Hi all,

I have been looking through the pages and it seems no one else has had an issue so I will probably look really stupid. My knowledge is limited but I have installed ok, changed images to suit, but want to change a heading image to flash, I have done it and pointed to an .swf but it doesn't display at the front end, I have created other versions. flv and nothing shows. .gif and .jpg not a problem even .png.
Any suggestions.

thanks
BF

check the pathes.
best way is, you put your swf file into the template folder.

then you need to set a path like:
src="<?php echo TEMPLATE_DIR; ?>/your_file_name.swf"

Thanks Stefek, sadly no luck, I have tried just loading my .swf image into media nd placing it, that doesn't work.
So for some reason WB cannot identify, I have looked through all files and folders, in the hope of seeing a permission, line with .jpg .gif .png but can't. Any further tips would be welcome.

Cheers
BF

First upload your flash file to your media library, then go to your admin settings page and enter your flash code in the "Website Header:" box similar to:

<embed src="../media/YourFlashFile.swf" width="400" height="80" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" play="true" loop="true" menu="true"></embed>

Adjust height & width & point to correct flash file.

Then open your template's index.php file and find the following code somewhere on the top:

<?php
// this allows to add custom information to the head section of your template (WB-->Settings-->Website Header)
echo WEBSITE_HEADER;
?>

Then move this code where you want your flash to appear in your template. You will probably have to further edit your template file (index.php file) to position your flash properly.

Hope it helps.
