Inline style in the code. That is how I did it on my old radio site.

After a heap of research and tweaking, I've come up with this code, to allow a random image as well as an anchor text below and linking.

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

My problem now is, when I paste it into a block, it's not showing up. It showed up just fine until i added the extra array for the anchor text, so i'm wondering if there's some sort of mistake, or if it just won't work?

Hopefully this is an easy fix?

go to acp/IM Portal/Page Management
change your page Template File from portal_body.tpl to layout1.tpl

portal_body.tpl includes space for right blocks

Its probably just some simple html or java image rotation code stuck inside a block.

You can think of a block as a mini webpage, you can stick anything you want in one.

it's a roleplaying site, hehe.

And ok. The owner of said site did mention she did a lot of coding into it, and she added the pictures herself. Will have to ask her.

I dont know what to make of that site. The owner is from Denver and I would be willing to bet that all those famous ppl are NOT members of the site. I could be wrong though.... but I doubt it

it is more than likely just a simple js that loads one of several web pages into that block

Okay, got the random pic block working, thanks! Now...to pick your brain...there's a site i go to that has a random pic set up where they have names under the pictures, and the name is a link to their profile:

http://sodiumsky.com/eotwawki/phpBB3/in ... 42c4c9fa7e

How would I do that for mine, or is it undoable?

ETA: Got random banner working, now, as well! Looking awesome and I can't thank you enough for your help. Next on my list is enabling right hand blocks

did you add the block to the dark template as well? also remember to refresh your cache in acp/IM Portal/Delete Cache Files

to show blocks on the forum page go to acp/IM Portal/Portal Configuration
set "Enable system-wide portal footer" to yes go to acp/IM Portal/Blocks Management and select your portal page.
set whatever "right" blocks you want to display on the forum page to "footer" ten delete your cache files again.

for the rotating logo upload a duplicate of the forum root/images/random_pics folder but firs rename it to random_header.
Add your logos to it.
OPEN forum root/templates/Dark/overall_header.tpl
FIND

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

REPLACE WITH

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

be sure your images are all the same size and set the size in acp/General Admin/Configuration
Dont worry about the "Choose a Logo" part because it will not show anyway.

meaning it's not showing at all.

Oh, and while I have your attention

I'm also wanting the banner at the top of my site to change each time the page is refreshed. I have 4 banners that I will be using. I've researched and found one for phpbb3, but when i looked in includes/functions.php for the correct code to change, thinking i might be able to tweak it, i couldn't find what it was looking for, so i'm assuming that 2 and 3 are too different. Is there any other way to accomplish this?

And finally, is there any way to have blocks show on the left AND right of my forum. Currently, the blocks to the right that i have showing in my portal disappear as soon as the forum is entered.

Thanks to you gentlemen for yet again dealing with my complete lack of skills!s

oops, figured i'd better add my url! http://www.nextincantation.com
