theres different ways it can be done.

you could add a field to the database and store the image location.

or you could have a function that does a different link.


at the top of the /forum/includes/header.asp file add 

<% Call HeaderImage(intForumID) %>


then add to the functions_common.asp file:


Private Function HeaderImage(intForumID)
    select intForumID
    case 1

        strTitleImage = "location to image"
    case 2
        strTitleImage = "location to image"
    end select
end function


then just add and edit the pages below for each forum. 



    case 2

        strTitleImage = "location to image"


the number is the ID of the forum.
you can find this out by looking at the FID= in links, for example:

Quote http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_topics.asp?FID=24


This would be 24.

I tried doing the same. But Didn't had any luck.
 
I am getting this on top of the page.
 

.Cookies(strCookiePrefix & "pID").Path = strCookiePath End Sub %>

Here are the changes I did. Please correct me where I went wrong.
 
In Header.asp File change which I did is in bold letters
 
I placed the call for HeaderImage in header.asp in between <body> and <table..... as shown here.
 
 
<body>
<% Call HeaderImage(intForumID) %>
<table class="basicTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center">.
------------------------------------------------- 
and in functions_common.asp I added 
 
Private Function HeaderImage(intForumID)
 Dim strTitleImage   
 Select Case intForumID   
  Case 1
         strTitleImage = "/forum_images/abc.jpg"   
  Case Else     
   strTitleImage = "/forum_images/123.jpg"   
 End Select
End Function
 
I am not a asp Programmer and I have no clue on how these things work, So please don't mistake me and help me in resolving this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

I really need someone's help in directing me how I can achieve this.
 
I can save it in the database as an image or put them in one folder.
But in either of the scenarios I appreciate if anyone can help me in where to modify the code so that I can can see different banner for different forum.
 
 
Please help me

I, too, would like to be able to have a different image over each "forum"
For engines, a nice 390 V8 image would be great, for the transmission section, perhaps a T5 transmission image, that sort of thing.
What about somewhere doing a "if xxx then" sort of thing?
If forumid=24 then xxxxxxx
else
if forumid=19 then xxxxx

and so on?

How easy a mod would this be?
I've got someone who could do some VERY nice flash-headers as used in

This would be for the forum at http://theamcforum.com/forum

Sorry, looking at this again, it maybe better to do:




at the top of the /forum/includes/header.asp file add 

<% strTitleImage = HeaderImage(intForumID,strTitleImage) %>


then add to the functions_common.asp file:


Private Function HeaderImage(intForumID,strTitleImage)
    Dim strOutput

    select intForumID
    case 1

        strOutput = "location to image"
    case 2
        strOutput = "location to image"
    case else
        strOutput = strTitleImage
    end select

    HeaderImage = strOutput
end function


This would be an easy mod to build, you just do the following

This ability would be worth buying someone a 6-pack of a good German beer, or if you are British, tea. 
I look forward to seeing what you come up with. You folks are just plain talented.
