Flash header help please

**misty** · 11 Nov 2006, 11:04 AM

With the code provided by misty, I had tried the remote test and direct injected the codes into your site and the flash works.

Thanks for confirming/verifying, seethrou

Yes, the tpl_main_page.php can modify the pages and logic flow.

Can you give more detail?

Yes, the file above had modified, hard code and without reference to the tpl_header.php.

At least with compare with the original tpl_main_page.php, it missing the section for tpl_header.php which start at about line 64.

PHP Code:


<div id="mainWrapper">

<?php

 /**

  * prepares and displays header output

  *

  */

  require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header.php');?>



<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="contentMainWrapper">

  <tr>

<?php

if (COLUMN_LEFT_STATUS == 0 or (CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL == '1' and $_SESSION['customer_id'] == '')) {

  // global disable of column_left

  $flag_disable_left = true;

}

if (!isset($flag_disable_left) || !$flag_disable_left) {

?>

I think you need to trace all your template files for further hints. For your template files now are hard coded even for some images which you can find in your file above.

thank you seethrou and misty for all your help, im going to have to go back to the person who i got the template off and see if they can shed any light on these files that have been hard coded, everything is working fine apart from the flash header which i wanted to have on before putting the site back online but its not the end of the world and will go ahead and start trading.

thanks again for the help i do appreciate it.

My last message was posted just before the saturday dinner.

For a second look, your file above only disply the logo and strip off other functions and the tpl_header.php. Then the code for flash should insert directly in this tpl_main_page.php.

You may try insert the code for the flash into your file above,
and between the sections code below.

Code:

<!-- begin mainWrapper -->
<div id="mainWrapper">
<!-- begin header/logo area -->
<div id="logoWrapper">
<!-- Try to insert the code for flash in this line below -->

If it works, then you may try to comment out the section code below for it display the current logo and tagline. And this may not need for your flash header.

PHP Code:


<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>
<div id="taglineWrapper">
<?php
if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '') {
?>
<div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?></div>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
