Monthly Banners and Holidays

BY: The Wizard (http://www.wizardsplanet.com)

Version 3.7

For SMF Version 2.0.4


Introduction:

Instead of having one boring banner all the time because it's too much trouble to change the layout use Monthly Banner!
Have graphic artists who want to change the forums banner all the time?
Install Monthly Banner and give them the tools to get the job done, and allow your forums tech person to take a vacation
from this tedious and tiring task.

Monthly Banner adds a banner to the top of your forum, and changes it every month.
All you have to do is use the built in uploader to add your banners.
Plan out the year in advance, and then don't worry about it till next year.

The uses for this mod are endless it all depends on your imagination!
- maybe you own a commercial site, and want to have monthly sales, or ads?
- maybe you want to have 12 holiday banners. One for each month?

I have included a 12 monthly banners and 9 holiday banners in this mod as a sample of what you can do.

You can use jpeg, jpg, gif, png banners.

Copyright Notes:
Artwork by Velasca: A while ago the Wizard asked me to make some artwork for his Monthly and Holiday Banner Mod.
So I went through my folder of pictures I took and found some things to use. I hope you all enjoy them.
I have given The Wizard permission to use the artwork in the mod and allowing the artwork to be distrubited with the mod.
