Add seasonal images to your forum
 
This is a simple plugin and header template modification which can be added to any template where it made sense if desired.

What this does is use a plugin to determine the month and day and creates a variable that may then be used in templates to decide what, if any, images should be shown. The format of the returned date is 'mmdd'. At the moment I'm using it in my header template to display Christmas and New Years stuff but it can easily be augmented with any holiday images you wish.

Installation

1. Install the attached plugin.
2. Add the following to whatever template you desire and modify it accordingly based on the location of your special images.

HTML Code:
<!-- Holiday stuff -->
<if condition="$header_date_check >= '1220' AND $header_date_check <= '1225'">
        <tr>
          <td style="vertical-align: middle; background: #FFFFFF url(/Images/blinking_lights.gif) right no-repeat" height="18"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" width="760" height="1" alt="" />
          </td>
        </tr>
</if>
<if condition="$header_date_check == '1231' OR $header_date_check == '0101'">
        <tr>
          <td style="vertical-align: middle; background: #FFFFFF url(/Images/newyear.gif) center no-repeat" height="57"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" width="760" height="1" alt="" />
          </td>
        </tr>
</if>
<!-- / Holiday stuff -->
Notes

The way the template is currently written it's designed to fit within a table (I have mine under the navbar) but it can easily be modified to work in all situations.

I know it's obvious, did you make sure the plugin was set to "active"? It should be by default but one never knows.

Would we need to change the date format to 2512, for example, in the UK as our dates are the opposite way around?

You shouldn't as the plugin converts the date using the 'md' format which should force it to the put it into how the template expects it to be. However feel free to modify the plugin format as well as the template if it makes it easier for you to work with that order.

Yep it is set to active

Well, you might try removing the conditional just to make sure the image shows correctly.
