to alter the module I wouldn't even know where to begin though. Any pointers would be appreciated...

So the baby went to bed earlier than expected yesterday and I grabbed some time to think.

I removed my before hack from the CSS and added #toptext{margin-left:20%;}

Then I added at line 460 in webfm.js

//my hack to add text above squeeze div
//html string to add
	var newHTML = "<h3 text-align=\"right\"><em>This area allows access to files and resources provided by AfSL. It works similarly to the file explorer on your computer. <br>You will need to register and contact AfSL to be assigned permissions in order to see some content.</em></h3>";
//get a reference to the squeeze div
       var squeezeDiv = Webfm.$('squeeze');
//create a new div
	var newDiv = Webfm.ce('div');
//and give it an ID for css
        newDiv.setAttribute('id','toptext');//css id
//insert the new DIV as the first child of squeeze
        squeezeDiv.insertBefore(newDiv,squeezeDiv.firstChild);
//now that the DIV is in the page use jQuery to set it's content.
	$("#toptext").html(newHTML); 
//end of hack

That puts it above the line webfmUploadAutoAttach(); in Webfm.commonInterface = function(parent) {}

That's using JQuery and the webfm create element helper so should be consistent between browsers. I've got firefox 3.something, Chrome 2 and IE8 on this machine. and it works on all three.

This seems less hacky to me. If I get time I'll look at how the admin menu is created and try to add a way to set the text with that but while I can write java, vb and c# I'm a fish out of water with php...

Hey, here are my two edits. The rest of the module is exactly as v5.x-2.15 is downloaded so if you've got a different version or other edits then you'll need to amend my code to take that into account.

This is live at http://www.afsl.org.uk/webfm so you could take a look at that page source to see what is different to your site?? If anything obviously.

I'd be happy to submit as a patch if I knew how :-)

There are definitely different CSS files applied to your site than to mine so...

Hmmm, would this help you?

Didn't realise this was still open. I've marked as won't fix since I found a workaround
