double-sidedheader-footer
I have a small problem with the report class file. Actually I need that the odd pages have chapter title and page number in the header, while the even pages should have page number and chapter title.
Sample code like this:
\documentclass[onecolumn]{report}
\pagestyle{headings}
\begin{document}
\chapter{chapter title here}
\section{section title here}
blahblah
\end{document}
Another alternative is to use oneside, but toggle headers based on the page number, like this:
\documentclass[oneside]{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[L]{\ifthenelse{\isodd{\value{page}}}{\leftmark}{\rightmark}}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyfoot{}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter One}
\section{Section One of Chapter One}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\section{Section Two of Chapter One}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\end{document}
It would be better not to use the package fancyhdr with KOMA classes like scrreprt.
One of the dedicated packages scrpage2 or scrpage-scrlayer should be used instead.
In your case, it suffices to load the latter and use the page style scrheadings with the following modifications:
\renewcommand*\chaptermarkformat{\thechapter\autodot\enskip}
\automark[chapter]{chapter}
The first line is to eliminate the word "Chapter" from the header and the latter is to place the chapter mark both in even and odd pages.
If you don't want chapter numbers replace the first line with
\renewcommand*\chaptermarkformat{}
MWE:
\documentclass[twoside,openright,chapterprefix=true]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{lipsum} % only for the example
\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}
\renewcommand*\chaptermarkformat{\thechapter\autodot\enskip}
\automark[chapter]{chapter}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Test}
\lipsum[1-5]
\section{A section}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}
Output:
If you want the header line load scrlayer-scrpage with the option headsepline:
\usepackage[headsepline]{scrlayer-scrpage}
Instead, if you want to swap the sides where headers are printed, you have to define an own style, like this:
\defpagestyle{mystyle}{%
{\hfill\headmark}{\headmark\hfill}{\hfill}
}{%
{\hfill}{\hfill}{\hfill}
}
and use \pagestyle{mystyle} instead of \pagestyle{scrheadings}.

The fancyhdr package makes it easy to customise the headers and footers. For example
Note that the special pages on which chapters begin are not affected by this (though you can change them as well if you need to).
