This is an update of my previous hack:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94119

DEMO
- banner for an on-line game clan/guild.

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

Changelog:
------------
1.7
- str_replace used to place hack at $navbar in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD.
- choice to show in thread per forum.
- Place $add_banner in template if str_replace fails to work.
- add_banner template added

I just installed it in 3.6.8. Everything seems to be working fine. :up:

I do have one question though...
I am not experienced in coding at all... and my programming knowledge is ZILCH, so excuse my ignorance on this.

I've spent a better part of a couple days searching for a way to relocate the banner to a different part of the forum page. I did read where it is only a matter of placing the code in my navbar wherever I see fit... but I just don't know how to do that correctly without having it pretty much "spelled out" like I've seen with some other code listed here (add "this" below "this line", etc...)

As in... exactly what block of code do I need to retrieve after the install, and where exactly do I place it if I wanted to place this banner to sit directly below my main Header Banner instead of the default location set for this hack?

Thanks in advance,

~Steve

Hello Zacariah,

I want to know if this adds banner image to all the forums?

Or is it possible to say add this particular banner image to this particular forum?

Like banner1.jpg in forum id 1
Banner2.jpg in forumid 5

So that we display banners relevant to each forum.

Please do let me know. Thanks. Great work!

Thanks. I am amazed at the power of this community.

Everything I seem to think of is here somewhere!

I am also amazed at how reliable these products are. I would normally expect that there would be nasty surprises. None at all so far in 20 installs :up:
