Is there any way, to put flash banner on Senecio template? There are 2 color types – “fresh”, “warm”. Can it be done that one of them uses jpg banner (like it is now) and the other flash?

It is very easy. Simply use the all videos reloaded plugin in that position and go through the settings to remove all controls and switch on autostart and repeat. I’ve made headers this way as it is just so easy.

You sometimes have to adjust the css to the correct size as flash scales automatically to fit the box it is required to go into.

I tried to install all videos reloaded component and it has some error:

<blockquote> * JInstaller::install: File ‘/home/popustko/public_html/tmp/install_49dc83d4757f1/com_subinstall.php’ does not exist.
* Component Install: Could not copy PHP install file.
</blockquote>

Before I try to fix it – this component has ability to place flas on my banner position? Will buttons (menu) be in front of that flash movie or…?

In the settings of all videos reloaded you can switch off all the buttons and other controls so you just see the video which you then set to auto repeat.

Here is the list of parameters you can use.

So I should put flash in module and place it over the banner? That won’t work, because first there is no position which would fit the banner and second, flash would probably go over main (top) menu.

I would rather change the code, so if anyone can help would be it 🙂

Ahh, I thought you had already created a module position for that. I’ll sort the code for you when I get home.

Once we have the module position in place we can then do as I suggested above.

Where do you want this banner and what dimesnions? You say you already have a jpeg banner, where do you have this or have you just edited the background. Are you using the search position as any banner will probably cover that.

Do you have a link to your site so I can get a better idea of how you want this positioned?

I don’t have it online yet.

I use edited default banner (example). I don’t have search there on my site (I moved it to left side).

Once you have avr reloaded installed do the following.

Edit template.css (line 983)
from this

#ja-search {
position:absolute;
right:55px;
top:62px;
}

To this

#ja-search {
height:58px;
position:absolute;
right:55px;
top:42px;
width:467px;
}

You may need to adjust some of those dimensions and position to your needs but 467*58 is the standard banner size.

If it is a set of banners you want in that position then maybe use the ja-slideshow to rotate through them rather than using a flash file but if it is a flash file you want there forts select user 4 in the module manager and disable the search module.

Then create a custom html module and put in the following code.

{flv width=”467″ height=”58″ autostart=”true” shownav=”false” repeat=”true”}yourfilename{/flv}

You will need to edit your background header image to remove the little search logo but that should do the trick.

Thanks, I managed to place picture of other banner in that position now. but then menu is hidden. Picture goes over menu (main navigations).

I just tested with image now, but I think that flash will do the same right?

How big is your image? Attach a copy here and I’ll take a look at the positioning. Did you make the css adjustments? Have you resized the image to the correct dimensions?

I made it the same size as original banner. It fits right on it. But this template uses menu over the banner. If you take a look at the DEMO you will see that menu goes over the picture.

Ok, I didn’t quite understand what you wanted. I thought you wanted a banner like an advertising banner, not a complete change of header. I’ll take a look later.

This probably needs to be changed in code, so that instead of jpg picture, swf flash is shown.
