UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Clickable Banners

Running threads 6.3.
We have some banners but we want to make them clickable to link to our other sites.
I've created a clickable banner using Imageready which creates a *.html and a *.jpg.
The jpg is displaying but it needs to be the html file that's used to make the banner clickable.
How do I make it load the html file as the banner?
Or is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks in advance

in a sidebar? in the IIP front entrance? in the header or footer? need a little more clarification.

Whoops
Above the header.
Similar to on here where it says THREADSDEV above the header.

okay so then you want a clickable link in the header.. so go to your header-insert.php or header. depends where you define YOUR header and make

<a href = "http://spike.com><img src = "blah.gif></a>

Apologies as I'm learning as I go along here.
Having recently inherited an established forum.
We are using
MD Random Image Generator
Version 1.0.0
It includes the line
$pattern="\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp|swf)$";
I've tried adding HTML but I just get the dreaded red cross.
So I suppose my question is can I modify this to work with HTML or can I make a file in one of the above formats that is clickable?
Thanks again

okay that sheds more light onto the subject.. I would have to see the exact script.

Have received a message from the author who says it is not possible with that utility.
He has suggested a couple of other utilities that may work so I'll give them a go and see how I get on.
Thanks

I use this
Multiple Random Banners v1.1 (No Duplicates)
By Twisty


It works for 6.5 but I don't see why it wouldn't work for 6.3

You can see it at my site

Thanks again guys.
I've installed Multiple Random Banners v1.1 (No Duplicates)
By Twisty and it's displaying the linkable banners.
My question now is how do I get the image to center and also the link opens in the current window but I'd prefer it to open in a new window.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks

In your image lines try; target = new (not sure if that syntax is correct but it seems to work)

ex:
$image_html[11] = "<a href="http://www.leetgamers.org"target = new ><img src="/ubbthreads/images/banners/leetness.png" border="0"></a>";

As for centering it depends. I have my banner.inc in the html section of header.php file so it looks like this


I would think this would work also

<center>
<?PHP include "$thispath/includes/banners.inc.php"; ?>
</center>

Chaos thanks again the target = new works perfectly.

I added this
<center>
<? include "$thispath/includes/banners.inc.php"; ?>
</center>

But still no joy.
If I add this though
<center>
align = "center"
<? include "$thispath/includes/banners.inc.php"; ?>
</center>
The banner now centres but the line of code align - "center" appears in the top left corner of the header.
Obviously something simple but as my php is very limited not to me.

Sorted.
<td align="center"> was the solution.
Wish I could claim credit but it wasn't me that fixed it.

Thanks for the help guys.
