Hi, can anyone give me a clue on how to get the rotating image player in a wordpress theme.
I asked this question on wordpress fora but it stayed unanswered (not wp related)
For instance, this theme: http://www.ndesign-studio.com/resources/wp-themes/glossyblue/
Here is a guy who did it but I don't know how: posthuma.nu.
Please advice

@Rob - you should try help someone using a CMSystem and too unexperienced to find/use the wizard or read the tutorials...
how do you imagine the abler people have gained their knowledge? - hint: a minimum of effort is a really good starting point...
these players by JeroenW are really easy to use, when one has just some knowledge of the very basics of web page making.
but increasingly people are using CMSystems without any inkling of what they are doing - and demanding help for cutting and pasting - while in to much of a hurry to read the f...... manual -
the vast majority of questions in this very forum are already answered in the thread right next to the new posting
all the while half wits drip poisonous comments without even doing the little effort of posting any pointers them selves...
@Solange - check the third party plugins page also - http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Third_Party_Plugins

The code of Jeroens player is not the problem, the wizzard makes it real easy.
But how to install it in an Wordpress theme.
Background images are often placed in the css.
You can not place the flashcode in an css file.
So how do I get the theme css to accept the flash code?

Go to a comicforum if you think you're so funny.
Just because I ask for help you have no right to talk in that tone of voice.
And who is "we". Are you the forum spokesman?
Talk for yourself. You're not funny but arrogant.
Problem solved by the way. I will post it later here.

This isn't your forum, so you have no right to tell anyone what they can or cannot post here.

Depending of the WP Theme, to include the flash animation involve a change some file, usually header.php.
Look at http://triatlon.com.uy/gadgetgirl/ , this a theme I modified to include a the flash rotator for a client.

As Fernando said:
You should open up the header.php file not using a document editor, but something such as notepad.
find the following lines: (I'm using the default theme as example)
<div id="header">
<div id="headerimg">
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
The part that says 'a href' is where the images will be placed. So, you must go to the style.css file and search for the headerimg field, and erase the line where may say something like:
background: url(img/header.jpg);
Now that you found the place to put the image, and removed the default image, you have to place the code that shows the image, inside the headerimg div, so it is placed correctly
Then it's just try and error for a while till you get it.
Hope it works.

You can get the necessary code by using the wizard at:
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard
Once you have that code, you'll need read up on tutorials regarding themes in Wordpress. If you want it in the header, you'll most likely be placing it in the head or header.php file of your wordpress theme folder. It's functionally the same (once you have the code to cut-and-paste) as inserting an image file.
I hope that helps as a starting point.
