[3.2][3.3][RC] Cosmos Banner

Post by Administrator »

Extension Name: Cosmos Banner Image Image
Author: HiFiKabin


Extension Description: A combination of my Header banner, Moon Phases and Sun Spots extension that overlay the banner with either or both of the Sun and Moon image. The sun/moon images are shown on all screen sizes although reduced in size at screens of 900px and 600px. Clicking on the sun or moon takes you to their respective sites.

As the Sun and Moon images rely on Javascript they are hidden if the user has JS disabled.

You can hide the existing header background colour, radius the corners of the banner, as well as set its maximum size. The search (if enabled) can be placed on the header (top left/top right/bottom left/bottom right) moved to the NavBar or hidden.

You can have a separate banner for mobile devices (<700px) if you wish

The banner is linked to the url that the site_logo is linked to

Notes:
  • NOTE If you are upgrading from my Moon Banner extension, please Disable and Delete its data and files before installing Cosmos banner.
  • The banner image must be a standard image extension eg .jpg .gif .png etc
  • If you host the image on your own server, place it in the images directory in the form root. To ensure it will appear on all pages, please still enter the full URL eg http://mysite.com/images/banner.jpg
  • You can use the images I have on my demo by seeing This Post
  • By setting the maximum width you can widen a small banner but it may distort of become pixilated.
  • The Banner Image is ALWAYS show at full width when using Internet Explorer
  • The image of the Sun Spots is © NASA/SDO and used with permission. It is cached in your browser for one hour before being refreshed.
  • The image of the moon is © https://www.calendrier-lunaire.net and used with permission.It is cached in your browser for one day before being refreshed.
  • This extension is best viewed in Firefox and Chrome. When viewed in IE or Edge (and some other browsers) there is a black box surrounding the SunSpot image. This is purely cosmetic and has no effect on the SunSpot image it self.
  • Compatible with my Google Search Extension in the NavBar and Index positions. Placing it in the Header upsets the layout and is removed from the display although the switch will still exist in the ACP.
  • Automatic RLT switching

  • Download the the attached zip and unzip it.
  • Disable Cosmos Banner in the ACP
  • Upload the folders images and ext to your boards root overwriting one file and enable it in the ACP
The image url setting on the configuration page will no longer have any effect. To reverse this just upload the current Cosmos Banner Extension files.
