Explanation:
The first two "runInteraction" lines will simply "include" the class files you already uploaded. Make sure your have used the correct interaction names. You will need to put both of these lines on any page, or interaction, that you will be calling the class.
In the code example above, the following functions are used.
...

header | An array containing your header styling and html code | |
---|---|---|
height : (array) use the same parameters as page:margin | "height" => "1in" (default) | |
html : (string) containing your header html code | "html" => $header_html |
