    red flag Replace ZenCart Header with html/flash

    Cheers Everyone!

    Zen is the best thing since sliced bread! My site is nearly complete..., the last thing i'm trying to figure out is:

    How can I replace the ZenCart Main header, (the one with the logo and background image), with a HTML page which contains layers of flash and pics?

    The reason I'm using the html is simply so I can overlay some images over my flash background so when the site is viewed on different resolutions..., it will fill the entire width of the page without being to small or so wide that a bottom slider pops up in the browser.

    ANY help would be FANTASTIC!

    Thanks ALL!

    Idea or Suggestion Re: Replace ZenCart Header with html/flash

    I would think that you would have to include your flash code in your header.php and tpl_header.php files locatated in your template directory /includes/languages/english/template and /includes/templates/template/common

    I hope this helps

    You wouldn't replace the header with a complete HTML page; you would edit
    /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php to replace whatever part of the content you want with HTML content, probably inside the #headerWrapper div. Copy it from /includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php if you need to.

    red flag Re: Replace ZenCart Header with html/flash

    Hey All!

    It's really great to have all of this support from such knowlegable people. I thank YOU ALL! And it WORKED! I placed my html code within the "tpl_header.php" and adjusted its position in the "stylesheet.css".

    This is SOOOO much better than my old CGI cart!

    Thanks Again,

    Danny
