Display one or multiple forum banners per seperate forum

[MaDCaT75]

Hi everyone! This is my first hack so bare with me here. I didnt have anyone else try this out yet cause all my vb friends have 3.0 :rolleyes:

Description:

What this hack does is it will allow you to add a banner or a small image or whatever to your forum display. You may add only one image per forum display, however you can display a seperate image to another forum at the same time.


The instructions are attatched.

Please let me know if this hack works or not. I will try to figure out what is missing if the image does not display.

Example of the image being displayed in forumdisplay:

Sorry I thought it was a short enough hack to just plop it in my post :rolleyes:

[kaotic]

Oh, it's not that. I think it's against the rules to post instructions in a post because members without licenses will be able to see the code... or something like that.

[MaDCaT75]

Sorry, I did not know :ermm:

[assassingod]

Nice hack, similar ones have been made though.

I figured as much but I thought perhaps mine would be nice to add to the pile too :rolleyes:

Edit: I put a txt file for instructions in my first post.

Nice work! This will come in handy for my hosted forums.

Thank you kindly :)

kaotic - code and php boxes are only viewable by licensed members - has been like that for some time now :)

[MaDCaT75]

Wow I had no idea :rolleyes:

[gmarik]

Great!

[MaDCaT75]

Great!
Thanks :)

How does it differs from the Article 0.4 hack, any idea?
It's rather the same, maybe something more like yaxay has?

[MaDCaT75]

I am unfamiliar with the Article hack..... I never knew about it. I dont have time to go thru all the hacks to check to see if they are similar or exactly like mine.

Erm what has this got to do with that hack in any way?

[FleaBag]

Installed now, cheers.

I was wondering the same thing.

[Shell Geeks]

I'll give this a whirl for ya and let you know if it works ;)

[MaDCaT75]

Roger that!

[MindTrix]

Cant see why it wouldnt work ;) It's pretty straight forward :)

[gmarik]

Make, make, make it vbthree and you'll be free!

[MaDCaT75]

Make, make, make it vbthree and you'll be free!
That makes no sense :confused:

[erikajune]

How can I make it so the banner can link somewhere?

[MaDCaT75]

do you want all of the banners to link somewhere? Cuz if you put <a href="http://gotohere.com">$forumimg</a> then all of the banners would be affected... thats the only way I can think of.

[erikajune]

I want all of them to link to different destinations. I have 6 different banners in total, all linking to a different site.

Where do I add the URL code within this:
if($foruminfo[forumid] == XX)
{
$forumimg = "<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/whatever.jpg\" />";
}

i too would like to know. i like the hack cause it is simple. i just need a to link my banners.

[MaDCaT75]

well i supppose you can put a URL link in there when editing it. I'm not sure because I dont have vb 2 anymore.

[erikajune]

Could you show me what it would look like in the example above?

Thanks. :)

[MindTrix]

Try


if($foruminfo[forumid] == XX)
{
$forumimg = "<a href="www.chat2death.com"><img src=\"{imagesfolder}/whatever.jpg\" /></a>";
}



Thats a wild guess though

[erikajune]

Thanks but that doesn't work. I get an error in the forums. Is it really impossible to do this?

[erikajune]

Figured it out.

The code is:

$forumimg = "<a href=\"http://www.site.com\"><img src=\"http://www.site.com/images/picture.jpg\" /></a>";

[MaDCaT75]

Kewl :)

[MindTrix]

Ah yeah i forgot to quote out the " marks etc, ah well simple mistake ;)

[basskiller]

is there a way to link one image in "X" forum to one www.site1.com
then in forum Y have that image linked to www.site2.com

[MindTrix]

if($foruminfo[forumid] == XX)
{
$forumimg = "<a href=\"http://www.site.com\"><img src=\"http://www.site.com/images/picture.jpg\" /></a>";
}
elseif($foruminfo[forumid] == xx)
{
$forumimg = "<a href=\"http://www.site.com\"><img src=\"http://www.site.com/images/picture.jpg\" /></a>";
}


Try something like that,let me know how it goes

[basskiller]

Mindtrix. That worked perfectly!
I have a banner rotation hack, but this works great for also having a static banner /image placement

Thank you very much!
