Byrne Reese has some really great plugins. The latest being Custom Header. The plugin is built for specific themes, and not ready for others. After asking, Byrne showed me how to add support for Customer Header to Tristan Blue, which is the Community Blog/Community Forum template set in MT Pro.
It should be noted that Tristan Blue really does not have a spot for a custom header, but I have added one during my modifications of the Tristan Blue shell.
Later when I have time, I will write a how-to on adding support to Tristan Blue (or any other template set for that matter), but Byrne's comments explain how it is done, and those instructions worked.
Some quick tips: use spaces, not tabs when editing the config.yaml file. Avoid images taller than 600 px, I was unable to use the Crop button. I also do not recommend using an mt:if statement around the CSS. This is mine:
#header-ch {
background-image: url('<mt:CustomHeaderAsset><mt:AssetURL></mt:CustomHeaderAsset>');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin:0px;
height: 70px;
padding-left:10px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}
The reason is simple: if no banner is selected, I still want the DIV to have a background color.
