Change logo's by forum?

[Heffe2000]

Does anyone have a hack that will allow you to specify a logo to be used in place of vbulletin_logo.gif on a forum by forum basis?

I have a few clan forums hosted on my site that I'd like to give custom logos to, and need something that I could enter a custom gif file on the edit forums panel, but if I don't enter anything there, have it default to the main vbulletin_logo.gif file.

Does this sound like a difficult hack, or anybody out there want to give me a hand??

In the header find the image and replace it as a variable like:

<a href="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><img src="$mylogo" border="0" alt="$bbtitle"></a>

Now edit global.php, find:

eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");

Before that add:


if ($forumid==X)
{$mylogo='http://www.myboard/images/image1.gif';}
elseif ($forumid==Y)
{$mylogo='http://www.myboard/images/image2.gif';}
elseif ($forumid==z)
{$mylogo='http://www.myboard/images/image3.gif';}
else {$mylogo='http://www.myboard/images/image4.gif';}

This will work when visitor's clicked a forum name and browsing through it, but will not work when they visited a thread in that forum since when visiting a thread $forumid variable is not set by vbulletin..

or if its like vBulletin.gif, make a new image called vBulletin.gif and upload it in replace.

Actually, I tried the first method, and it always came up as a red X, with no text in the $mylogo variable. What I did though was set up a specific style for the boards, and forced them to be the default on those specific forums that I wanted to change (the clan members wanted to change colors & other stuff too, just was easier). I'd still like to get something along the lines of the first mod above working though.

The problem you encountered indicates that your image URL is not correct. Please do not forget to edit image URLs accordingly. One important reminder: they are case sensitive so if your image name is "a.jpg", these will be wrong: "A.jpg", "a.JPG" etc. Needless to say dont forget to edit x,y,z..

Or the variable may need to be declared as global. The forumdisplay.php file may not be able to get to it. I had this problem when doing the users browsing this forum hack on index.php
