Different header image for each forum?

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

Branding individual forums.......

How I make it so each forum has its own logo?(ie: a Different header image for each forum)

is that even possible?

so...
1. forumhome has main logo.
2. and say, top level/sub forum called "Games" (for example) has a complete differnt logo?


along the same lines... is there a way to give each forum its own, more distinctive, url? (masking, forwarding? no idea) ie. something more clean and marketable than the

www.mysite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=65

that gets put out.

The goal is give each forums its own sort of "second branding" (all under the same roof, so to speak)

1. create the image(s)
2. save image(s) will similar name; for example, header_f2.gif, header_f16.gif, header_f26.gif
3. edit template

   <img alt="your web site name" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_f$foruminfo[forumid].gif" width="190" height="32" border="0" />

now, when you go to forum 2 you will get 'header_f2.gif'
now, when you go to forum 6 you will get 'header_f6.gif'
now, when you go to forum 16 you will get 'header_f16.gif'

I put this in the "Title Image" and couldn't get it to work. Is that the wrong place to put it?

It will not work in title image. It will only works in a template.
The template you should modify is the header template.

hello, how conditional needs so that a X doesn't mark when there is not an image?

firefox this well but in msexplorer show a X of image error.

I agree with the last poster...how do you determine what the forum ID of the OVERALL forum is? I get nothing but red x's when I'm in the Main forum display.

Tagging this, thanks man.

It works...but there's a problem with it...every other place that doesn't have a forum ID returns an image not found...which sucks. You also have to create an image for every single forum ID this way with the way the code is written.

That sucks.
