Individual pictures inside sub-forums?

[Vishalsachar]

Hi,

I need a facility whereby, upon click a forum - say general chat, a photo appears on the top. Then going into another forum, for example, motors, a car image should come up.

I can get pictures in the forum display (via adding html to the description), but I know there is a way to do what i want.

Can someone help?

You can use code like this in the FORUMDISPLAY template:

<img src="[color=red]path/to/[/color]image_$forumid.gif" alt="" border="0" />

Change the path appropriately. Then upload your images to that directory using this naming scheme:

image_<forumid>.gif

For example, if you want an image to show in forumid 3, then its image would be named:

image_3.gif

That should work.
