Okay if you have read my mod for adding a banner to your forums header, here is one on the same concept for the IPB Portal...
1) Goto
ACP panel
2) Goto
Skins & Templates >
Skin Manager 3)
Left Click on the skin you want to edit and choose
Edit Root Skin HTML 4) Scroll down to
IPB Portal and click to open the template bits window
5) Choose template
csite skeleton template6) Locate this code below and delete it:
CODE
<a href="{ipb.script_url}" title="Return to Forums Index, Powered by IPB"><img src='style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/logo4.gif' style='vertical-align:top' alt='IPB' border='0' /></a>
7) Now copy and paste this code in the place where the other one was:
CODE
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="429" height="92">
<param name="movie" value="header.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="header.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="429" height="92"></embed>
</object>
8) Now
Save and Reload Template
And there you have it, you have now just added a flash banner to your portal.
Change the file called header.swf to your own flash object.
Editors Note: You can use a different header here if you want and another one in the forums. Pretty cool huh??
Enjoy!
