Description
well: I created a CCK image field, installed & enabled the Header Image, set permissions....... everything.
but the image only shows up when I'm editing the block at www.example.com/node/[node number]/edit . which tells me I have done something right, I just don't know where ;]
I've set the block to show up on every page, and it HAS a title so I'll see it no matter what. but to no avail: neither the image nor the block's title appear, except on the node edition page.
can anyone help me out, please?
regards,
Luciano

You have to set a display condition to the header image node. The conditions determine on which page the node (image) will be displayed. For example, set the nid (node id) condition to the [node number] or set the path to '*' (without the quotes) for the image to appear on every page.
For my info and further improvements:
1. Have you read the README.txt?
2. Have you read the Help page?
3. Have you read the handbook page of Header Image?

hi, am having same problem though did specify a node id condition - giving the node number (only one image ... really simple). read all the docs you mentioned several times. am on drupal 5.8. this is such a cool module, hope you can help. thanks.

For testing you can select the random fallback option. Go to Site building > Blocks and select Configure of your Header Image block. In 'Block specific settings' enable the 'Enable a random fallback'. This will make sure some image is displayed in the block and you can see if the problem lies in the block or the conditions.

thanks for quick reply.
there's no such option on my block specific settings. just an area for the 'block title' and then a table showing 'node, weight, and operation'. that's all. are you saying there should be another option appearing here? i also checked the 'operation - edit' and that just brings me back to the node edit mode which shows the header perfectly on top but nowhere else on page.
i'm on D5.8 mysql5.0.51b, php5.2.6.
thanks again!

Sorry for the confusion. This option is in 5.x-1.x-dev only.

Ok, very embarrassed here. I inadvertently put the "headerimage-5.x-1.1" folder, rather than the "headerimage" folder in my sites/all/modules directory! Ouch - that explains the booboo. Sorry! It now works fine at least for the one banner I created. Thanks for your help!

@Sutharsan, I've read the README and there was a little bit there I hadn't found on the module's project page documentation. I'm using header image with a custom type of content (which is oddly called header_image_node lol).
the embarrassing bit is that the following part WAS on the project page's documentation. shame on me.
"If the block is (partly) not visible, check the Display settings of your node type. Header image uses the teaser view or full view depending on the Teaser setting.
Administer > Content management > Content types > MyHeaderImageContentType > Display fields"
I'm not very new to Drupal, but I'm a total newbie on CCK. I already had a custom content type though, and it featured a nice imagefield on it.
so I went there, configured the content type, clicked on "display fields" and chose, for both teaser and full, link to image. voilà!
it's really this last bit that wasn't very clear for me - so I hope this helps. sorry for bothering you with such a newbie question, and thanks for the module ;]

Thanks for the feedback. I am working on the 6.x readme and help page and will backport it to 5.x afterwards.
