I have tried through every method possible to get an answer to my questions regarding JA Templates and even been told by a JA member of staff that they will not provide support on other peoples templates………..I thought the Avior and Regulus were JoomlArt????

I am currently using another makers template for my main web site which has the JPEG Flashrotator in the banner header and it is a very popular feature, which I would like to keep in any future templates.

I really like the JoomlArt range and was hoping to use the Avior Extra with the Regulus (using the MOOFX roller) as a second template . I would like to know if it is possible to site the flashrotator into the header of Avior through a user position?

The header image and size is the only drawback and design fault of Avior Extra and I would very much like to use it on our showcase site but PM, Forum and direct e-mail have either failed to get an answer from JA or I have been told no support is available for my question……I was even told I am not a member of this forum or a template club member, despite receipts showing my paid subscription………….very strange!

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Dear Buster,
I am sorry for the delay, I have just looked back again into your problem. It seems to be very difficult for because we have no access to the flashrotator. Because you mentioned about the templates from the other templates and I am supposed that you are not our members. I appology for this.

As I do not heave the flash rotator here, can you give me the URL to see if I can help?

Hi

firstly thank you for deciding I am a member as I explained twice before and for realising that I am not asking you for advice on the Joomlashack template.

The JPEG Flashrotator is free and available here: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,437/Itemid,35/

You can see the flashrotator actually working here: http://www.lyme-regis-dorset.co.uk and this is currently the JS Simplicity Template, which I want to replace with the JA Avior Extra.

My question is:

If possible, how do I put the existing JPEG Flashrotator Module into the header of the JoomlArt Avior Extra template?

Well that’s that solved!!

I posted on the 15th September with a view to getting this done before entering the site for two awards and I started to receive help from JA staff but was then mysteriously abandoned, I solved the problem by sticking to the tried and trusted Joomlashack template.

Owing to the design faults in Avior, I cannot see us ever using this template for anything and I’ll wait for Avior II to be published but will probably be as frustrated again! – if I renew membership, that is!

I thought I would make an update because there have been a few visits from this thread:

I have eventually settled on the JA Zibal template (3 column), which is limited in its flexibility but looks good. I have had to abandon all hope of getting the 3rd party jpg flashrotator into the header or banner image position on any recent JA templates and if I use it, it will have to be in user1 position at the bottom – not an ideal placement for visual media!

It’s a shame that JA produces such visually impressive templates yet are fixated on providing Moo this and trans that drop down menus while being more practical in other areas would ease them out in front of all other commerical web template designers.

I have tried so hard to use a JoomlArt template and eventually after many months I got there but it hasn’t been as good an experience as I would have liked or hoped.

Hi Buster,

To place image rotator module to zibal header, please open the template index.php file, search string “<script type=”text/javascript”>initPNGTrans();</script>” and insert this code below:
[PHP]
<?php if ( mosCountModules(‘user9’) ) { ?>
<div id=”ja-sh-user9″>
<?php mosLoadModules ( ‘user9’, -2 ); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
[/PHP]
Then install the flash rotator and publish to position user9.

Hello Khanh

your instructions were simple and worked perfectly on my JSAS test site. Many thanks for taking the time to do this, it is much appreciated. I think you have just turned my very good site into an excellent site.

If I wanted to put a user9 position in the header of JA Avior Extra where the Avior Extra Logo is currently situated, where would I put this code?

If it is not possible then no problem at least you got it to work on Zibal.

Thanks again

Buster

For JA Avior, insert above code before this code:

</div>
<!-- END: HEADER -->

Hi Khanh

yet again simple and works, thanks for the very fast response.

I have tested it in my JSAS test site and after some trial and error in the template_css.css to get it acceptable between IE and Firefox, it has slight differences between the two but it looks really good – I will try it on the live site over this weekend.

If I could make a suggestion for all future templates, that would be to always include the potential for a user position there because it makes any template much more flexible and adaptable to requirements.

Again, many thanks for your help and easy to understand instructions.

I want to replace the header pictures in Spica with those from FlashRotator. I have everything set up but is having issues as above. How do I make FlashRotator files take the place of Header pictures in JA SPICA? Thanks.

For Spica, you could publish your header module (Ex: FlashRotator) to Top position.
