Putting Flash between %logo and %menu
 

Hi Flynn,

I've managed to put a Flash banner below the logo and menu area -

http://conraddavies.com/hif/

but would like to put it between these two elements - so the logo is above and the menu below.
Is that possible?

Regards

At the moment you'd have to edit functions/bfa_header_config.php for this

Change
to

to append your code to the logo area

Hi Flynn,

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm getting this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/conraddavies/BE9N04NB/htdocs/hif/wp-content/themes/atahualpa332/functions/bfa_header_config.php on line 191

(I presume - $logo_are .=' should also be $logo_area .=' ) - 'area' not 'are'?

Yes, that should have been logo_area, sorry, and fixed it in the post above

Also, replace all single quotes in your code (not in the complete code, just in your code) with double quotes

It worked! Cheers Flynn.

One thing though - in Firefox and Safari there is a gap above the menu and below the Flash. In IE7 it's OK. Any ideas how to get rid?

Ah haa - sussed it!

I put the flash code in a div with the specified height!

So for anybody else wanting to do this here's the final code:

Of course don't forget to upload AC_RunActiveContent.js (in mine it's in a folder called 'Scripts' in the root directory).

Hi all
my code was:

$logo_area .='
<div style="height: 100px;"><script src="http://www.mysite/wordpress/scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( "codebase","http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0","width","850","heigh t","100","src","/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa342/images/testata.swf","quality","high","pluginspage","http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash","movi e","/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa342/images/testata.swf" ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="850" height="100">

</object></noscript></div>

...but i see only a blank space in the right position. The .js file has benn uploaded of course.
Where is the error?
Thank you....

forget that

get the Dynamic Headers plugin and:

With version 3.4.2 - instead of messing with the php files you can insert Dynamic Headers by simply pasting
<?php show_media_header(); ?> in the option pages, simply go to:

Style & edit HEADER AREA > Configure Header Area

Here's an example:

%logo %image %pages %bar1 <?php show_media_header(); ?> %bar2

Also with WP 2.8 it now remembers which header for which page - unlike before when it reset to the default. Wey hey.

Perfect! It works. :)
Thank you very much...

This is a simple and working solution. Tried it with WP version 2.9.2 and ATA 3.4.9
