Hi,

I have a site which I'm converting to Joomla.  I have hired a web designer, and all is finished, however there is a flash banner that is currently on all pages.  I only want it on the first page, the home page. 

On the other pages I would like to have, either a different Flash Movie, or if that is not possible, then just a basic banner (non-Flash). 

My thoughts on how to do this would be to have two templates...but we (me and the web designer) are stuck on how to set this up?  He says that he doesn't see any settings in the CMS to do this. 

Is there a Mod that I am needing or..??  Please help...am trying to install this tonight..

Thanks

Setup your main menu as much as feasible.

Use the installer to install both templates (eg: "home Page" and "everything else").

Then go to Site-> Template Manager -> Site Templates.

Set the one you want to use for "Everything else" to the default. (click the circle next to the "everything else" template and click "default").

Assign the home page with a flash template to the menu item first on the list in the "MainMenu" (click the circle next to the "home page" template and click "assign" click the very top "mainmenu" item listed). The first item on the main menu will always become your home page.

Hope this helps.

We had a similar issue, we wanted to put an image just in the first page. Just do this:

Open your template (index.php file)

then copy this in the code:




INSERT HERE THE CODE YOU NEED TO CALL THE IMAGE, BANNER, FLASH, ETC..




That's all.

Hope this helps  ;D

David.

You just install like any other Module.  Add it where you want it in your template and make sure the module is published.

Can you please explain how you module works? Because I've worked out how to show the flash banner, but I can't figure out how to show only the flash banner, without any spaces or the other banners.
Also, does your module make the flash banner act like an ordinary banner, and so it swaps with the static banners?

I'm uising Joomla 1.0.4

It works just like any other banner module.  You install the module just like every other module and select the place where you want to display it.  I am using the Satay method of displaying a flash file.

I have a site using a flash header image and wanted the same type thing.  I implemented it with the code below which causes the flash to display only on the front page and only if the browser supports flash...otherwise it displays a static jpg header image. 

if ( $_REQUEST['option'] == "com_frontpage" )
{
?>
data="/templates/your_template/images/Banner.swf"
width="778" height="145">
value="/templates/your_template/images/Banner.swf" />
width="778" height="145" alt="Banner Name" />

}
else
{
?>

}
?>


I hope this helps...

I'm sorry to say this, but it didn't help me.
I don't really need a flash header, but a flash banner, that acts like a banner, meaning it swaps with the other banners when you change the page.

Just copy the modules (in the modules panel) and make as many as you want and just designate which pages you want the banner to show up on.  Like I have 9 different flash banners, 1 each for every main page that I have. Just make sure you don't have 2 banners on the same page, then they will double up and it will display two flash banners on the same page.

I have it working in Firefox 1.5.    Which one are you using?  Maybe it has something to do with your CSS.

UPDATE:

Works well, however it needs the opening php tag for it to work.    I've updated the code in my post.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Hey there-  Does the below code get placed in the index.php file?  If so, does it replace the "header" id tag that loads the current header.jpg?

Here's my header code in the index.php:

Code:
<div id="header_outer">
<div id="header"> </div>
</div>


Thanks!  Any help is appreciated!

A guidance for inserting Flashbanner in Joomla gives it here: German guidance! http://www.controversus.de/content/view/66/108/
Joomla und Flashbanner.
Der Joomla standard Bannermanager ist von Hause aus, bei der Auswahl von Bildformaten eingeschrängt.
Er bietet uns nur folgende Bildformate zur Auswahl, JPG, GIF, PNG. Die wir verwalten und einfügen können. Wenn wir jedoch, Flash Banner mit dem Standard-Joomlabannermager (Open Source Matters) einfügen wollen, ist ein wenig Handarbeit gefragt.
