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.

Good to hear

[PurpleCow]

I would like to install this hack for my forums. However, i'd to hear about the following :

1. Is the bug with Moved threads fixed ?
2. In the divider space, can i have an standard banner 468x60 size. well, it will be the js invocation code from phpadsnew. Will that work ??
3. Does this conflict with Logician's Hack- Dynamic announcements...meaning, will they work fine seperately ??

Thanks much
Cheers

[Opie]

no he can't fix the moved thread issue..

[PurpleCow]

Opie - He might just take some time.
I'll wait for the bug fix though.

Thanks for any replies to my above post !

Cheers

PurpleCow:
(1)As of yet, no
(2)There is a guide for this somewhere in the thread
(3)They should both work fine together

(2)There is a guide for this somewhere in the thread

I read the whole thread, but i didn't find any mention about placing an advert ( standard banner ). I particularly would like to know, if i can place a Javascript invocation code ( phpadsnew ) ??

Thank you
