# Header Templates

## Introduction

Header templates are html files with some macros in it. These files can be used as header menu in the maps. The header templates are located at `share/userfiles/templates/pages/` relative to the nagvis root directory. The templates are named like this: `*.header.html`.
Since NagVis 1.5 the template format has been changed to be more flexible. Therefore all templates need to be recoded to be NagVis 1.5 compatible.

## Macros

The following macros are available in the header templates:

{foreach $maps map} {$map.mapName} {/foreach} | A list of all maps defined in NagVis. The code between `{foreach $maps map}` and `{/foreach}` is repeated for each map. For an example have a look at `share/userfiles/templates/pages/default.header.html`. Within the BEGIN/END-Tags the following macros are available: * {$map.mapName} (Was [map_name]): Name of the map * {$map.mapAlias} (Was [map_alias]): Alias of the map * {$map.permittedEdit}: Is the user permitted to edit this map?
{foreach $langs lang} {$lang.language} {/foreach} | A list of all languages available to the users in NagVis. The code between `{foreach $langs lang}` and `{/foreach}` is repeated for each language.

Within the BEGIN/END-Tags the following macros are available: * {$lang.language}: Internal name of the language * {$lang.classUnderline}: Underline the language * {$lang.langLanguageLocated}: Located name of the language.
{if $viewType == 'Map' || $viewType == 'Automap'} | To be more flexible in the templates we added some sort of if statements. These can be used as in native PHP. For an example have a look at `share/userfiles/templates/pages/default.header.html`.
