De.scription and Message

Ok this is an Odd Problem. I have made a Flash banner. I imported it into My data base. When I go to styles admin and then banner and select flash file and link it to my data base address of the file. It Resizes the banner really small. Thats not the size I made it. I even have the Images size chosen to size it should be and have chosen 0 as default size as well. Its seems no matter what I do it makes it small. Any Idea's?

If its the header banner you are referring to you need to edit the size in the admin/banner_edit_body.tpl for the theme you are using.. or the tables themselves in the overall_header.tpl for that theme (I believe those tables are set at 60% and 20%)

play with the table width percentages for the banner (remember to save your original files!)

I would suggest though, that if its the logo your trying to replace and not the banner.. you edit the logo size in your themes overall_header.tpl ... (right click on the image.. open the file in an editor like pspad or notepad and search for the name of the image.. once found change the sizes associated with it there.. upload)

Good Luck .. need a hand, pm me

Ok I found file and tried editing it. It was set to 38%. However did not fix problem only move banner over to right side of page.

Ok.. I went to your site and downloaded your flash... I put it up on my site to show you what to do
(I adjusted the size to facilitate the height of my existing top images- personally I would resize those)

sample..

Code: Select all

http]

what you need to do is get rid of the mods you did prior and/or upload a fresh overall_header.tpl

now...

OPEN   templates/xxxx/overall_header.tpl

FIND AND DELETE
[code]<td>     </td>[/code]

FIND
[code]<td><a><img></a></td>[/code]

REPLACE WITH
[code]<td><a><embed></a></td>

EOM


***NOTES***

- The edits I did centered the LOGO (not the banner - you can turn the overall banner off)
- In order to configure the size to eliminate the sides or top WHITE portions of your movie, play with the height and width.
- Finally, if you adjust the height to oversize of the original logo_L, logo_M and logo_R (as in if you want to pull it out like to 90% of total, you will need to resize those images physically to adjust to your new height and re-upload them.

Cool, thanks its getting closer. As of Now I have it up but its not as large or Center like the one you put on your test site. Is it because I didnt have a Frest copy of overall_header.tpl? How would I get one of those. I just took this copy from the default template figuring it was the same. Or is there a spot i can play more with the size and Centering. You may of said that Im just not sure what you ment?

I updated to address your problem of left justification.. the following code removes a banner frame preventing the center justification in your overall_header.tpl

FIND AND DELETE

Code: Select all

<td>     </td>

also in your case, change the sizes to

Code: Select all

<td><a><embed></a></td>

**NOTE AGAIN**
resizing your header thus resizes the header background, so in your case.. download templates/dark/images/orange/header_bkg.jpg

resize it to the new 180Hx800W size (color all black if you like - or steal mine while your there) and re-upload

theres a new sample at my site link ablove.. Also, I might mention, if your using all of the dark color themes, you will need to change each corresponding background image.
