MODs with Cell BGImages:
These are MODs I have done with the code for Category and Head Cell BG Images included.
http://www.skepticfriends.org/download/modswbgimages.zip
This MOD gives you a way to easily select your forum colors using a popup
color selector that shows you what the color is and when you select one the
hexadecimal value is entered into the text box for you.
You may also have background images for your header and category cells. I
have supplied 10 different gradients for you to use. Each one is 2 x 30
pixels so it's not much image for a lot of effect.
I will also release versions of my MODs using these new forum BGImage
variables as well as the regular version.
This MOD is very effective with my other MOD My Forum Themes.
The default for BG images is a transparent gif called invisible.gif
To install:
Upload the dbs file and admin_config_colors.asp to your forum directory.
Upload the images to your designated image directory.
Log into your admin area and go to MOD setup.
Run @tomic's BGImage Cell MOD
This will create the new datase fields and you must do this first. After you
have run this script click on Check Installation on the main admin menu.
CONFIG.ASP
Open config.asp and add the following near line 128:
Dim strHeadCellBGImage, strCategoryCellBGImage
Add the following near line 410:
strHeadCellBGImage = Application(strCookieURL & "STRHEADCELLBGIMAGE")
strCategoryCellBGImage = Application(strCookieURL & "STRCATEGORYCELLBGIMAGE")
That's it for CONFIG.ASP
ADDING THE IMAGES TO YOUR CELLS
Now you will need to go and add strCategoryBGImage to all cells where you
wish the catergory image to show up. This is a simple search and replace.
Look for:
bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """
Make it look like this:
background=""" & strImageURL & strCategoryCellBGImage & """ bgcolor=""" &
strCategoryCellColor & """
You will need to do this on all files you want to have the category BGImage.
Now you will need to do it for the header BG Image
Find:
bgcolor=""" & strHeadCellColor & """
Make it look like this:
background=""" & strImageURL & strHeadCellBGImage & """ bgcolor=""" &
strHeadCellColor & """
Do this everywhere you want to use an image in your header cells.
INC_ICONFILES.ASP
Add this icon reference to inc_iconfiles.asp:
Const strIconColor = "icon_color.gif|15|15"

I forgot to add that to use this in either the My personalization or My Forum Themes MODs you need to add the gradients to my_theme.asp and my_theme2.asp for the desired themes.

wouldn't it be easier to just do this:
strHeadCellColor = strHeadCellColor & """ background=""" & strHeadCellBGImage
strCategoryCellColor = strCategoryCellColor & """ background=""" & strCategoryCellBGImage

You could do that but the way it is now makes it easy to use more combinations including just a cell color and no image and once it's done you don't need to edit those files again.

That seems to be a good idea. |

This is how the Header Cell Image MOD is done.

This one is similar but is a little different.

Nope, I haven't so much as downloaded your version. I have had this some version plus/minus a few minor details running on my site for well over a year. I could be asking if you copied mine  What I do know from reading your thread is that my version does not place imges in the TR tag. They are both quite different from the sounds of it.

Header Cell Image MOD basically substitutes the strHeadCellColor & strCategoryCellColor with that plus the background information, but it does it all in 1 location in config.asp and doesn't require changes throughout the website. It will automatically substitute values throughout the forum. It doesn't look as to where the value is, so even if it's in a TR tag, it will still substitute it and include the background info.

Hmmmm, well don't ask me why and I definately don't insist it's the best way but I feel more comfortable adding the code to every page so I can do it both ways.
