Different Logo/Banner per Section/Topic

PLEASE ENTER THE FOLLOWING>>>>
I would first like to say, this is a great support forum and has helped me out a lot so far as well as the HOWTODOIT. The community is very nice to provide such great support to everyone like this and It's greatly appreciated. I decided to finally sign up to learn more and maybe give back to the community in any way I can.

Forum:
http://hbclanserver.myfreeforum.org/index.php


Active Template: myff_hbclanserver4


Please indicate keywords you have searched on: Logo's, Banner's, Multiple Logos, Changing logo's, Logos per topic, thread logos, Logos for sections, ect ect


Now ask your question in clear English without "txt" speak>>>>

I simply want a few sections on this forum to have a different banner than my default banner I have set. But still have the pages I don't change to remain with the default one like the main index page.

Ok, I understand quite a bit of HTML and these types of edit's or "coding" and have already made many changes similar or even more complex than this. I must just be missing something or not understanding fully. I did not find anything here on this but followed this HOWTODOIT the part "Now place this code where you wish the logo or image  to appear. " Confuses me a bit. I have edited my overall_header.tpl with this code from HOWTODOIT. Except with my src= paths and my index numbers.

Code:
 <!-- IF FORUM_ID== 1 -->
<center><a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/myfs_testhtml4/images/logo1.gif" border="0" alt="HOWTODOIT"></a></center>
<!-- ELSEIF FORUM_ID == 2 -->

<center><a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/myfs_testhtml4/images/logo2.gif" border="0" alt="HOWTODOIT"></a></center>
<!-- ELSE -->
<center><a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/myfs_testhtml4/images/logo3.gif" border="0" alt="HOWTODOIT"></a></center>
<!-- ENDIF -->
But it seems no matter where I put it in overall_header.tpl it completely messes up the forums untill I remove what I changed. I may just not be putting in in the right spot but ive tried it in numerous places. This is the code in overall_header.tpl that is already there that specifies my current banner.
Code:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td align="left" background="templates/myff_hbclanserver4/images/MobtownBlues_logo_bkgd.jpg""><a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/myff_hbclanserver4/images/forumbanner1.jpg" border="0"></a></td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


I tried to be as detailed and helpful as possible so that someone can help me. I'm sure it's something small. Much Thanks in advance.

If that's the same code you're using, you should try adding a space between FORUM_ID and == in #1

ahh. Wow, I guess staring at the same code for so long I did't notice that. Spelling error with HOWTODOIT. =/ Ive seen them before but caught them. Just missed this one. Thank you so much, I furthur edited the way I wanted it and everything works how I want it. Thanks for the fast response, just needed someother person's eyes I guess.

if the whole page messes up then it's usually an error in the script, not the html.

I just meant the code inserted.

This is a very good example of when people complain about glitches in games... one single space can mess up the entire thing and you could search thousands of lines of code for it.

Thanks again. Yea I know how that feels... trying to find a tiny typo somewhere in a large code...

But while we are on the matter... another error in HOWTODOIT that I found a while back is in HERE

At the very bottom, the final code given is wrong.
Code:
({birthday.YEARS})
This is missing from the final code given. It's an easy catch but might throw someone off in the future.

I didnt add that bit to the final code , as it appeared long after the original code,, but it is easy enough for someone to add it if they need to , as a lot of people do not want to show their age.
