Please help promo block resize - Not the images - But the Block itself

Hello Everyone,

Please help me if you could. I manage to upload and get my java script for the banner rotator to work in the promo block.

my images are 468 x 60 pixels

But the promo block is so big --- look urly.

I can live with the width of the promo block ----- BUT THE Height is too height

How do i fix it so the height will be for example 80 pix

Hello,  did you solve your issue with the promo block?

I myself am trying to find out how to control the timing of the images. I want the banner to switch the images a bit faster.

 i bet deano would have this answer. and i agree with you, this promo area has always irked at me at the size of it.

 Hello

I checked your site and as I see you have a number of <br /> and <p>&nbsp;</p> tags before and after the banner. There is no such code in default Dolphin's Promo Block. So, they were added with your custom banner rotator. I recommend you to check the code which was added. 

 Hello

You need to edit inc/design.inc.php file and find getPromoCode function. Then you need to find the following code in the function 

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready( function() {
        $('#indexPhoto').dolPromo(8000, 1500);
    } );
</script>

Then replace 8000 with your own number.

Note. It should be greater then 1500.

 Hello Anton,  I have 7.0.9 and didn't find the code you mentioned. This is what I found on my

inc/design.inc.php :

function getPromoImagesArray() {
	global $dir;

    $aAllowedExt = array('jpg' => 1, 'png' => 1, 'gif' => 1, 'jpeg' => 1);
	$aFiles = array();
	$rDir = opendir( $dir['imagesPromo'] );
	if( $rDir ) {
		while( $sFile = readdir( $rDir ) ) {
			if( $sFile == '.' or $sFile == '..' or !is_file( $dir['imagesPromo'] . $sFile ) )
				continue;
            $aPathInfo = pathinfo($sFile);
            $sExt = strtolower($aPathInfo['extension']);
            if (isset($aAllowedExt[$sExt])) {
                $aFiles[] = $sFile;
            }
		}
		closedir( $rDir );
	}
	shuffle( $aFiles );
    return $aFiles;

the function name is getPromoCode and its located in BxBaseIndexPageView.php in 7.0.9

 To be exact.. templates\base\scripts\BxBaseIndexPageView.php

At line 479 you will find

$('#indexPhoto').dolPromo(8000, 1500);

Thank you Prashank and Zarcon for your help.

It worked!!!
