Hello,

I am trying to add a php banner <?php MY_BANNER_PHP_CODE} ?> into the Logo Area between Logo and Search form.

I have tried to follow the recommendations given by Imilesw here (post #4):

He says:

For this type of layout I usually just add a two cell widget area (See ATO>Add New Widget Area) right where you would normally put %logo.

I normally put my %logo in the Configure Header Area like this:

%pages %cats %logo %bar1 %image %bar2

I understand how to create New widget area within Configure Header Area. If, say, I wanted to add Two cell widget area between %logo and %bar1, the I would insert the following piece of code between %logo and %bar1 in the Header Area above:

<?php bfa_widget_area('name=My Header widget area&cells=2&align_1=8&align_2=8'); ?>

But I am absolutely clueless on how to create something (php code) WITHIN %logo itself??

Please explain or give an example.

Thank you

When adding a logo to a widget area you don't use %logo as that is just for the native way of adding a logo. In your case if you have php code for the logo you could just add it in place of %logo or if you determine you need a widget area or areas for layout reasons you will then need to put the code in a php aware text plugin.

lmilesw, thanks for your advise.

The %logo area holds the logo icon, the blog title, the blog tagline, the search box and the RSS/Email icons. And I want to keep all of those, I just need to insert banner into the white space between the blog title and the search form (travelholidays4u.com) and get rid of the space between the logo-area and the header image.

So, if I follow the first route you suggested, then I also need to insert php code for EACH of those elements (title, tagline, search box and the RSS/Email icons). Where can I find the code for them?

thank you

P.S. I am using Atahualpa 3.4.4 and Wordpress 2.9

If you create new widget areas you can just use widgets for RSS and Search

I spent TWO DAYS, but I've Cracked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here it is: http://www.travelholidays4u.com

Dear moderators,

I think being able to put banner into the logo area is SOOOOOOOOOO important for anyone, as this is the most valuable AD space one could possible think of and it SO MUCH improves usability and conversion, that I am positive that many people would want to know it.

So if you approve, I can send a detailed instruction of how to do it from scratch. I spent more than an HOUR just writing it, so perhaps you may want to have it and make it a sticky post so that other forum members could enjoy the benefit and you will save your valuable time not answering the same questions over and over again.

So, if you are interetsed - just let me know and I'll send it as attachment or just post it here. Your choice.

@daveman - post post post!!!

Please.
