LOG:
Updated: 7th March 2007 - Updated to 1.1 - small bug in javascript code, preventing flash movie loading. Package updated with bug fixed.
headinclude template code should be this:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>
About
Bring your forum header to life with this ?vBFlash Header? modification. The vbFlash Header is an alternative header/logo for the default vBulletin style. It uses an easy to configure XML file to setup the header the way you want it to display the images. The package includes 5 example images, which you will need to change for your own website/forum. vBFlash Header supports multiple images, image pause and 9 transition effects. This ?Lite? version is based on a default vBulletin forum, it can be adapted to suit other custom styles quite easily. It is designed to work with fixed and fluid styles, from 800 pixels wide upwards. A dark version will be added shortly.

The flash loader only adds 7k to your page load, so it's light-weight for any forum.

Creating Your Images
Your images should be 600 pixels wide and 150 pixels high and saved in a non-progressive jpeg format. The quality of your images may vary, depending on how you want the overall look. We have created example images in Photoshop and entered the ?Website Name? text on the top layer, this gives the impression that the text is static in most of the effects, even though it is changed upon each image load.
Note: If you change an image and overwrite an example image, make sure you empty your browser cache, should the image fail to change. Browsers will cache flash animations, so this is important.

Configuring the XML file
The enclosed ?images.xml? file controls how the flash file shows the images, hence you can change a few aspects of your header. Make sure all your images are correctly labelled and are reflected within the XML file. The ?Pause? function is the delay which an image stays on view ? the default is set to 6 seconds (value=6000). Transition value can be any number between 1 and 9, if you set this value to ?0? it will randomize the effects. You may add more images by adding more image tag lines, and adding the images to the ?xheader? directory.

Installation
Upload the contents of the ?UPLOAD? folder to your forum root. If you receive a warning about overwriting the ?flashobject.js? file, you can overwrite or skip - this normally happens if you have installed previous modifications released by us (we use the flashobject.js file to correctly embed flash objects into pages - this maximizes browser compatibility).

File map:
  • forum/clientscript/flashobject.js
  • forum/images.xml
  • forum/vbflashheader.swf
  • forum/xheader
  • forum/xheader/img1.jpg
  • forum/xheader/img2.jpg
  • forum/xheader/img3.jpg
  • forum/xheader/img4.jpg
  • forum/xheader/img5.jpg

vBulletin Template Edits

You will know need to login to your AdminCP panel and follow these instructions on which templates require editing. Only 2 are required for this modification.

Style & Templates -> Style Manager -> Default Style -> Edit Templates

headinclude template


Find:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Before add:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

Header template

Find:
Code:
<tr>
	<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
	<td align="$stylevar[right]">
		&nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>

And replace with this code:


Code:
<!-- vbFlash Header Start -->
<div id="vbheader">
Warning!!! To view enable JavaScript and Flash! 
</div>
      <script type="text/javascript">
   var fo = new FlashObject("vbflashheader.swf", "vbheader", "800", "150", "8,0,0,0", "#e1e1e2");
   fo.addParam("quality", "high");
   fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
   fo.write("vbheader");
</script>
<!-- vbFlash Header End -->

End of template edits.

Enjoy your new flash-based header!

Note: Adding this modification to a Portal system outside the forum root.
If you are using a portal with this modification outside the forum root you will need to make one small change to the code in the header template. The line with the "vbflashheader.swf" in will need to have an absolute path. Example: "http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/vbflashheader.swf".

Additional Notes:
This modification is fully supported at http://www.vbulletin.org ? should you require advice or help. Please note, unless you click INSTALL, your question maybe ignored.

If you require a branding free version, simply donate $30 and state the domain where it will be used upon, and an email address where we can send you the package.

Well I grabbed it from the other site and there is still something weird happening, have installed it on two sites, same style, same hosting company, one works fine, the other one shows the outline of the header and your credit link - powered by vbflash headers.

Guess it must still be the "forums" directory problem. Will send a pm to you about this.

If you PM me the url, and give me temp admin access I will look at it for you. Usually, it is a path issue, if no images are showing.

I'll also need to know the directory structure of where your images are, as this can be configured differently.

I'll have to look at it later, because over here is nearly 3.00am - usual daily routine! :erm:

Regards...

This modification has been updated... but not yet on here. Its available on the main website.

The problem you're having is probably related to the js call used on the other modification.

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...


Im having this same issue. I have read and did everything accordingly. Still not working.

Same issue with: vb affiliate linking system.

Can anyone give me a hand.

Thanks
