Well... i get errors like somethings wrong with index.template.php...

Well its just cause i don't know how to insert

Code Select Expand

<table align="center">
  <tr>
    <td><embed src="path to swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="350"></embed>
    </object></td>
  </tr>
</table>
in index.template.php the way it should work....:/
can you help me out?

have you tried using the Global Headers and Footers mod and just adding this

Code Select Expand

<div style="text-align: center;"><embed src="path to swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="350"></embed></div>

to it?

hmmm nice addon...ill use it...but cant just html code be inserted into php file?

[hadesflames]

if you added it outside of an echo, it will not work. so If it's outside of an echo it should look like this:

Code Select Expand

echo '<table align="center">
  <tr>
    <td><embed src="path to swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="350"></embed>
    </object></td>
  </tr>
</table>';

I recommended the global headers and footers mod because it makes it easier to add/remove code to your headers and footers than having to manually edit the template files.

edit: I just noticed you have a closing </object> tag, but no opening <object> tag. Perhaps that might be causing some problems?

Thanks

This addon is really great and its sure that ill use it...but its not doing exactly what i wanted to do...look at picture...this is some swf file i found online for test...its not really right below the nav bar how i want it to be...:/
I suposed something like this thats why i wanted to insert a piece of code...

[hadesflames]

In that case try inserting the following:

Code Select Expand

echo '<div style="text-align: center;"><embed src="path to swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="350"></embed></div>';

I don't see the need to use a table if when you can use div to align it to the center. Make sure you don't place that code inside a current echo. If you want to place it in an echo then remove the echo ' and '; parts

Here is my index.template.php can you please tell me in what line to insert the code you gave me...?

[hadesflames]

search for:

Code Select Expand

<div class="cat-alt-bot"></div>
',theme_linktree(),'

should be lines 272 - 273

replace with:

Code Select Expand

<div class="cat-alt-bot"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:XXpx; height:XXpx;" data="Path_to_Swf" /></div>
',theme_linktree(),'

make sure to change the path and the width + height to appropriate settings.
