installing and configuring Flexheader3
Flexheader3 Module Installation is very easy, because it uses the Joomla! Extension Installer.
- Download the module installation file from this site to a local directory
- Login as an administrator into your Joomla! Backend
- in the topmenu navigate to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall
- In the extension manager use "Upload Package File" -> "Browse" and then the "Upload File & Install" button
- Got to the module manager and click on "Flexheader3"
- enable the module
- choose a module position
- save the module options
- a help window will appear on the frontpage that shows you the filename for use with flexheader3
- name your picture as shown in the help window

thanks
Thank you so much, I have it working, its great. Though I was thinking of positioning it in the header, but in the drop down menu in Joomla admistration, there is no position as header. Can it be posible to position it in the header where the logo is or far right?
Thanks again

If you do not have a position that fits your needs, a module position for flexheader can be added to your template.
There is a video in german language there:
andrehotzler.de/.../46-hinzufuegen-einer-modulposition-fuer-flexheader-zu-einem-joomla-template.html
I can also do this for a small fee.
How do I link different picture to different menu?
Thanks
I wanted to follow up on this because I don't quite understand how to link the images to menu entries. For example my first menu item shows me this:
Name of your header-image for this site: itemid58-id35
Name of your header-image for the menu entry: itemid58
Name of your header-image for the parent menu item (if applicable): parent0
Name of your header-image for the current category; category35
Name of your header-image for the current section: no-section
Name of your header-image for the current component: com_content
I changed the image name to itemid58.jpg, however it does not change from the default image.
Thank you.

Great module, but I have a problem in IE. My flash is not clickable (When I click on my flash it doesn't open any new page)...In Firefox is OK...Where is the mistake?
Thanks
I never tested the hyperlinked header function with flash, because i do not use flash for my sites.
www.probasite.info
the big flash is the one which should send me when I click it on a specified page...on Firefox it works...
Use the w3c validator to fix the xhtml und css errors first.
I tried to remove the errors from my site.
Just 25 are remaining (I think).....many of them are related to the flash banner I installed with Flexheader, but I have no idea how ro remove them.
If you have any clue about this, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
PS: My flash header is still not clickable in IE.
I wonder if you or anyone else reading this page has used FlexHeader3 with the Artisteer design program (for Joomla)? I am trying to implement FlexHeader 3 on a Artisteer Joomla site, and can get the Module to show in many places, but not in the header image? Any ideas?
I have documented this in german, but in english at the moment.
If you have Artisteer and no css/html knowledge, it may be better you let a professional template programmer let this do it for you.

Thanks, works!
When I use com_search as you suggested it will work, but I don't have headers per category anymore.
What should I do if I want a header in the result page and also have a different header per category?
I was using a module mod_flexheader3 for every category each with a self chosen (default) image name.
Now I see and understand what your module does, especially with the help function turned on.
Thanks a lot for this very nice and free module, it works perfectly!
i have:
www.test2.ru/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=2&Itemid=29
how i must right write a file name ?
and for product :
www.test2.ru/.../
Its worked !
The small picture should align left, but start at bit in, over the background picture. Have tried to align leftin the editor, and change the modulposition for the baggrundpicture, but i didnt help.
inner_wrapper has 20px left padding and so the flexheader module cannot align left at 0px.
You can make this easier.
Just enable the load css option and place a file:
header-default.css there
(in your case you have to reset the parameter default file name to header-default)
In this file write:
#inner_wrapper {
background-image: path to image;
}
as flexheader picture use a small image and change the dimensions to 0px 0px.
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=175
I do have an image named itemid175.jpg but it is not being displayed -
thank you for your help

i will not help there, because i dont like bad work.
try to get an itemid.
Itemids are NOT optional, because joomla creates its SEO urls from the alias, associated with the itemdid of the menu entry.
Without itemid: Joomla doesnt know, where you are on the website.
Also modules belongs to itemids.
i personally do not know, why this harmful option is included in JCE. In my opinion: Use of JCE is a sign of now enough knowledge.
1) downloaded mod_flexheader3
2) placed it in the modules folder of joomla
3) enabled the module in the modules manager and properly selected the position.
4) now i'm wondering, were will i find the frontpage?
sorry if i'm super stupid with this one.
