Adding A Full Width Image Under The Header

Permalink
Hi!

I'm pretty green at this... but... I wonder if anyone can help me add my own image as a full width bar just below the header? I'm using the standard Elemental Theme.

I might even like to add the nav bar into this image area... if that's possible.

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone may be able to offer as I just can't seem to work it out.

Thanks in advance.

Hi brisseo,

To get a better idea of what you are looking to do, I recommend replying with a screenshot or mockup of the idea.

Hi!

Thank you for your reply.

Attached you will find a mockup of what I am aiming to achieve.

I'm now using Cloneamental if that makes any difference.

Thanks again.

Most of the time inside headers use background image (not <img>)

So you even use Concrete5 inline styles for some area (add bg image + cover + padding-top/bottom)

Basic CSS like this:

If you need more "elegant" way - i like the idea of this video:

By attribute its also an easy option

Is this vaguely the sort of thing?

This is my wife's work-in-progress. The banner image is done using a rough-as-guts add-on block of which I'm too ashamed to submit to the c5 PRB.

Hi,

I normally do this by creating a page attribute to upload the image and then in my header.php file, I grab that image and display it where I want.

I have attached my header.php file for you to see what I do. Be sure to give the attribute a handle of header_banner_image and set it to image.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Dex
