In a previous tutorial, we showed you how to create a Joomla 3.0 banner using an image<\/a>. Not all banners are images however, some banners may be flash banners (.swf files) for example. To show a flash banner, you will need to enter HTML code when creating the banner (instead of defining an image as the banner).<\/p>\n

Steps for using HTML as a banner in Joomla 3.0<\/h2>\n

In the following steps we’ll show you how to create a banner using HTML instead of an image. If your banner is not an image, most likely it will be a flash banner, but it could be any HTML that you’d like. These steps assume that you already have the HTML ready that you want to use.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into your Joomla 3.0 admin dashboard<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. In the top menu, click Components<\/strong> and then click Banners<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Click New<\/strong> in the top left of the page<\/li>\n
  4. Enter the details of your new banner and then click Save<\/strong> in the top left of the page. These are the details we entered:
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Name<\/th>\nEnter a name for your banner. This name will not appear on your website, but will instead show in your Joomla dashboard, and help you manage this particular banner.<\/p>\n

    We entered My Flash Banner<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Category<\/th>\nSelect a category for the banner. If you plan to use many banners on your site, you may find it to be a good idea to create categories to help organize your banners.<\/p>\n

    We haven’t created an categories yet, so we left this option as\u00a0Uncategorized<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Type<\/th>\nSelect Custom<\/strong> as the banner type.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Custom Code<\/th>\nAfter setting Custom<\/em> as the banner Type<\/em>, you will see a Custom Code <\/strong>textbox appear. This is where you will need to enter the HTML that is required for your banner. We entered the following code:<\/p>\n
    <div style=\"width:150px;height:100px;\">\n   <object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"https:\/\/domain.com\/banner.swf\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\">\n      <param name=\"movie\" value=\"https:\/\/domain.com\/banner.swf\">\n      <param name=\"wmode\" value=\"opaque\"> <param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"direct_link=true\">\n      <embed src=\"https:\/\/domain.com\/banner.swf\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" wmode=\"opaque\" flashvars=\"direct_link=true\" \/>\n   <\/object>\n<\/div><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
    That’s all there is to it! After you’ve created a banner module<\/a> to show this banner, your flash \/ HTML banner will now show on your Joomla 3.0 website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
