second, how to change the banner on top of the bluely theme? is it possible to put a flash banner there?

Ur desciption is definately confusing..

added a poll block and the item is automatically added to the menu? what menu?

change the menu to some page to your own?

you mean u want to link the menu to some other page or you want to change the name of the menu?

for ur last question. Yes its possible to add flash banner.

give the URL of ur site so others can help u more.

hi

Sorry that I wasnt clear.

http://www.venkionline.com

I solved my first problem. The poll block when added was showing a link in the menu as "polls", which i removed by making it invisible.

I changed the menu name to "Greeting categories".
in the menu i want something like..

<a href=birthday.php>Birthday</a>
<a href=love.php>Love</a>
etc..

about the flash banner, i went to the banner module and removed the XOOPS banner and inserted my banner (banner.swf) but it doesnt show!

thanks
pessi..

Don't know if this will help, but when I went to change the banner, I added my picture into the same directory as the theme html file. Of course, you then have to change the theme.html file and put the correct file name in place of the existing one. I didn't do anything as fancy as your flash banner, but this is how I changed my theme.html so it would display my own corner logo and my own static jpg banner::

<tr>
<td width="312">
<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/">
<img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>cornerlogo.jpg" width="182" height="140"></td>
<td width="60%">
<p align="center">
<IMG SRC="<{$xoops_imageurl}>mainbanner.jpg"></td>
</tr>


Does the physical size of your flash file have anything to do with why it won't load? Are there settings in the table that would limit you? Do you have to specify how large to show the picture? =\

Does the fact that you used single quotation marks like this 'logo.gif' instead of "logo.gif" have anything to do with it?

I wonder if moving the picture to the same directory would help?

I'm very new to this, so I'm sorry if it doesn't help you But I tried.. =P

PS - I am using the alightFC theme by 4thefort.com =)

hi

static picture banner is not a problem i could have just put it in the right place with the right file name but mine is a flash banner thats the problem.

i went to admin>banners and gave the absolute url of the filehttp://www.venkionline.com/banner.swf but it still doesnt show up.

the banner size is 160x90 which is within the limits specified.

dont know why it doesnt work.


should i put the banner in someother directory?

what should i do? i dont find a theme.html anywhere! as many of you said. I can see a index.html in every theme directory.

Hasnt anyone put a flash banner and flash logo till now using XOOPS??????

please help me out!

cheers,
pessi..

i notice you're using XOOPS 1.3.10
could be different.

as for me.. i did hack my theme.html just to add some flash into it. the one below is just sample of the coding.

or else you could just create another block to add flash. would be much easier.


[size=xx-small]
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="640" height="480" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="Untitled-1.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="Untitled-1.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="640" height="480" name="Untitled-1" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

hi
ya i am using 1.3.10

the code you gave is to embed a flash movie which i know.

my problem is to put a flash banner.

by the way i cant find a theme.html anywhere, there is a theme.php for every theme.

HOW DO I PUT A FLASH BANNER ON THE TOP.

thanks,

Oh Good!! Glad to hear that.. I don't know anything about your old version of Xoops, but the one I use has a path that the .swf XOOPS original banner is in, I was going to suggest putting it there :: Xoops> Images > Banners . Glad to know it worked out!!
