Not sure what you mean... can you elaborate? If your asking if you can display a block in the top (commonly refered to as header) portion of the page, you can, by editing your theme.html file and determining a type of block to display there. You may also need some conditional logic (if statements to check and see if the block should be displayed).

I'm not sure what you mean by 'customer block' either.. it will be easier to get help if you can be more specific.

Thanks Tripmon.

Yes, that's what I mean. Here is some details of what I want to do:

In here, Hervet has showed us how to display random pictures in a block. I did that successfully and now I want to put it (block of random pictures) in the header portion of the page. But I don't know how to do it.

Since I can do it in a customer block by adding all the php code in there, so I figured that if I can somehow put the block in the header, then I should be able to add random pictures to the header (Creating a flash effect in the header)

Hope my logic is right here :)

Thanks.

No need to do that.

Just use this script

Put a folder in your theme's folder, with that script and the images you want to have appear.

Then put in a link in theme.html to the script:
<img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>/images/rotate.php">

Will show a random pic with each refresh.

Bassman's ideas are good. Also with the module Boox from Hervet you can insert "blocks"/sections in a theme with an admin backend interface which from you'll be able to handle content displayed.

Bassman,
Thank you! That give me a lot of ideas. But it changes image after refresh, not exactly what we wanted. But I really like the idea! Thanks.

Snow77,
Thank you! I think that might be my solution. Let me try the module.
