The rotating flash banner is designed to highlight important announcements, recent or upcoming events, new website features or other information valuable to your hub community. The banner is commonly placed as a central feature on a hub's homepage.

You can change the dynamic content of the banner through administrative interface. To do so:

First login to the administrative back-end.

Once logged in, find "Components" in the menu bar located toward the top of the page. You should be presented with a drop-down menu containing items such as "Module Manager", "Plugin Manager", etc.

Choose "XFlash" at the bottom of the list.

You will be presented with a form to fill in titles, subtitles, brief descriptions, images and label/ URL to a page with additional information for each slide. To ensure best possible display, the maximum number of slides allowed is limited to 9. You have an option of displaying text as dynamic Flash text fields, by filling in titles etc.,  or you can make text part of the background image. Integrating text as part of the background image gives you the flexibility to move text around within the standard 600x230 px space. To design your images, you can use a Photoshop template that we can provide you with.
