Just letting everyone know that I've gone over the problem with him via AIM, and after two or so hours, the problem was that he never uploaded the updated page_header.php file from his computer to his server, so the banner and banner_path rows weren't getting passed from the database to the viewable pages themselves. Now it's working perfectly fine for him. If anyone else had any problems, let me know via here or however else and I'll do my best to get things working.

No banners appear above the change banner button although there are 2 image files in the /forums/admin/mods/bannermod/images/banners/ folder. Can anybody help?

Your site can't be found for some reason, but it seems to me that you won't have a problem. My forums have banners of different sizes than the phpBB ones, and the way that my MOD (and phpBB by default) is setup is that the img tag of the banner has no witdh or height set, so I think you should be able to use this MOD with no problems whatsoever.

Download easymod and it does it automatically for you. It's much easier. It is in the mod database.

Thanks for the answer but i prefer to first take a look at my header. The site is working now:

http://www.issworld.tk

So, can you answer to me now:

For some reason, my browsers still can't find your server, or else I'd gladly assist you. Could you possibly make a screencap or something of the sort I can see it and help you from there?

I installed the Mod with easymod, which worked perfectly fine (I double-checked all the changes manually). In the configuration board, the new config-options are shown and I can change the Banner with one problem: It doesn't show the image! If I change the banner, I only have two checkbxes (because I have 2 pictures in the folder), but it doesn't show them. If I know change the banner, it puts the new banner in the database, but it doesn't show the Banner in the Forum.

What did I do wrong?

I had this same problem, try this: in the configuration section of the admin panel, go to the section that was added for the change banner mod. In the banner path add a \ after banners so it should look like

Code: Select all

images\banners\

This is a very good MOD,
To what I have experienced, is that your only *.gif can use files. But now my question is. It is possible for also .swf flash can use files as a logo/banner. If so, which files there I can adapt for. I have phpbb 2.0.11.

Already permanently thanks

I added a /, but it doesn't show the banners, just empty tables cells and the checkboxes.
