FLASH in Header

[GR8TEC]

Hello,

I am so confused reading all the messages on how to make flash work in my header... as the example .. http://www.fishmakerart.com

I have a .swf file. and it is located in store/images/logo.swf

Can someone tell me step by step (spoon feed me) on how to make it work.

Thank you in adavance.

Try this link http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ght=java+flash

Not only will it help you with where to put your header, it will also prevent the good old MS Lost to Macromedia problem of "click to play"

Hope that helps!

I do not know what I am doing wrong. I followed the information Tina gave. But now on the website it shows NO pictures NO flash and it says on top, HEADER_SALES_TEXT...

I created the paragone.js file and the logo.js file.

I put them in includes/templates/classic and /includes/template/template_default


My SWF file is called logo.swf .. where do i put the logo.swf file?

Do i have to modify the header.php page?

Please help. I feel helpless...

You would put the path to your flash in the javascript hun ... can i peek at a URL to try to help you more ?

www.lesfoyersecologiques.com

currently there is a gif file there ... in HEADER.PHP the file logo.gif is being used.

Here is the location of the swf file. http://www.lesfoyersecologiques.com/logo.swf

I really need to be spoon fed on this one.... I can not understand why I can not do this...

I think i have all the files,,, I just can't put it together...

Is there any way to use MSN or some sort of instant messenger?

THanx in advance..

Please refer to the topic below for the steps how to put Flash in the header. Although it may not detail for your situation, the concept is similar.

Thank you for your reply.

<< banging my head against the wall >>

Here is my suituation.

I d/l ZC and used all the defaults. So nothing fancy here..

Currently is seems that the header information is coming from Header.php and in there the file logo.gif is being called.

So.. I want to stop the logo.gif from being called and want my .swf file to be put into its place.

if someone can tell me exactly what to do and what to modify and where etc..... that would be great.... No short form..... I want it all spelled out for me....

<< so confused >>

I would be happy to donate to ZC for someone to get this to work for me.

I am assuming it only takes a few minutes to do this.... but i have spent hours trying to figure this out....

OK Step by step....

You created the Javascript file paragone.js and you upload it to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/javascript

Then you have the code to embed the javascript.
Simply find this code (in the file includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php) :

<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
<?php if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '' || (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2))) { ?>
<div id="taglineWrapper">
<?php
if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '') {
?>
<div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?></div>
<?php
}
?>
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerTwo" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);?></div>
<?php
}
}
?>
</div>
<?php } // no HEADER_SALES_TEXT or SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 ?>

And replace it with your javascript call from the instructions I pointed you to earlier.

Does that make more sense ?

Hello All, been reading and following all instructions here BUT this what confuses me when this code comes
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
Does this mean I need to make A SUB FOLDER inside templates
Just like includes/modules/CUSTOM/ or includes/image/CUSTOM
Please enlighten me on this.
Sorry if this has been answered but can't find the answer.

Hello All, just want to make sure I understand this right when you make a PATH like this includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
Do this mean I have to make a SUB Folder YOUR_TEMPLATE on Folder templates
or do the PATH /YOUR_TEMPLATE means something else.
Sorry if this has been answered before but just can't find the answer.
Thank you.

Also to some of you who are having trouble with ATTRIBUTE check what have I done to my site www.magicmicrophone.com
Each of those products have an ATTRIBUTES.
Did Attribute Names (shipping) then Attribute Values (us free)(int'l +$45)(Over night +$44)
Hope this helps
