So i would like to configure a background image in each cell where the forumname is...but i've looked everywhere in the templates and i can't seem to find it
this is the effect i would like to reach: http://forums.ffhorizon.com , example: u have general chat forum, and i would like a background image like that...
any ideas? :nervous:

its really overly simple when you thinkg about it

{imagesfolder}/$forumid/image.ext

or you could use the varible for the forum name :)

i tried that but then the image has the length of the forum description and doesn't cover the whole cell...
this is what i adjusted:

<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" colspan="2" align="left">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
<td><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" width="9" height="0" border="0" alt=""></td>
<td background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
<br>
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont></td>
</tr></table>
</td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>$forum[replycount]</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>$forum[threadcount]</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[lastpostinfo]</smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[moderators]</smallfont></td>
</tr>

You'll have to add background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg to the other cells:

<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" colspan="2" align="left">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
<td><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" width="9" height="0" border="0" alt=""></td>
<td background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
<br>
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont></td>
</tr></table>
</td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg"><normalfont>$forum[replycount]</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg"><normalfont>$forum[threadcount]</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg"><smallfont>$forum[lastpostinfo]</smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg"><smallfont>$forum[moderators]</smallfont></td>
</tr>

You're mistaking me there...I only want it to show up in the forum name with forum description cell, not the other cells...and to cover the entire cell :s

I think you might need to change the width of the image

Not sure what else to do then. Unless you try changing the width of the cell

If you have the hack that changes the table color on mouseover, will this still work?

The code is a bit diff, and I been playing, but no luck...
