Banners
Hello all,

Forgive me if this has been addressed in a previous thread. I've been searching posts and can't find the answer I'm looking for. I just need confirmation. One cannot put different banners in the various forums, correct? We use Links SQL and put banners in the header areas under the categories but there's no way to do that with GF is there?

Thanks so much.

Hi,

The plugins do not currently support this, but it would be a good idea.

You could use tags to do this though. In the template for your banner code you could put:

group=group<%forum_id%>

and make sure you have group1, group2, etc setup in your banner program. I'm not sure what you are using so the syntax may be wrong, but hopefully that helps. =)

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. We are not using a banner program. With Links SQL we just added the actual banner code to each header. How could we work that in Gossamer Forum?

Thanks,
Nadine

What does your banner code look like? How do you specify groups?

Hi Alex,

We are no frills so I don't know anything about groups or programming for that matter. I probably shouldn't have used the word "code". We just have a banner image in a table. You can see an example here: Parent Pals.com Message Board. Is there a way to have a different banner for each forum rather than the default banner which we've included in the header?

Thanks again.

Hi,

Ah, so you aren't using a banner program to track these, you just want a different image on the top of each forum?

Currently, we don't have different template sets per forum, but you can do:

<img src="/images/banners/header<%forum_id%>.gif">

and then you create header1.gif, header2.gif, etc. One for each forum you have.

Let me know if that helps,

Cheers,

Alex
