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.

If you use this hack please click the INSTALL button - thank you!

Just to help those that didn't quite understand what they had to do with that code in oder to get it to mach your vB board..

On step 2 onto installing your SEPSAI hack change the following line:



quote:
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vbimages/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1">



To:
quote:
<img src="/images/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1">



..and that should use the clear.gif image in your's forum image dir . :banana:

The vB style default colour?

sorry...still kinda new to this. here is a screenshot.

[assassingod]

Try this:

<tr valign="top" bgcolor="#hex">
 <td colspan="10"><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>

Replace 'hex' with your colour.

[lasto]

that bar in the middle that seperates em is ugly - can a space or a break not be added there instead ?

[assassingod]

You can really put anything you want. A <br> or <hr> tag.
