Problem with Flash Header

[dbltoe]

php and JavaScript loads in the same file will turn you gray or bald very quickly. Try changing the info in the following insertion into the tpl_header.php.
It should be noted that I created this with the intent of only having the Flash show on the Main Page and a JPEG presented on any other page in order to save load time. You will need to remove the if statement if you want the flash to appear on all pages. No JavaScript required.

<!-- bof flash insertion -->
<?php
if ($current_page!='index' || (int)$cPath>0 ) {
echo '<img src="images/your_file.jpg" width="750" height="160" alt="Your_File Alt Text" border="0" />';
} else {
echo '<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" height="160" width="750" id="Flash1">

You will need to move the files to the images directory of your template.

dbltoe,
Thanks for reply, and best of all it works

Would you be good enough to assist me in moving it up to replace the generic header.

Since my son (formally in Sydney working for Dell) owns Boomerang's in Austin, TX how can I resist.

PM me with a copy of your tpl_header.php

[RKB]

here is the header which I have in operation now:
<?php
/**
* Common Template - tpl_header.php
*
* this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
* example: to override the privacy page<br />
* make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
* copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_header.php<br />
* to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
* <br />
* $flag_disable_header = true;<br />
*
* *package templateSystem

The orginal header will follow

Ron

[RKB]

This is the original header;


<?php
/**

*
* this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
* example: to override the privacy page<br />
* make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
* copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_header.php<br />
* to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
* <br />
* $flag_disable_header = true;<br />

*/
?>

<?php
// Display all header alerts via messageStack:
if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
echo $messageStack->output('header');
}
if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
}
if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {

}
?>

adbltoe,

Thanks for your assistance,

Should I delete all of the jpg files in the static header at this point

?!?
The tpl_header.php should be about 108 lines long and it is where you are calling the az_top_left.gif
