(:Summary: Group Header and Group Footer page usage:) (:Audience: authors (intermediate) :) Every [[WikiGroup]] can have `GroupHeader and `GroupFooter pages that contain markup that should be included at the beginning or end of each page within the group. This feature is useful for: * adding a disclaimer or heading to all of the pages of a group * defining custom [[WikiStyles]] that may be used for all pages in a group * replacing the default headers and/or footers for pages in a group (e.g., using [@(:noheader:)@] and or [@(:nofooter:)@] -- see [[PageDirectives]]). To create a group header, just create a new page called [@YourGroup.GroupHeader@]. Group headers allow authors to create groups with custom headers and footers without having to coordinate with a [[wiki administrator]]. The default `GroupHeader or `GroupFooter can be suppressed on an individual page (such as a group's `HomePage) by using the [@(:nogroupheader:)@] and [@(:nogroupfooter:)@] markups ''on that page''. If a generic `GroupHeader is used in one wikigroup (say, the Site wikigroup), then the code can be easily duplicated in the `GroupHeader of any other group by using [@(:include Site.GroupHeader:)@]. See [[IncludeOtherPages]]. If you want a header or footer to appear when you print a page (action '''print'''), simply create a page called [@YourGroup.GroupPrintHeader@] or [@YourGroup.GroupPrintFooter@] and fill it with your markup. You can also set the variable [[LayoutVariables#GroupPrintHeaderFmt | [@$GroupPrintHeaderFmt@]]] and [[LayoutVariables#GroupPrintFooterFmt | [@$GroupPrintFooterFmt@]]] in the same way as [@$GroupHeaderFmt@] and [@GroupFooterFmt@] in order to change the header used when [@action=print@].

A: The header and footer for each page are controlled by the variables $GroupHeaderFmt and $GroupFooterFmt. If your site-wide header and footer pages are Site.SiteHeader and Site.SiteFooter, you can add this in config.php: ->[@ ### If you use Site.SiteHeader and Group.GroupHeader $GroupHeaderFmt = '(:include {$SiteGroup}.SiteHeader' . ' basepage={*$FullName}:)(:nl:)' . $GroupHeaderFmt; ### If you use Site.SiteHeader instead of Group.GroupHeader $GroupHeaderFmt = '(:include {$SiteGroup}.SiteHeader' . ' basepage={*$FullName}:)(:nl:)'; ### If you use Site.SiteFooter and Group.GroupFooter $GroupFooterFmt .= '(:nl:)(:include {$SiteGroup}.SiteFooter' . ' basepage={*$FullName}:)'; ### If you use Site.SiteFooter instead of Group.GroupFooter $GroupFooterFmt = '(:nl:)(:include {$SiteGroup}.SiteFooter' . ' basepage={*$FullName}:)'; @] Note that single quotes must be used in the lines above. See also the Cookbook:AllGroupHeader recipe. A: Instead of using an additional page, you could set any wiki text in $GroupHeaderFmt, for example: ->[@$GroupHeaderFmt .= "Global message here.";@]
