DIV Content (for Display mode=DIV Area with background image)

Here you can enter text or html code as content for your DIV.

Flexheader3If you want to overlay your logo over your header-images, just type in: <img src="/path_to_logo"> and use CSS to configure the position.

Output of IMG Alternative Text (XHTML ALT)

In XHTML an image needs an ALT Attribute. Browsers that cannot display images displays this text instead of displaying the image. Some browsers also displays this text as a tooltip. You can leave this empty without breaking XHTML compatibility.

Choose one of the following parameters:

• blank: outputs alt=""
• Joomla!-Pagetitle: Uses the title of the current page, for example "contact"
• own text: Uses your own text, see the following parameter

own IMG Alternative Text (XHTML ALT)

Type your own text for the img ALT Attribute there.

Hyperlinked header

Adds a hyperlink arround the image.

Hyperlink Target

The destination of the hyperlink

JoomFish Support

If you turn JoomFishSupport on, Flexheader3 adds the language to the filename, So you are able to show different header-images depending on the current language.

If you do not need separate images for every language on your Joomfish equiped site: use the "No" Setting.

VirtueMart Support

adds virtuemart article id to the filename to work with virtuemart articles

Load a css file

loads a css file, where you can add css code to style the specific site in joomla. no need for seperate templates anymore. Just name your css file the same way as you would name the image. There is no need to have a image with the same filename as the css, you can also use this function with the default image.

Position of Debug information

Here you can specify where the "Show Help information on Frontpage" appears.

Debug Background Color

Here you can specify the color of the "Show Help information on Frontpage" window.

f you you debug more than one Flexheader3 module at the same time it is helpful to use separate positions and colors for each help information window.

Debug Opacity

Sometimes it is necessary to see the contents behind the "Show Help information on Frontpage window", so you can use that option to configure the opacity.

Module Class Suffix

This parameter adds an CSS class to the module container. This is handled by joomla and depends on the module chrome style.

Flexheader3 CSS Class

This CSS class is added to the Flexheader3 Objekt -> IMG, DIV... itself. You probably need this for special CSS styling issues.

Caching

You should turn module caching off, because flexheader3 cannot change images while cached.
