How to add button to header

Question

I have a header like this:

I would like to add a button "Buy tickets" that links to a html page. How can I do this in easy way?

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways of achieving this:

First way is to edit your theme's page.tpl.php file and add your custom html into the correct region. This will ensure your button will appear on all pages, unless you have any custom templates (page-front.tpl.php for example) that override specific pages. In this case you would simply add your code to the custom templates also.

Second method (and probably the easiest) is to create a custom block by visiting www.site.com/admin/structure/blocks and slicing on "+add block". You can then create a block with the html you need - you may need to change the input format of the text box in order to allow all your html code.

As you create this custom block you can decide which region the block will be placed into, making sure it's for the correct theme, and which pages it will appear on. Hopefully it should clear how you can achieve this from the UI.

Save your block and it should now appear!
