Hi ya i have changed back to the original module so you can see if any think happens. www.brandlab.com.au/development/ all is fine in safari its just firefox...

Could I be so rude to ask you to post or email a zipped version so that I could test it on my template please.

james@brandlab.co.uk

or if you could paste up your code that you change in the php file...

Yeah, could you post it here, so that I can put upload it for other people to use it too

Changing the Random Image module into a Random Flash module is not very difficult.

- Open the file 'default.php' in the directory '/modules/mod_random_image/tmpl/'. This file contains the following line of code:

<?php echo JHTML::_('image', $image->folder.'/'.$image->name, $image->name, array('width' => $image->width, 'height' => $image->height)); ?>

- Change this into:


<embed src="/images/stories/banners/' . $image->name . ' " autostart="true" loop="true" width="420px" height="150px" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" >

- save the file.

You now have a Randon Flash module that shows a randomly selected .swf file from the directory '/images/banners/'. I know I did this very, very crude as I did not need more flexibilty than that but I'm sure that you can figure out what to change in this line of code to accommodate for the directory to be variable, perhaps also adjust size etc. Maybe even pass more variables like autostart and backgroundcolor etc. Perhaps you can do that David ?

I'm also sure that somebody with more time and insight than I can turn this into a separate module so you can keep the existing Random Image module. Anybody...?

Hope this helps, love to see what can be done with it by more experienced programmers.

Best regards,

Erik

Just bought the pro version, and cannot get it to appear on FF3.

Has anyone been successful with this?
