How would you go about changing the single header image on the home page to a rotating type image headers?

Thanks,
JR

Use the [FONT=”Courier New”]Module Header Image [/FONT]instead on a module position – it does what you need.

1. Go to index.php, line 194: Replace
[FONT=”Courier New”]<div id=”ja-subhead” style=”background: url(<?php echo “$ja_template_path/images/headers/$ja_headerimg-bg1.jpg”;?>) no-repeat bottom left;”>[/FONT]
2. Insert code for module position “headerpix” or “user10″
[FONT=”Courier New”]<div id=”ja-subhead”> <?php mosLoadModules(‘headerpic’, -2); ?> </div>[/FONT]
3. After installation of mod_headerimage assign it to moduleposition “headerpix”, use parameter for rotating image header

Good luck!
Bill

Thanks Bill.
Is this the same as using the JA Header module that is shown in th Villadi template? Is there a way to implement that module?
Thanks!

Hi,
I tried out the JA-Header module as well but prefer the “Module header image”.
If you only need to rotate headers and want to do that with either a javascript or Flash slideshow, you can work with the JA-header module. The procedure is still the same as mentioned above: Assign a module position to the place where you wnat the image to sit, put the module there.

The mod header image has more features, this module allows to load a image based on the current context of shown content. – you can assign images to current menu status (the page where you are in) and you can use it for one-image-one menu or content position. There are also a lot of options how to do the rotation (fade, wipe, zoom, pan between images, as flash or as static images rotation).

The way to implement – where to change the code of Rochea’s index.php – is described in my post above.
Download the header-image from the address above and install it in the module position you have chosen above.

The configuration is done in modules->site modules->headerimage->set rotating image or set default image. There is a wide way to name your files according to what you want, so you would like to have a look in the description.
Good luck – Bill

Addition:
I looked at the index.php code of JA Villadi: There is a header-position in
[FONT=”Courier New”]<?php if( mosCountModules(‘header’) ) {?>
<div id=”ja-sh” class=”clearfix”>
<?php mosLoadModules(‘header’, -1); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>[/FONT]
The User’s guide states that you assign the JA header module to this header position.
So the remarks above are correct.

Another difference between the JA-header and mod_header_image is:
In JA header you assign a directory to the module, put your images there and “here you go!”
Header_image has rules for naming the images according to what you want.
