Adding Header Banners

The files representing header banners must be placed into the following location:

[Template path]/Themes/[Colour scheme name]/Headers/Header[Number]

To provide end users with an opportunity to change a template's banner through the Sitebuilder Wizard interface, do the following:

1. Create as many sub-directories of the Headers directory as the number of different header banners to be displayed in Wizard.
2. Copy header banners to the created directories (one banner per directory). The images must share the same name (say, banner_image.gif).
3. Append the master.page file with the following HTML code of the banner image:

   <img src="$Theme$/images/banner_image.gif">

4. Save and close the master.page file.

After the template is imported into Sitebuilder, the alternative header images will be available for selection at the Design step of the Wizard. To make sure of this, you can preview the template using the Preview tool.

In Sitebuilder for Linux/Unix, end users are enabled to upload their own banner images through the Sitebuilder interface only if the [Template path]/Themes/[Colour scheme name]/Headers/Header[Number]directory has only one image.

In Sitebuider for Windows, to give users access to uploading their own banner images, edit the info.xml file. The detachableHeader attribute of the themes element should contain the image name. To learn more about info.xml, refer to the Specifying General Information About Template section.

If you edit source code of existing template that contains different banners, you can ignore the 3 and 4 steps of the above guidelines and simply copy custom images into the corresponding directories.
