I've seen quite a few forums (mostly all VB's) that show random photo's from the photopost database on the forum summary page (usually near the top). While searching around here, I've found the Sidebar pal and IIP mods that allow you to generate random photopost PAL boxes. However, I would like my site to display three to four photo's horizontally between my forum banner and the top of the forum listing, identical to

SWFan the Photopostpal you see down the sidebar's etc can be modified very simply by moving the tr opening and closing tag out of the image look and put them right under the tbopen and over the tbclose Thus you get one row with 4 td's instead of 4 rows like you see.
Okay, but I think I'm still confused. To use this custompal box don't I have to be running either IIP or Sidebarpal? I really don't want to, at least not now. I just thought there was some code I could insert into one of the existing UBBT templates that would pull the photo's right underneath the banner. Or am I missing something about using this modification?
No you do not need to run either.
Rename it to whatever you want just make sure to follow the instructions as far as placing the photopost-inc.php file where the file can find it and filling it out. You then include the file where you want it at.
I don't know PHP so I need a little help with this. Let's say I want it to show between the navigation row (where it shows Main Index, Search, Who's Online, etc. and the top row of the forum summary.
Would I edit the ubbt_registerednav and unregisterednav templates, or would another be better?
Also, what would the exact PHP coding look like to accomplish this?
some minor misspelling I suppose in line 38 of custombox3pal.php
