How do I modify the header & footer html files in theme folder?

I would like to modify the header and footer html files in my theme folder. Any advice about how to do this will be greatly appreciated.

You can see my present moodle site here:

http://moodle.petesweb.org/


I would like the top page to look like this:

http://www.petesweb.org/examples/example_moodle_pages/main_page.html

so that the FUN moodle jpg banner appears in the header of the main page, and the 'moodle' logo and my university logo appears in the footer.

I would look other pages (course pages) to look like this:

http://www.petesweb.org/examples/example_moodle_pages/other_page.html

so that a jpg banner appears in the header, and no change to the footer.

If you have any ideas about the code I need to add to the header and footer html files, I will be most grateful.

I am using the 'standard blue' theme, and Moodle 1.5.2.

Thank you.

Peter, the easiest way would be you download a free theme with a header picture and look how the theme is done.

Two addresses amoung otheres to download free themes are ClassroomRevolution's Theme Gallery and Himmat Singh's Moodle themes.

Hey Moodle theme designer colleagues I am doing promotion for you - great, isn't it smile

Urs,

Thanks again for your advice.

"...the easiest way would be you download a free theme with a header picture and look how the theme is done."

Yes, I thought I'd have to do that mixed.
