vB.Sponsors - Forum and Category Sponsorship with Statistics

[aaamaretto]

I upgraded to 3.6.2 and upgraded vBsponsors to 1.0.5

I got the banners to display, but when they are clicked, it opens a page with a hyperlink instead of a direct link to the sponsor...

any suggestions?

Could we please get this for vBulletin 3.6?

[Nuguru]

Hello,

Can you please let me know if you have a branding free option for vb3.5.4-3.5.5? Either way, can you please provide some details?


Thank You,

Nuguru

Hello,

I still would like to know on this. Is there someone that knows something on this?

It can't be that hard to remove the copyright and pay a fee to do so. Pretty basic stuff, just someone needs to communicate here.


Thank You,

Nuguru :)

<font size="4">DESPERATE</font> for 3.6.2 version of this...

I see from the history that it is "coming" .... but when.

I know all about the work effort, and do appreciate it.

Any information would be GREATLY appreciated on the 3.6.x compatibility version.

[PossumX]

OK... now 3.6.3 version ....

[paypal]

when you create a new forum its at the bottom


I dont see the hack in the admincp, I found the part where you can turn it on and off in the admincp but not the main part from this one https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=39677

THanks

OK... now 3.6.3 version ....
v2.0 for 3.6.x is done. I just need to check the template code. I've been so #$%* busy lately I haven't had the chance. It should be posted this weekend provided I don't end up working.

[PossumX]

Deviation:

VERY MUCH appreciated. I do know how much work goes into these, as I am a developer by trade, IT Release Manager by current role, and sit in front of my computers at home many evenings.

Looking forward to the posting of v2.0.

[nul7]

That's great news! Thanks for your work Dev. We finally got our first sponsor so I've been waiting for this update. I've been testing it on 3.6.2/3 and aside from the admincp issue i posted about earlier, I noticed there is an incompatibility with FireFox. The banners do not display. It works in IE, though. Then again... that was the same thing with the AdminCP pages... worked in IE and not in FireFox. Maybe it's just my computer? lol

Sorry there sir, my bad. I didn't see the update. Much appreciated !!

[bada_bing]

great hack . for those who want to make the output to look better (like me) try this code.

In FORUMDISPLAY find

<!-- controls above thread list -->

AFTER ADD

<if condition="$foruminfo[sponsor_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_sponsorship] == 1"><table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="468" height="60" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" align="center"><span class="normal"><font size="1">
$vbphrase[sponsored_by] </font>
</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" align="center"><span class="normal"><font size="1"><a href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=$foruminfo[forumid]" title="$foruminfo[sponsor_name]" target="_blank">

It will look like this

I like what you did here but this code does not work if you are using side blocks located to the left of the forum, it throws the entire template off...

Do you know how to fix that issue?

Be sure when posting HTML code that you enclose it with the HTML tag on the forum (looks like the <>). Otherwise its a bear to read. ;)

[bada_bing]

OK I will use the HTML tags next time sorry.. Now I tried the updated code and the weird thing is as soon as I apply that code my server spike to 80% utilization:alien:

What is going on?

Yep just verified with my Hosting provider that as soon as I add this code in my FORUMDISPLAY the server peeks to 80% Any ideas why?

Not sure. There's nothing overly complex happening there. Have you checked to see what the template does with any changes (stock)?

After looking at the original FORUMDISPLAY code I've included, it looks like the code you pasted initially has some additions.

Try this:

This is the original code with a <div> tag added to center the sponsor's ad. This replaces the section of vB.Sponsor code ONLY. This isn't the full FORUMDISPLAY code.

That's for support of large banners in the forum. If you don't have a large banner specified, it will use the small banner instead. ;)

Hi,

I have installed and continue to get a page cannot be found error on the redirect to sponsor page.

The sponsor shows up correct in forum
(See screenshot)

The url displayed when clicking on the sponsor link is https://www.mumsgroup.com/forums/vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=7

I checked the forums database and the sponsor url appears to be all ok.
and it is forum ID# 7
(see Screenshot)

my path to vB.Sponsors dir is D:\apache2\htdocs\forums\vB.Sponsors
my line 27 is chdir('d:/apache2/htdocs/forums/');


I have checked and double checked all the templates are correct.

Any ideas why i dont get directed to the sponsors site when clickin on the link, I just get the URL above.

Add http:// in front of the sponsor URL.

Mark,

[BigJimTheLug]

You have to edit a file path in the "link.php" file.


Open it with notepad and look for where it tells you that you have to edit it.


Once you find it, enter your forum's parth.

Pretty easy.

I had the same problem as well, but fixed it.

Cheers.

Anyone know how to make just the small text that says "Sponsored By:" show up bold but not the rest of the forum description?

I tried book-ending $vboptions[sponsor_global_default_text] wiht a <strong></stong> tag but no luck. It seems that whatever the form description text size is, the "Sponsored by" text is the same.

Placement of the "Forum sponsored by" text is at your control. Wherever you place the template changes is where the text will appear.

You could simply add a line break (<br/>) prior to the phrase. For example your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template change is:
<!-- vBSponsors -->
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_sponsorship] == 1">
$vbphrase[sponsored_by] <a href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=$forum[forumid]" title="$forum[sponsor_name]" target="_blank">
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_banner_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_banners] == 1">
<img src="$forum[sponsor_banner]" alt="$forum[sponsor_name]" border="0" />
<else />
$forum[sponsor_name]
</if></a>
</if>

You could change that to:
<!-- vBSponsors -->
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_sponsorship] == 1">
<br/>
$vbphrase[sponsored_by] <a href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=$forum[forumid]" title="$forum[sponsor_name]" target="_blank">
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_banner_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_banners] == 1">
<img src="$forum[sponsor_banner]" alt="$forum[sponsor_name]" border="0" />
<else />
$forum[sponsor_name]
</if></a>
</if>
Note the line break after the first <if>. You really have a good bit of freedom with the template changes. The code above has to be in place, but you can add alignment & formatting as you choose. The example above was just on one bit of the template code to show you how you can modify it.

In your case, I think you'd be looking for the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post & forumhome_forumbit_level2_post.
In those templates you would make the change in between the for <if> and the <div> tags.
<!-- vBSponsors -->
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_sponsorship] == 1">
<div style="float:$stylevar[right]">

I'm at work right now so I can't verify that. I'm just going by what I have on the docs. You may also want to change the <div> to float:$stylevar[left] to align it left.

That last bit of text needs a line break BEFORE it.

Example is the Hookerz sponsor. You need a line break(<br/>) before you add the sponsor's name on that forum. That should knock it down to the next line.

It was brought to my attention by one of my mods that only when using IE browser this happens but not Firefox. When viewing the forums in forumdisplay mode I am getting an empty box where it thinks there is suppose to be a banner but I have no banner specified. Again this only happens in IE, while in Firefox it shows correct where only the link shows. How do I fix this issue? Please look at the attached pics

I'm not sure if this is being supported anymore, because the host site is down, and the Deviation hasn't been on since July...but I really would love to have this option:

-Stats viewable by the sponsors in the User CP of their account

I'm still here! Just moving to a new server. Unfortunately it hasn't gone as smooth as I had hoped. Give me a a day or so and the site & forums will be back up.

I plan on starting development again in the next month. So keep the suggestions coming.:)

[ArchangelX]

Great to hear! Sorry for all the gloom and doom! :erm:

Good luck with your move! :up:

It was brought to my attention by one of my mods that only when using IE browser this happens but not Firefox. When viewing the forums in forumdisplay mode I am getting an empty box where it thinks there is suppose to be a banner but I have no banner specified. Again this only happens in IE, while in Firefox it shows correct where only the link shows. How do I fix this issue? Please look at the attached pics

Deviation,

I have decided to stay on version 1.0.5 because of the issues I had upgrading to the latest version. What I really would like to correct is this issue. I will PM you our site so you can take a look at what my forum display looks like when using IE only but looks good in Firefox

v3.7.3

[flup]

Definitly gonna use this one! :) Thanks

[MGSteve]

Is this compatible with v3.8 yet (and yes I know 3.8 is in beta still!)

[2k05gt]

Any Idea when this will be avalable for 3.8.1? or is there another add-on that does the same thing ?

[Sulley007]

Will this work with vb 3.8.2?

[useakme]

Do you install this for a fee? I'm somewhat computer handicapped.

[bada_bing]

Does this work with vb 3.8.3 please
