Default Maybe this belongs in customisation, but I REALLY need an explanation
I am trying to modify my VB4 CMS / Forums main chrome

I have heavily modified the code. I found out I cannot take the user "toplinks" section outside of the "header" template, because for some reason the vboption.facebookconnect enabled boolean is only accessible there. If I take outside the template, the facebook button disappears.

I can't take the navbar outside of navbar template, because it won't show the CMS home tab.... again, its stuck inside there.

It seems the internal processes that actually generate the final templates for VB are so obfuscated and hidden that I cannot work out the processes. Anyway, I got this far. I have set up everything that is not VB4 variable dependent inside my navbar template.

I removed the {vb:raw header} line from GENERIC_SHELL and placed it in the right place , where I want it to appear inside the navbar, see code snippet below. Careful it's long

NAVBAR

Code:
<div class="above_body"> <!-- closing tag is in template this -->

<!-- DLUK CUSTOM COMBINED NAV HEADER BEGINS -->

<div  id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header dLuk_customCombinedNavHeader_div_main">

<!-- DLUK MAINIMG BEGIN -->

   <div class="dLuk_customMainImg_div_container">
      <a id="dLuk_mainImg_a" name="top" href="../index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" class="logo-image"><img id="dLuk_mainImg_img"src="../_imgs/_custom/dluk_head_slice_logo-01-a-07312010.png" alt="Downloads.co.uk | news, views and discussion" /></a>
   </div>

<!-- DLUK MAINIMG END -->

<!-- DLUK NEW CUSTOM NAV BAR BEGIN -->

<div class="dluk_customNavBar_div_containerNavbarAndSearch">

But when the final code is generated, the HTML that is spits out makes the code from the header template (the top links code) appear above the navbar stuff, as if I had never removed header from GENERIC_SHELL and it had been called like normal, thus pulling the code and dumping it there. See HTML below

Code:

Can someone help me!?! this is driving me nuts. I can't work out if the template is generated elsewhere, or the parser sees the header call, but some how re-writes it at the top of the page?!

It's really driving me bonkers.

See my site here for the example of the code in action.
