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!

How so Hostc? In vB3 it can be done via template edits, not vB2 though.

Please for the love of god answer my question above.

[ImportPassion]

anything yet?

[assassingod]

My sincere apologies for not sorting out any problems that any of you have using this. I will try to sort them out soon.

[albibak]

Thank for this hack

[Nebby]

this only appears to work on forums with the "more" links at the bottom =/

[assassingod]

What do you mean?

[Akex]

Great hack, it's seems it's working for me

[assassingod]

Thanks - Glad to hear it.

Ack, for some reason I dont have the first bit of code you recommend adding below:

if ($thread[sticky] == 1) {
$thread[typeprefix]=$stickythreadprefix.$thread[typeprefix];
}

What's my next step?

Closest thing I have is:

if ($stickyids != '') {
$threadids .= $stickyids;

[assassingod]

What vB are you using? Have you tried search for 1 line in the code?
