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.

Not yet. This will be in an update. Thanks for the "nudge" my brain forgot.

I have to say I love this mod! I have a different banner on each forum and change them weekly, and this works so much better than editing the templates all the time.

[craiovaforum]

ok, let me get this straight:
v.1. I have to delete the modification I made to forumhome and wite it directly in the header. And then add the c0de you posted
v.2. I let things as they are and add the c0de you posted in the header template

Wich one is it?

Works great, thanks.

Hm seems really nice, some questions though.

- Are any plans for any stats service for the banners?
- I see that the banners can be images, could be easy, to expand that on swf files too?

Thnx in advance

Yes swf files would be a nice touch

[QUOTE=Zachariah]You can add the template edit made to the forumhome to the header, but on forums w/o an image or anywere else will be a blank space where the image should be.

Try this:

header template:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><center><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><center><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><center>$foruminfo[bannercode]</center><br />
<else /><img src="images/banner/default.gif" border="0">
</if>
</if>
</if>
</if>

This will place a default image in place when not in a forum w/ an image.

hmm
If I add the code for a flash banner instead of the code for an image, in the code from up, it doesn't work


I have this code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><right><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></right><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><right><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></right><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><right>$foruminfo[bannercode]</right><br />
<else /><object border="0" width="600" height="100">
	<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
	<embed src="magic2.swf" width="600" height="100" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" /></object>
</if>
</if>
</if>
</if>

- Stats perhaps.
- Swf files - at the moment you can paste your HTML code in the HTML code area.
