Add views block to views header

Question

I want to have the views header elements after exposed filters, so i try to get the filters in the header. For that, i expose them in a block, and try to add that block to headers, but no success. I also tried to show the filters-block on the view's page (an admin path) via the block settings (show in content area, only on pages admin/content/myview), also no success.

To add a generic block to a views header via UI, there's the module https://www.drupal.org/project/views_block_area

On the module page it says

Blocks that are generated by views, can't be selected. These blocks can be inserted by views areas.

But i can't see how to do that. When i add a view area to my view's header, i have the view which generates the exposed-filters block, but the block is not listed, only the default and an attachment i have in that view.

The easiest way to do that is to modify your View template. Identify it in the third column (Advanced), section Theme : informations (by default views-view.tpl.php). Find it (usually in sites/all/modules/views/theme). Then you will just have to reorganize this tpl file. In your case, you just need to switch two sections like this :

<?php if ($exposed): ?>
<div class="view-filters">
  <?php print $exposed; ?>
</div>

<?php if ($header): ?>
<div class="view-header">
  <?php print $header; ?>
</div>
