How to add images to the divider

(Author bitg)

$announcement
<tr valign="top">
 <td colspan="10"><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>

Just change the "clear.gif" reference to the image you want to use. You must change the height and width settings to the height and width of the new image though. If you do not know what that is, just remove it. You would then use a line simular to the following:

<img src="{imagesfolder}/InsertYourFileNameHere.gif" alt="">

How to change the divider to a random image

(Author bitg)

If you want to know how to do this, follow these instructions.

[high]Note:[/high] Do this only after you have successfully installed this hack.

Make a directory under your {imagesfolder} directory called "divider" or whatever you want to call it and put all your images that you wish to pull from in there. Name them "1.gif", "2.gif", etc...

Edit your "phpinclude" template and add the following to the bottom of it:

PHP Code:

$dividerimagenumber=rand(1,6);
$dividerimage="/divider/$dividerimagenumber.gif"; 


[high]Note:[/high] Modify the "divider" to be the name of the directory you created under {imagesfolder}.

[high]Note:[/high] Change the (1,6) to 1,the number of images in your "divider" directory). If you 25 images in your divider directory, it would says (1,25);

Save the "phpinclude" template.

edit your "forumdisplay_sepsai" template.

Replace the default values from the hack in this template with the following:

$announcement
<tr valign="top">
 <td colspan="10" bgcolor="#000000" align="center"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$dividerimage" alt=""></td>
</tr>

[high]Note:[/high] Change the bgcolor="#000000" to any color you like. You can type in a 6-digit hex code (if you know it) or just replace the "#000000" with "black" or "red" or whatever.

If you use this hack please click the INSTALL button - thank you!

Haven't heard of this problem yet.

Are you sure you installed everything correctly?

[blakkboy]

im positive..... would you like me to post my forumdisplay.php and the edited template file???

[assassingod]

No, you can't post full vB files.

What other hacks have you installed that required editing forumdisplay.php?

Nope. But IIRC I did try to fix it but never saw any obvious way to stop it. Sorry

I can't see how any of those hacks will effect mine.

Try uninstalling the hack, then reinstalling it
