Add a banner image to each forum (vb3.5)

/* -----------------8/11/2005-----------------
[HowTo] Add a banner option image w/ Link or HTML paste to each forum V.1.6
Tested on vBulletin: 3.5.0 RC2

Zachariah - http://www.gzhq.net

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.



Changelog:
------------
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
Added HTML option (tested w/ Java and Iframe from phpadsnew output)
Added 3.x to VB 3.5 upgrade XML file.

are you sure , that you installed the right version of the xml?
in your case it is the banner_image.xml to import.

Yep. That's what I installed. I am going to try removing it today and doing it again and see what happens.

I have the interface in the admincp for all the forums, but I get the error when I try to add the code to the two template files.

Just looking @ your choice of words "two template files" - You are editing in the template system, not forumdisplay.php and showtread.php right ?

AdminCP => Styles & Templates => Style Manager => choose the style

*** Edit 2 Template(s) : FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD

Aw Jeez. I didn't realize that. I am so use to stuff like PostNuke where I am use to having to drop stuff into the file itself...

Lemme give that a shot.

If you uninstall/deactivate do you still have the same error ? (trying to root out if the DB needs fixed or the hack is the cause of the problem.)

[murrtex]
