Thanks, I got it working now...

Have to sort out my images and then put it on my live sites...

Nice, Installed and Working. Thanks

You can see here www.evorafm.net/forum

ADDED: Details on how to add this modification so it works 'site-wide' including portals.

Went back to the site today, to find that the header is not showing the pictures on the home page, but it does show a blank box with "powered by vBflash Headers"

See attachment.

Have tried also adding the full path to the XML file as well... still no joy...

If anyone else has got it working, let me know... all works fine in the main forum pages....

Most likely I have missed something somewhere... been a novice... :)

It requires the full path to the flash file to work inside a portal. I did add the instructions how to do this earlier.

But here's what you'll need to do.

Find the following line in javascript call within the header template:
You'll see "vbflashheader.swf" - you will need to prepend this file with the full url to the flash file, for example:
"http://www.domain.com/forums/vbflashheader.swf"

This ensures the code looks in the correct directory for the flash file. The XML file should be automatically picking up the images if you haven't changed the xheader folder name.

Hope that helps! :)

That is what I have done, and the result is as you see it. The strange thing is, it worked when I first did it, and then when I went back the following day it was no longer loading the images. Yet the work and load okay on the forum pages...

I will have a check of all the other settings, just in case I change something else by mistake... (happens a lot to me... :D hence the test forum... )

Will let you know if I find anything...

Depending on which browser you use and how its configured, you may need to empty your cached files. Any changes may not be seen at first, if the browser is pulling the flash header from the cache instead of the server.

I use Firefox, and set to on close delete cached files.

Well, I have worked out what is happening, as it also happens to some links on the same page(but not all of them,) it adds in my site address twice for some things.

So I suspect it is adding in the site address in double for the images... I will find the problem eventually...:)

Sounds like you may have a replacement variable set wrong. It could be style, code or template related though. Strange why it happens on this modification though, since it doesn't use any variables as such.

Thanks........
