Page Layout ⇒ Modifying chapter

[Tdawg]

Greetings, I have some problems getting the headertype that I want for my thesis, and I have tried for way too long by myself, not getting anywhere. The header I want to use is in an attachment here.

I tried reproducing this with \titleformat, but seeing I'm not very good at latex, I couldn't get any good results with that.

The picture attached is something I made, but it is not registered as a chapter in the table of content of my thesis, so its useless.

So I guess i have to change the layout of \chapter{}, but I don't have the skills to do that.. Any help would be appreciated.

The code for the header on the image is given below, though it is a very crude. It was just to show what I was going for.

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
\rule[0.1cm]{6.1cm}{5pt}  {Chapter here} \rule[0.1cm]{6.1cm}{5pt}\\
\rule[0.2cm]{15cm}{0.2pt}\\
{ \huge \bfseries {\bf {Chapter title here}} \\[0.4cm] }
\rule[1.5cm]{15cm}{0.2pt}\\
\end{center}

Regards,
T.

Found this template at this link http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_sampl ... ter/0.html, its number 14 there. But it can't get it to work.. Created a new file and copied the code, but i keep getting two errors, stating:
Error 1) ! LaTeX Error: File `sample.cls' not found.Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)Enter file name:! Emergency stop.<read >
Error 2) ! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I myself is using \documentclass[twoside,12pt,a4paper]{report}, would be great if i could implement that template directly into that somehow.

This is the template code I found on the URL:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{sample}
\makeatletter
\def\thickhrulefill{\leavevmode \leaders \hrule height 1ex \hfill \kern \z@}
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
  %\vspace*{50\p@}%
  \vspace*{10\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ \centering \reset@font
        \thickhrulefill\quad
        \scshape \@chapapp{} \thechapter
        \quad \thickhrulefill
        \par\nobreak
        \vspace*{10\p@}%
        \interlinepenalty\@M
        \hrule
        \vspace*{10\p@}%
        \Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
        \par
        \vspace*{10\p@}%
        \hrule
    %\vskip 40\p@
    \vskip 100\p@
  }}
\def\@makeschapterhead#1{%
  %\vspace*{50\p@}%
  \vspace*{10\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ \centering \reset@font
        \thickhrulefill
        \par\nobreak
        \vspace*{10\p@}%
        \interlinepenalty\@M
        \hrule
        \vspace*{10\p@}%
        \Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
        \par
        \vspace*{10\p@}%
        \hrule
    %\vskip 40\p@
    \vskip 100\p@
  }}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
\end{document}

Change the line

Code: Select all

\documentclass{sample}

to

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}

It compiles. I am attaching the cropped output.
