Well here are my graphics.  I have been making graphics for a while now.

Ok I went to my forum today and my forum was messed up and I am guessing that its was from the Style Sheet but I tried to fix it but it didn't work.  Well here is how it looks. http://advertise.smfforfree3.com/index.php

This is the first Random Affiliate Box that I had some help making.
Here is a Preview of it.  Its at the very bottom of the page and at the top.


First you will need to put it in the Footers if you want it at the Bottom of the page.  If you want it at the top then put it in the headers it doesn't matter.


<script>
//Created by deathwilldie of SMF Codes at www.smcodes.smfforfree3.com
var tItLe="TITLE HERE"
var AffNum="NUMBER OF AFFILIATES HERE"
var randomizer=Math.round(Math.random()*AffNum)
var affs=[]
affs[0]=["0","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];
for(e=0;e<affs.length;e++){
if(randomizer==affs[e][0]){
document.write("<table align='center' width='200' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='1'><th class='windowbg2' align='center'>"+tItLe+"</th><tr><td class='catbg' align='center'><a href='"+affs[e][1]+"'><img src='"+affs[e][2]+"' /></a></td></tr></table>") }}
</script>

Now its time to learn were to put the Title of the Affiliates Box.  Find this part.

var tItLe="TITLE HERE"
All you do is change the TITLE HERE part in it.

Next is the part were you put the affiliates in.

Find this part
affs[0]=["0","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];For the SITE_URL you put the Url of the site that you want the image to go to.
For the IMAGE_URL you put the image for the site.

Now adding more Affiliates

place

Quote

affs[0]=["0","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];

Directly Beneath

Quote

affs[0]=["0","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];

Make sure to increase the number in red by one everytime you add a new affiliate

Example of how to work code.

<script>
//Created by deathwilldie of SMF Codes at www.smcodes.smfforfree3.com
var tItLe="Title Here"
var AffNum="5"
var randomizer=Math.round(Math.random()*AffNum)
var affs=[]
affs[0]=["0","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];
affs[1]=["1","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];
affs[2]=["2","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];
affs[3]=["3","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];
affs[4]=["4","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];
affs[5]=["5","SITE_URL","IMAGE_URL"];

for(e=0;e<affs.length;e++){
if(randomizer==affs[e][0]){
document.write("<table align='center' width='200' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='1'><th class='maintitle' align='center'>"+tItLe+"</th><tr><td class='row4' align='center'><a href='"+affs[e][1]+"'><img src='"+affs[e][2]+"' /></a></td></tr></table>") }}
</script>

see how the bold red number equals the largest number of all the other red numbers. or the ammount of affiliates plus one.

Well this is a very simple member legend but its the first one I have made. 

Preview!!
Its at the bottom of the page


Were it goes: Admin --> Manage Styles --> Edit Headers/Footers --> Footers

<!--Member Legend made by Deathwilldie (www.smcodes.smfforefree3.com)-->
<center><table width="50%" border="0">
<tr><th class="windowbg2">Member Legend</th></tr>
<tr><td class='catbg'>
<center><font color="COLOR">Administrator</font> | <font color="COLOR">Moderator</font> | <font color="COLOR">Member</font> | <font color=COLOR>Banned</font> </center>
</tbody>
</table>


To change the color of the Names just change the COLOR part in the code to the color that you want.

To add more parts to the Legend Keep adding one of these right before the </center> Tag.
| <font color=COLOR>Banned</font>
Your also able to change the names on the Legend to fit your forums staff or members and things like that.
