This is a VB3.5 Ver of my previous hack:

*** Add a banner image to each forum (VB 3.0x)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61555

*** 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. This images can be located on the localhost or on a remote server.

Upload the "plug-in" and edit 2 template, It's a snap.

Ill kick around the idea and see what I can come up with.

Just curious if this is still being worked on.. would be a fantastic feature

Am I the only dunce or what!! :ermm:

I did what I thought was a perfect install but......................I do not see the banner.

It is there wanting to be seen but will not show. The outline is there with the alt phrase but no flash banner showing.

See here: http://www.bokbok.co.uk/forumdb/forumdisplay.php?f=20

What can I do to fix this? :tired:

Sorry, BOKBOK is resting! The board is unavailable at the moment while we install updates and test functionality & correct upgrade errors.

We will be back soon...better, stronger, flashier and cooler!

Q: You are posting the HTML for the flash code into the HTML textarea ? The image area blanks will do only images.

Here is a simple JAVA random banner code you can paste in the HTML area of any forum.

EX:
This will show @ random.

image1.jpg @ http://www.yoursite1.com
image2.jpg @ http://www.yoursite2.com
image3.jpg @ http://www.yoursite3.com

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- 
function banner() { 
}; 

banner = new banner(); 
number = 0; 

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