Flash banner reloaded

Okay, now you're happy, you can add and use flash banners in to the standard banners component in Joomla, using this tip , but what a heck! The links you carefully set up in the background aren't showing up at all. What you can do about?

Well... you have couple of choices. For instance you can build - or hire someone to build for you - some flash banners to have the links incorporated in them. Or... you can hack in again!

Hope, you allready tried the previous hack, and that works. Now all you need to do is to open in your preferred editor the file modules/mod_banners.php and at about line 85 change this:

} else if (eregi("\.swf$", $banner->imageurl)) {

$imageurl = "$mosConfig_live_site/images/banners/".$banner->imageurl;

echo "<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0\" border=\"5\">

<param name=\"movie\" value=\"$imageurl\"><embed xsrc=\"$imageurl\" loop=\"false\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/get/flashplayer\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"></embed></object>";

}

to this (if you want the link specified in the admin to be on top of your flash banner):

} else if (eregi("\.swf$", $banner->imageurl)) {
$imageurl = "$mosConfig_live_site/images/banners/".$banner->imageurl;
$link = sefRelToAbs( 'index.php?option=com_banners&task=click&bid='. $banner->bid );
$getflashinfo = @getimagesize( $imageurl );
echo '
<a href="'.$link.'" target="_blank" style="display:block;position:absolute;width:'.$getflashinfo[0].'px;height:'.$getflashinfo[1].'px;z-index:999;"></a>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="'.$getflashinfo[0].'" height="'.$getflashinfo[1].'" style="position:relative;z-index:0;">
<param name="movie" value="'.$imageurl.'" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="'.$imageurl.'" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="'.$getflashinfo[0].'" height="'.$getflashinfo[1].'" style="position:relative;z-index:1;"></embed>
</object>';

}

And enjoy the result!
