How do I insert a "talking head" spokesperson into my store home page

[Jimneville]

I would like to insert a video spokesperson into my 1.5.6.0 default theme webstore homepage at http://freedomsurvivalgear.com  The code I need to insert is this:

 

<script id="my_vsp" src="http://code.tweople.com/802"></script>

 

I have tried placing it in several locations in header.tpl and footer.tpl but could not get it to work. 

 

Any ideas on where I should insert it?

 

Thanks,

Correction, PS version is 1.5.6.0

Try putting it between literal tags

 

{literal}<script id="my_vsp" src="http://code.tweople.com/802"></script>{/literal}

But are you sure this is all you need? I think there must be more code needed no?

Thanks Bill, that got it working once I put in in the footer.tpl . Problem now is that it plays everytime one goes to another page, when I really want it to play only once for the home page only. I'm checking with the video supplier to see if that can be controlled via their settings.

Take a look at this module, it will let you add a script and assign it to the home page footer only. It is free.

Thanks Bill, Since I already had a random HTML box on my home page, I put the code in there and all now works perfectly.
