I have replaced the SMF logo with my own logo (banner sized picture). I would like to have multiple banners and have a random one be seen each time the user moves around or opens the forum. Can someone help me with this?

this is a very, very, very simple script for what you want:
$numbanners = 3; // number of banners to show
$random = rand(1,$numbanners);
$img = array();
$url = array();
$txt = array();
$img[1] = "banner1.gif";
$url[1] = "www.url.com";
$txt[1] = "text banner 1";
$img[2] = "banner2.gif";
$url[2] = "www.url2.com";
$txt[2] = "text banner 2";
$img[3] = "banner3.gif";
$url[3] = "www.url3.com";
$txt[3] = "text banner 3";
echo "<a href='$url[$random]' target='_blank'><img src='$img[$random]' alt='$txt[$random]' border='0'></a>";
you can put that on your index.template.php and replace your logo with this:
echo "<a href='$url[$random]' target='_blank'><img src='$img[$random]' alt='$txt[$random]' border='0'></a>";
to show the random logo.
Thanks Miss All Sunday,
Is there a particular place in the index.template.php that I need to add your code?
Also, this line of code...
echo "<a href='$url[$random]' target='_blank'><img src='$img[$random]' alt='$txt[$random]' border='0'></a>";
is at the end of the code that I edit into the index.template.php code you told me to add.
I don't understand the comment "and replace your logo with this:"
Do I add that single line of code somewhere agan (it's already in the fist set of code that you noted)?
Thanks again. I can't wait to try it once you straighten me out.
Hi, yes, there are two part, this one:
$numbanners = 3; // number of banners to show
$random = rand(1,$numbanners);
$img = array();
$url = array();
$txt = array();
$img[1] = "banner1.gif";
$url[1] = "www.url.com";
$txt[1] = "text banner 1";
$img[2] = "banner2.gif";
$url[2] = "www.url2.com";
$txt[2] = "text banner 2";
$img[3] = "banner3.gif";
$url[3] = "www.url3.com";
$txt[3] = "text banner 3";
can be everywhere on your file as long as it don't break the php syntax.
this part:
echo "<a href='$url[$random]' target='_blank'><img src='$img[$random]' alt='$txt[$random]' border='0'></a>";
is the one that will replace your logo code, attach your theme's Index.template.php and we can tell you where to put this code.
I'm just getting back to trying this out. I'm a bit confused on editing in the logo code. I have attached my index.template.[php file which is just the default template for 1.14. I'm thinking that I need to replace line 197 with the logo code.
Thanks in advance.

Most probably you placed it somehwere which is not the right place for it.
Try to put it before theme_linktree() in index.template.php
