Flash to load ONLY on home page not......

every page. I have my Flash in my tpl_header and tpl_footer. Any means to make these only load on the homepage of my store?

7th gear imports . com / store front

Just wrap his around it

if ($this_is_home_page) {

invoke your flash here

}

or if it's to go in the main part of the page, insert it into the tpl_index_default.php template.

kuroi:

if ($this_is_home_page) {

}

This code doesnt get added to my tpl_header and tpl_footer file....does it?  I tried and my page was nothing but my background image :doh:


if ($this_is_home_page) {

?>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="includes/templates/7th/images/movie/banner.swf" width="100%" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="includes/templates/7th/images/movie/banner.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high"><param name="BGCOLOR" value="#ffffff">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<align= right>
</object>

}  

Is what I tried to do.

this code needs to be between php tags.

try this and see if this gives a result

Almost```php

i knew i made boo boo in the code .. :blush:
got to start learning PHP. :cry:

uhhhh, tried that and **now **my page is blank :(

7th gear imports .com / storefront

:oops:

Have you placed it in an section of code that is already within PHP tags?

You have a spurious pair of PHP tags wrapping another pair. this isn't allowed. I've marked the offending tags in red below.

<?php

?>

hrmmm...removed the highlighted and still blank.

Wow, now it really look odd. I took the default tpl_header.php and pasted that into my custom tpl_header.php and added back my flash. Now the size is off.

There's a syntax error showing on the screen. look at the ?> in the top left corner of the header. That's a PHP closing tag somewhere that there shouldn't be one.

You also appear to have put the flash movie inside the unordered list used for the main navigation menu. that's going to cause all sorts of unpredictable problems.

Fixed the ?>

Removed flash for now, until the page loads correctly.

Warning: Expected identifier for pseudo-class or pseudo-element but found ' '. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.

Not sure why this is throwing an error:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {float: left;}{
[B]background: #E4FEF5;[/B]
	}

Because on set of styles is closed and the next opened without saying to what selector they should be applied.

Ok, I fixed that and now no errors. But still blank, Here is my current tpl_header.php. Can you PLEASE edit it and paste it back so the page can be displayed correctly?

I removed the offending per your (red) markup already.
