The installation of this extension is very simple. Just connect to the Typo3 Extension Repository and download «Flash Page Header» (flash_pageheader), located in the frontend plugin section.

On the screenshot below, you'll see the available options when you install the extension.

TypeNum

This is the typeNum of the XML page which will be passed to the Flash file. You only have to care about this if you already have an extension which uses the same typeNum. Otherwise, just leave the default one.

XML output

This is a comma list of the fields which will be outputted as XML. They come from the pages table. If you have, for example, added a field to that table, you can just add it here, and it will be passed to the Flash file.

Finally, on your TS template, you'll have to place to plugin in the appropriate place. For example:

page = PAGE

page.typeNum = 0

page.10 < plugin.tx_flashpageheader_pi1

The extension has a default Flash file included, so if you followed the previous steps, it should be working now. Read the administration chapter to learn how to change that default file.

Then, you can choose for each page a Flash header. To do that, just edit the desired page header.

There you can add a SWF file and / or a replacement picture, which will be used if the Flash plugin isn't available on the client's browser. If you have enabled the recursive option (see the administration chapter), all the subpages will have the same header, unless a specific one is defined.
