Header Logo on Main Page...

[mouthtrick2009]

MIGHTY ZEN MASTERS....

I am once again asking for your wordly sage advice.

Here it is: http://www.chasingamylive.com/zencart

I want to have the flash animated logo only load on the main page - that's it. All the rest would have the same logo (just minus the animation - I can just put a different graphic with just the finished logo on it).

Is there a way to do this?

I just don't want the flash to start again every time you click on something and reload the page. It gets annoying.

Thanks!!!

Hmmmm...I was hoping somebody would know...ah well. Can't win 'em all.

Wrap a test around the code that displays the flash:

if($this_is_home_page){
  //your flash code
}else{
  //your static image code
}

Thanks!! I appreciate your response.

I think I'm having some syntax issues, or something. Here is what I have:

<?php
if ($this_is_home_page)
echo "Home Page";
else
echo "Not Hom Page";
?>


<?php
if ($this_is_home_page)
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="588" height="682" id="lights" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.chasingamylive.com/lights.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="exactfit" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="lights.swf" quality="high" scale="exactfit" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="850" height="1000" name="lights" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object> ;
else
echo "Not Hom Page";
?>

Now, it will display at the top of the page if it's the home page or not when I added the 1st example that you gave me but the second set of instructions where I put in my flash code doesn't work. I get a blank page (with just the background image).

I'm sure I'm missing something in the code...can anybody help?

Code is very picky... you have to use all symbols correctly, and not leave out curly braces {}.

Also, you need to transition between PHP code and HTML/javascript code. Like this:

<?php

if($this_is_home_page){
?>
<!--  your flash code and HTML or javascript -->
<?php
}else{
?>
<!--  your static HTML code -->
<?php
}
