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!

2.3.0, and yeah, I did -- but I can certainly try again.

[assassingod]

It worked fine on my 2.3.0, try again and tell me what happens

[jwoodall.2]

Well, as one of the hacks I've recently installed (only got 3 simple ones)... broke my admin functions (move/copy/lock, etc...)

And Steve recommended I back out the hacks, then reupload the php files if that didnt work.

Now my forum's down completely.

So, looks like I'm gonna have to wait on this one.

Yeah the whole thing about when you move a thread using the prefix "Moved:" it goes up by the stickies.

Did you ever find a fix for the seperate to work in forums without sticky threads, but with announcements?

[assassingod]

Not yet, but its not hard at all. I'll start a fix for it later.

[assassingod]

I've fixed why if there is no sticky, announcements don't show. So that is sorted.

I have to sort out why Moved threads appear above the line.

I will post the fix in a minute
