Hi, i have the enlighten style, this is the code in the CSS (the logo is there, not in header):

/* ***** SETS LOGO AREA FOUND IN HEADER AND ALL OF IT'S PROPERTIES ***** */
#logo {
background: url(enlighten/misc/header_logo.gif);
width: 470px;
height: 102px; 
float: left;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0; 
}

/* ***** sets background for header area - No need to change this ***** */
#hdr {
background: #F7632F url(enlighten/misc/header_back.gif) ;
width: 100%;
height: 102px;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0; 
}


/* ***** SETS HEADER RIGHT SIDE AREA FOUND IN HEADER AND ALL OF IT'S PROPERTIES ***** */
#hdr_rs {
background: url(enlighten/misc/header_rs.gif);
width: 34px;
height: 102px; 
float: right;
padding: 0; 
}


/* ***** SETS HEADER RIGHT SIDE AREA FOUND IN HEADER AND ALL OF IT'S PROPERTIES ***** */
#hdr_rs {
background: url(enlighten/misc/header_rs.gif);
width: 34px;
height: 102px; 
float: right;
padding: 0; 
}

What i have to do to have the banners where is the header_logo. Thanks if someone can help me.

Can an automatic rotate feature be added?

PS. Flash banners are showing on the left.

I think it's allready in. Try to set up a slideshow, the effect should be similiar.

Try to put them into a seperate div or table and put it on the right.

But on the other hand - sometimes left & sometimes right -> higher click rate -> more income -> cool feature and no bug

Installed it but every banner I try and upload it tells me that the extension isn't allowed to be uploaded... First was jpg, then a gif, then I changed the default allowed extensions to just:
jpg|gif|png
Still nothing will upload.
Useless.

In the Error Message you have to Select the Text that Indicates the Type of Image and include it in the Banner Rotator Options for Extensions, separated with Pipeline "|".

In my case I was Uploading a jpeg File and I receiven an Error that referenced the File as image/pjpeg so I included that text on the Text Box for "Extensions accepted for upload (separated by |)" and that was it, after that the Upload worked Ok.

Thank You andrefedalto for Sharing this Great Mod. :up:

My Best Regards.

The auto rotate is too slow can it be speed up a bit?????

[Sandgrinder]

How do you make it so it doesn't open the site index in a new window when you click the banner? I just want it to refresh the page.
