That should not be a problem to add on.

Say max 5 images ? each as a variable.

IE:
$image1 w/ $link1
$image2 w/ $link2
$image3 w/ $link3
$image4 w/ $link4
$image5 w/ $link5

Then place the <if> </if> statments where you wish. ?

We are talking static images. Not rotation ? Give me a little info.

I mean like 1 on either side of this image so there were 3 or 4 or 5 like you said not to sure wut you mean static images i dont know ++++ about hacks just opened my board 3 months ago as a spoof and now I got over 5000 members so im tryin to reecoop some right now I had my friend add the image thru the header template so would i remove that before installing this hack or would it put it below or above it.

If you are willing to do this then i'll def wait till its updated cause I think it would be awesome with easy access.

edit:::::: sorry wrong pic

This hack allows you to place an image with/without a link for each forum you create. (Possible different image w/ different link per forum) There is a bit of code you place in a template to make the image appear where you want it to.

The EX:

With some more hacking I could make it were there are 5 different images w/ links you can place per forum.
There would be 5 bit of code for the 5 images you want to show up when a forum loads.

I've gotten now down to the Add these phrases portion. I'm assuming these would go in the the Replacement Variable manager but I'm not sure. Where exactly do I do that?

Sorry for being difficult, I'm making sure I do it properly. I'm all about helpin create a better detailed install for you, so some not as advanced person as me can do it simply without having to bug everyone to do it. So far it's been pretty simple, I just completely forgot about using myphpadmin, and did the query through vbulletin. After that the only hang up has been where to add the phrases.

I was thinkin about somethin earlier but I really suck with php right now... first was it would be cool if you could do a rotating banner (with link) and make it so it's always under the nav bar, or above the footer.

Admincp -> Languages & Phrases -> Phrase Manager -> Add New Phrase

All Phrases are "global"
