Guide created by Simply Sibyl.

STEP 1:
Set up the rank images for your Membergroups
Admin > Membergroups
Click "Modify" across from a Membergroup
Click on the starfile image link.   
Choose an image

Enter the filename for the image you chose in the star image filename blank for the membergroup.
Set up a different starfile image for each Membergroup.
IMPORTANT:   Make SURE all of your Membergroup images are working before going on to the next step.


STEP 2:
Get the url of the image(s) you just set up
Get the url from the starfile image page or a members post that the image shows in - NOT the Membergroup page.

From the starfile image page or post:
Right mouse click on the image
Click Propertys.
You will see the url there.
Copy the url.

IMPORTANT: It is important that you have the CORRECT url or this will not work.
Make sure the image starts with:   http://images.smfboards.com NOT  http://www.smfboards.com



STEP 3:

(The code goes in the Footer)

<script type='text/javascript'>
/*
Change Any Image On Page
Created by iFusion
*/
var img_b = new Array();

img_b[img_b.length++] = ["OLD IMAGE URL" , "NEW IMAGE URL"]

var all_images = document.getElementsByTagName('IMG');
for(i=0;i<all_images.length;i++){
for(j=0;j<img_b.length;j++){
   if(all_images[i].src == img_b[j][0]){
     all_images[i].src = img_b[j][1];
}}}
</script>

Replace OLD IMAGE URL with the url of the image you want to replace
Replace NEW IMAGE URL with the url of the new image you want to use

Add more of these lines if you have several images to swap:

img_b[img_b.length++] = ["OLD IMAGE URL" , "NEW IMAGE URL"]


If you want to do it for more images click ADD NEW FIELD and put in the URLs for the additional images, old and new.



If you have problems getting it to work

FIRST:   go back thru the directions and double check your work.
If you still need help  reply to this thread
1.   paste the code you used so we can look at it.
2.   post your forum url - preferably to a post in the forum that shows the image is not correct

I love this tutorial... I always swap images for my membergroups images.

The page for the Generator was made by a member (from SMF for Free) and his page must be down.

If the Generator URL is not working:

(The code goes in the Footer)

<script type='text/javascript'>
/*
Change Any Image On Page
Created by iFusion
*/
var img_b = new Array();

img_b[img_b.length++] = ["OLD IMAGE URL" , "NEW IMAGE URL"]

var all_images = document.getElementsByTagName('IMG');
for(i=0;i<all_images.length;i++){
for(j=0;j<img_b.length;j++){
   if(all_images[i].src == img_b[j][0]){
     all_images[i].src = img_b[j][1];
}}}
</script>

Replace OLD IMAGE URL with the url of the image you want to replace
Replace NEW IMAGE URL with the url of the new image you want to use

Add more of these lines if you have several images to swap:

img_b[img_b.length++] = ["OLD IMAGE URL" , "NEW IMAGE URL"]

I would like to use Pennies instead of the default star image. Am I suppose to alter that list page with all the other rank badges for it to work? Or is there an alternative to what I need such as hosting it from Photobucket and using the URL code from there?

CB - the only way you can use different rank images is to follow the instructions in the Guide.     
When you get to Step 3 in the Guide -  the page with the Generator is no longer available to skip a few posts to the post I made that has the code you will edit and put into your footer.  You MUST do all of the other steps before doing that

You can have multiple codes in your footer.

How can you add over one image rank? like someone would have Administrator rank and V.I.P below how would you do this?

How can you add over one image rank? like someone would have Administrator rank and V.I.P below how would you do this?

The only way this is possible is if you created a separate membergroup called "Administrator - VIP" or whatever you'd want, and then make an image that has both of the rank images on it and use it in the code.
