[Solved] gif Banner not working - Oslcasswizards

[Darwazo]

Hello everyone....

Gif Banner is not working - (Oslcasswizards) ...any thoughts? ideally it should work as theme saying gif,jpeg,png will work...file looks fine to me and is attached.

As always thanks you in advance for all help

[Liath]

is your banner saved as gif or converted to jpg?

[Darwazo]

Thank you liath for your time.
I converted 3 JPEG files to GIF File and it is Gif file.

Attached gif file is working but when I uploaded - its not working.

[Liath]

because of this i asked... is the uploaded image gif or jpg? where do you uploaded it... through theme settings? manually?


you could try to upload your gif manually and change the filename in your database

[Darwazo]

Uploaded file is Gif and I did through Admin panel....Appearences/ osclasswizards/ Banner.....


I tried to figure out issue but somehow it seems file extension has changed from gif to png. (Attached screenshot)

I don't know where to upload file manually.......what to name it or activate it etc

[Liath]

upload it to ../oc-content/uploads/homeimage.gif and change filename in phpmyadmin from png to gif


table: _t_preferences
s_section: osclasswizards_theme
s_name: logo

Thank you for detailed reply Liath .

I made those changes but still trigger is not happening on homepage. I tried even after cleaning cache.

Inspect of banner is still showing up http://localhost............/oc-content/uploads/homeimage.png  ( File extension has not changed here in source code ) ....

[Liath]

sorry, wrong location...


s_name should be homeimage

[Darwazo]

Thank You very much Liath for help out !!! Its working on localhost !! 
I did change logo to gif as well ...n i assume I can put logo as well as gif and that will be working ......

Thank you again !!

Hi Liath !! bugging you again......

I feel...there is one challenge attached to this method, which is I will not be able to upload "BANNER FROM ADMIN PANEL". I will always replace homeimage.gif with new homeimage.gif.

If I upload from admin panel , phpmyadmin  homeimage extension comes back to PNG extension (auto traigger because of upload).......any permanent solution? Admin panel suggest we can upload  all 3 extension (gif,png,jpeg).

Thanks

[Liath]

no i'm sorry, it seems there are no permanent solutions without modyfying core files of osclass

[Darwazo]

Its okay Liath  !! ill try to manage within your help ...
Thanks alot & have a great day.
