[Tex/LaTex] fancy header/footer on pages with chapter beginning

chaptersfancyhdrheader-footer

I'd like to produce report class document with one style of page numbering.

I've declared:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
\pagestyle{fancy}

but on pages with new chapter the page numbers are centered.

How can I protect my fancy setting form overwriting by chapter settings or how can I define my own header and footer for those pages?

Thanks for any approach.

Make known the plain page style to fancyhdr

\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
  \fancyhf{}\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}%
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}}

[Tex/LaTex] Header or footer of title page differs with that of main text

The problem is that \leftheadertitlepage is defined only within the titlepage environment, while \lhead sets an interal macro globally. So after of the titlepage fancyhdr wants to but \leftheadertitlepage in the left head but doesn't know what that means anymore! Hence the undefined control sequence error.

To fix this, move the definition of \leftheadertitlepage to thepreamble. Then it will compile without difficulty. But you will also find the code from \leftheadertitlepage on pages after the title page. To shut that off just put \lhead after the titlepage is over.

Here is your rearranged file:

\documentclass[titlepage,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphics}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\fancyfoot[R] {\thepage}
\fancyfoot[C] {}

\newcommand\leftheadertitlepage{%
\begin{tabular}[b]{@{}l}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
\includegraphics{test} 
\end{minipage}
Energietechnik GmbH \\
Gesch\"{a}ftsbereich\\
Energietechnik\\
\end{tabular}
}

\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

\settototalheight\headheight{\maxof{\leftheadertitlepage}}
\lhead{\leftheadertitlepage}

title page
\pagebreak
\end{titlepage}
\lhead{}% to shut off the placement of `\leftheadertitlepage`

whatever

\end{document}

I'm not sure what it is you exactly want on the title page, but this allows to the document to compile without errors so you can take it to the next step.

You can redefine the macro \chapterpagestyle, such as

\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{headings}

Or use any page style you like. I strongly recommend not to use a headings style on chapter starting pages. While static entries are no problem, automatic running headings could be a problem. Furthermore, I don't like a header line on chapter starting pages above the chapter header.
