edit: Nice forum. When you get more comfortable with vbulletin, it might be fun to change the banner based on what 'city' you are in. Find an image of the skyline for each city and incorporate that. Just a thought.

I found:

So, if I change it to:

That should work? I'll give it a go!

Yeah, I've thought about embedding a graphic that changes by city, in the top right area of the Header, but I don't have a clue as to how to even start on that...

I imagine a directory of cities containing the images. Then code it to alter the image according to the city chosen. The coding is where I'm lost...as you know!

I'll keep leaning. Once again, thanks!


EDIT: I just tried it and it worked perfectly! You've done it again! (Now tell me how to do those graphics....hehe)

If you had a directory, say /images/banners and in it you had things like banner1.png and banner2.png for forumid 1 and forumid2, you could do something like:

<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] == 1">
<img src="/images/banners/forum1.png" alt="$foruminfo[title_clean]" width="x" height="y">
</if>
<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] == 2">
<img src="/images/banners/forum2.png" alt="$foruminfo[title_clean]" width="x" height="y">
</if>

Something like that in the template for the banner. You can play with that by making a new style that is not pickable by users. You as an admin can see the new style by clicking on the style name in the Style Manager. It's just something to play with when you feel like it. (You could also do it as a plugin, but the template edit is the easiest.)

That is so cool! Thanks, I look forward to messing around with that! How did you learn all of that? I feel like such a rookie again...
