Tested on vBulletin: 3.6.4

Zachariah - http://www.gzhq.net

This is an update of my previous hack:
*** Add a banner image to each forum (VB 3.5x)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94119

DEMO
- banner for an on-line game clan/guild.

*** Info:

• This modification will Add an image banner w/ link Or paste in your own HTML code option per forum.
• These files can be any image. (png, jpg, gif, ect).
• This will be located after the $navbar on FORMDISPLAY and SHOWTREAD.
• This images can be located on the localhost or on a remote server.

Changelog:
------------
1.7
- str_replace used to place hack at $navbar in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD.
- choice to show in thread per forum.
- Place $add_banner in template if str_replace fails to work.
- add_banner template added


1.6
Banner shows up on each thread
adds: 1 more template edit to the install
Requested by: - Ryan McBain

** Note: 1.5 - 1.6 needs only to edit SHOWTHREAD not Reinstall the XML files

1.5

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite2.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image2.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite3.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image3.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>" 
 
// keep adding items above here... 

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 
document.write(banner[increment]); 

//-->
</script>

Useage: If you need more banners edit / add another row.

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

Thank you Zach

Good idea

[aviendha]

to solve this, i made a custom html code ( a table in the box custom html code)

Anyway, an option to aply all banners in child forums could be nice ^^

[CFodder]

Great mod .

Would like to know if it's possible to add the banners to the main forum page above each of my main forums?
