Hi,
Can you suggest an extension that can rotate photos in from a file, into the header region on a timed schedule? I'm using ja_purity template and it can rotate 3 headers in on each reload, but I just like to make one header with photos rotated in while the pages has already loaded. I hope I'm explaining this clear enough?
Thank you.

Hi,

While there are many extensions that can do this (just about any slideshow module on the JED), they are not easy to implement like your current header if you haven't mastered HTML and CSS.

This is because the image rotator in your current template was built right into the template, while slideshow modules can only be published to module positions.

Doing what you want would involve first removing the php, js, and html that produces the current header, then putting a module position in its place. You would then have to write some tricky CSS to make your logo appear over the slideshow.

I normally use this for slideshows: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/photos-a-images/images-slideshow/2078

Hope that helps,
Mark
