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.

** Random Banner Code Java

**Please click " Install " to track updates.

Is there a way to reduce the space between the navbar and the banner?
Thanks

That is controled in the $navbar.
- there is a <br / >
- the only thing the banner hack adds is a <br /> after the banner code.

If you kill the <br /> in the $navbar it will effect the whole site.

I think:

<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

<br />

If this is the correct one your looking for place this insted the <br /> tag.

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT != 'showthread') 
{ 
<br />
}

This states when on the forumdisplay or showthread do not show the <br />. This will keep the tag there any other time.

This is a great plugin, but I will have to uninstall this since I can’t really use the menus probably...
Tks all and good job.

place your code in a:
<div>code</div>

or

<table><tr><td>code</td></tr></table>


I rem way back then Firefox did that all the time. I can't REM what the fix was or if a new ver of firefox fixed it.
