[Yonatan]

Hay!
That mod make possible the option to set different background to different forum! - (About ID's of furoms)


Look on example:

Things to do:
1) Edit tampletes.
2)Make Folder on Server.

1)

Open: FORUMDISPLAY
Find:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">

Replace with:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px" background="images/backgrounds/$forumid.jpg>


3)

Go with FTP to folder:
" "/images/

Now, make folder with name:
"backgrounds"

End :)


Now.. you just need to upload a images with ForumId to folder:
" "/images/backgrounds/

Example to name of image:

12.jpg

This is possible by using different styles. Vbulletin allows different forums to use different styles.

Nice, much better then 30 styles for 30 forums :D

This is really really clever, I approve.

[EDIT]

What if the image doesnt exist, anyway for selective groups?

Did you mean what happen if the image doesnt exist?!

Anyway, if the image doesnt exist. instead of the custom background you will see white background.

Interesting idea. I tried to use it with the "Transparencity+" skin, and couldn't get any of the forum images to appear. Should this template edit work with all skins? I wonder if there's a missing quote character in your edit?

Which style are you running? I wonder if it's style-related.

Question: I got...
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
Twice in my FORUMDISPLAY template.

I tried it on the first one, then the second one, then both... none of those options worked.
First one is under...
<if condition="$show['forumslist']">
<!-- sub-forum list -->
Second one is under...
<!-- / controls above thread list -->

I made the backgrounds folder in 3 different places, none worked.
Put it in /images, /forums/images, /forums/images/dsp... nothing worked. (dsp is the name of my current style).
I named my file 61 because the forum i want it on is forumID 61.
It is a jpg, so the file is 61.jpg.

Any help?

[rob01]

[n95gps]

[myown]

quite interesting, will be installing on my site soon.

[n95gps]

any luck in helping me out here please

I now understand that this mod purports to place specific images inside the top-most forum details box, which itself is usually pretty narrow. Nice idea if it could work across styles. I was expecting a whole background image though.

[n95gps]

i was hoping for something like this image

Can someone make simular mod that uses diferent background colors for diferent forum category ID's so that we have whole category in same color?

in.ex. 1.st category - green bg
2.nd category - red bg
etc.
