i've been searching the forums and cannot find the answer;

how can i make the banner module load in the header.tpl file so i can have the banner load on every page?
currently it only allows banners on the left,right, bottom and within the content box.

I went to System -> Design -> Layouts and created a "Header" Layout, but how do you use it?

no one? i thought this would be a big deal as it seems limited in locations for banners.

header is separate to the main page section

the main page section only can be affected by the layouts you create.

To place a banner in the header section, you will need to manually alter the template to put it there.

manually edit what? i tried looking around in the source files and there is no code to indicate a banner position, its injected during loading. would be nice to simply have instead of having to mess with controller files?

or perhaps create a custom "layout" and user that layout code to load a banner position?

manually edit catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl

there is no easy way to get the banners from the banners module in to the header other than manually coding the banner in the header template

Manually? Yes will work also, but why not create a new position for banners and call it "header"
Contact Fido-X and I am sure he can code that for you.
Good luck
