Hey all My site www.cgheaven.net has this banner i created.

It uses a .jpeg format. I recently tried using a flash image in its place with the same filename. It wont show up. Can you guys please tell me what I have to change. If it may be the PHP code or what ever. What .php file should I look for and edit?

For including a flash video, you have to use a completely different HTML code. This can't be done with the standard banner module or an img HTML tag. Search the web for the right code.

So, either make an HTML block with the right code, or hardcode the movie in your theme templates.

I am a bit confused by the term banner you use.

Is it a banner? Do you use it through the Banner module? Count the hits, let it show for a maximum amount of time, and so on? Or is it just a flash movie that you want to add to your theme and let it be shown continuously, without an actual link behind it?

In the latter case, you can edit your master.htm file (and the other templates like home.htm) and put in the code in the right place. Just look in the forums, where people ask to (for example) change the top image in the header for a standard theme. This is basically the same.

Im not using that banner module thing. I just want it to display a flash movie with NO link behind it. The image in my first post is the default image for the template. All I have doe is changed it in photoshop.

-so what I want to do is-

Remove the default template header image.....and replace it with a flash movie.

Exactly, that's what I said. And using a search in this forum with keywords "master.htm theme header" I found the following links:

http://community.postnuke.com/module-Forum-viewtopic-topic-48095-start-0.htm#pid202811

Make sure you also follow the instructions in

I read some of those links. The only thing in the template linking to the image is in styles.css I tried changing it from directing from head.gif to head.swf because I have a flash move of exactly the same name. Anyway I remembered that I need the special HTML code for my flash movie to be displayed. I am confused because there is nothing relating to head.gif in the master.htm, template.htm or any other of the .htm's. Template .htm has a link to styles.css so where would I put the code that makes flash images visible in HTML script?

I tried

Code
td.head {
background-image: url(../images/head.swf);
}

td.blockbg {
background-image: url(../images/blockbg.gif);
}

td.footerbg {
background-image: url(../images/footerbg.gif);
}

td.block2bg {
background-image: url(../images/block2bg.gif);
}

This is CSS / HTML knowledge, and there are lot of forums out there that should help you with that. Dive into those forums, as this is out of the scope of this one.

For now, to get you started: Remove
Code
background-image: url(../images/head.swf);
from your stylesheet, so that td.head is just an empty class definition: nothing between { and }.

Add your swf code in master.htm and home.htm where you can read
Code
<td ... class="head" ... >
... HERE YOUR SWF CODE ...
<param name=movie value="images/head.swf">
<embed ...></embed>
</td>
and put head.swf in /themes/yourtheme/images

This is the only thing I found in home.html that is remotely close and it seems to be pointing to a tag.

Code
<td class="head" valign="middle" height="110">
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="98%">
<tr>
<td width="50%"></td>
<td width="50%"></td>
</tr>

the tag class would most likely be in your .css

the pnbannerdisplay is the themes call to the banner module, thats where your banner goes but is that a banner or a logo? either way this seems like a them issue to me

I already gave the answer. You see the td class="head", so add your code below like I suggested.

Code
<td class="head" valign="middle" height="110">
HERE YOU PUT YOUR SWF CODE!!!
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="98%">
<tr>
<td width="50%"></td>
<td width="50%"></td>
</tr>

You could even delete the table below (containing pnbannerdisplay) because you don't use it.

Put the correct path in the VALUE parameter:

Code
<param name=movie value="/head.swf">

Put the correct path in the SRC parameter:

Code
<EMBED src="/head.swf" quality=high ... >

And delete the table below, you don't need it. For the rest (aligning, centering, width, height, and so on), you're on your own, this is HTML knowledge and (again) goes out of the scope of this forum.
