https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94119

DEMO (http://www.gzhq.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=47)
- banner for an on-line game clan/guild.

*** Info:

These files can be any image. (png, jpg, gif, ect).
This will be located after the $navbar on FORMDISPLAY and SHOWTREAD.
This images can be located on the localhost or on a remote server.


Changelog:
------------
1.7
- str_replace used to place hack at $navbar in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD.
- choice to show in thread per forum.
- Place $add_banner in template if str_replace fails to work.

--------------------------------------------------*/

[Zachariah]

1st post :D

*** Useage:
These files can be any image. (png, jpg, gif, ect) or paste your HTML code.

To add banners go to:

Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Edit/Add Forum =>
scroll do to the bottom enter your details.

This script has a few options.
-
By default install it will attempt to place itself
in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD under location "$navbar" in the templates. If for some
reason your banner does not show up you edit and place $add_banner within the templates.

[Zachariah]

Here is a simple JAVA random banner code you can paste in the HTML area of any forum.

EX:
This will show @ random.

image1.jpg @ http://www.yoursite1.com
image2.jpg @ http://www.yoursite2.com
image3.jpg @ http://www.yoursite3.com


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function banner() {
};

banner = new banner();
number = 0;

// bannerArray
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite2.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image2.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite3.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image3.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

// keep adding items above here...

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);
document.write(banner[increment]);

//-->
</script>

Useage: If you need more banners edit / add another row.
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

Thank you very much, Zachariah! ;)

* projectego clicks install

[Veer]

WOW, Thanks a Lot Zachariah

*Installed*

[ShackMaster]

I'm not able to get this to work, either with a single banner or with the script for random banners.

Instead of placing the $add_banner in Forumdisplay and Showthread, could it be added in the Navbar template?

[Replicators]

What don't make sense is the 3.5.x version works just fine for the 3.6, so whats the sense in a update?

[firstrebel]

Installed then uninstalled, for a few reasons.

1] Could not get it to work, just got red X's, in fact got 2 red x's, and I had 5 image files in the scripts. Tried full URL and relative URL.

2] Putting this in each forum is a bit of a long job as I have 40+ forums and I could not get it to work on the forum homepage at all. I would have thought putting the code in the navbar template would be better, then they appear in forumhome and all other forums. I tried that but that didn't work either.

I am obviously doing something wrong, but what. One thing I can't work out ishref='http://www.yoursite1.com'
href='http://www.yoursite2.com'
what do I put if it's all on one site.

Hi i updated, then uninstall ed because i had a problem with my images displaying multiple times. I also reinstalled, images still show multiple times website www.bgleague.com/forum

[Zachariah]

Yes you can but it will only show the banner image on forumdisplay and show thread.

EX:
On the forumdisplay:
$search_text = '$navbar';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('add_banner'), $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);

This looks @ the template FORUMDISPLAY for $navbar and if found it places the content of add_banner under it. If you have a custom style that has removed $navbar there is a option to place $add_banner.

What don't make sense is the 3.5.x version works just fine for the 3.6, so whats the sense in a update?

Many do not look in old 3.5 area. :p

Take a look: Google image, Google News, Froogle

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

Hi i updated, then uninstall ed because i had a problem with my images displaying multiple times. I also reinstalled, images still show multiple times website www.bgleague.com/forum

Ok the reason you seen 2 sets of images:

*** How to Upgrade:

*** Edit 2 Template(s) : FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD no longer need the code below:

Find:
$navbar

below remove:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><center><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><center><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><center>$foruminfo[bannercode]</center><br />
</if>
</if>
</if>

This script has a few options. By default install it will attempt to place itself
in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD under location "$navbar" in the templates. If for some
reason your banner does not show up you edit and place $add_banner within the templates.

[ShackMaster]

$search_text = '$navbar';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('add_banner'), $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);

Is this the code that is supposed to be on my forumdisplay after loading the .xml? Cause that code is nowhere to be found.

[ShackMaster]

I tried placing $add_banner in forumdisplay, but it still doesn't work.

[Zachariah]

I tried placing $add_banner in forumdisplay, but it still doesn't work.

The code above is used in the script to "search" the Forumdisplay template for $navbar and try to place the banner template "add_banner" under.


Do you have $navbar in your Forumdisply template ?
- If so this should show up after you edit a forum and add the needed image, target link, or custom HTML code.

If there is no $navbar in your Forumdisplay then you need to add $add_banner in your template.

I have 2 banners now -

http://www.gzhq.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=47

<body>
$header
$add_banner
$navbar

The one the hack places and the same thing above the $navbar because I edited the template.

What have you placed in the AdminCP in the space for the image in the forum you edited ?

[Barakat]

installed . thanks

[Jonathan Young]

Okay, works fine now. Only thing that seems weird is that everything in the forum edit is in a longer form. By that i mean like 3 words a line, then down like a list, then it shows the field, but it doesn't seem to affect the added image part. If you need a screen shot, i can send one if requested.

[sensimilla]

Great share Zachariah thanks again

lovely mod but doesnt this bad for seo?

thanks for the hack.
just some feature suggestions..
option to have it auto apply to child forums
option to enable/disable the main banner

[michaelsilvia]

This is a great hack!

Is there a way to do this with headers? I would like to have my header changed based on the forum ID. I am working with vb.com, but they are simply showing me conditionals, but that takes up a LOT of space in the header.

You can use this in the header template with a few changes it can show a default image if none is filled out and if on any other VB page that is not a forum.

[giorgiotave]

Hello Zachariah,

this modification work very great :)

i have one question: if i want use more Add Banner in my Forum, how can make?

For example, i want put different 4 banner in Header, in Footer and another place.

I need to install 3 different Add Banner...

You can suggestion for me?

[raiderlax]

For some reason the google adsense code is not showing up here, but it shows up on the other forums.

Here: http://talkfitness.org/forumdisplay.php?f=2

[BobbyBig]

Zachariah this is one of the best mods i have seen around.
I really like the way we can set it per Forum.

I really would like to see more options for a forum:

- in the Forum there will be also advertisement between different Threads
- in the Threads of this Forum will be advertisement between different Postings

I really would love you for this :)

[vuiveclub_net]

Is the a way we can allow the moderator of that forum create his/her own header/footer ??? This seems like only Admin create every single header.

not sure what im doing wrong but i dont get any images come up, just red crosses

[Zachariah]

Red images usably means that the URL's to the images are off.
- Right click on the broke image and go to properties. It should tell you more info on the location of where the script thinks your images are.

[nnjj.net]

is it working for 3.6.8?

[volksrods]

is it working for 3.6.8?

I just installed it in 3.6.8. Everything seems to be working fine. :up:

I do have one question though...
I am not experienced in coding at all... and my programming knowledge is ZILCH, so excuse my ignorance on this.

I've spent a better part of a couple days searching for a way to relocate the banner to a different part of the forum page. I did read where it is only a matter of placing the code in my navbar wherever I see fit... but I just don't know how to do that correctly without having it pretty much "spelled out" like I've seen with some other code listed here (add "this" below "this line", etc...)

As in... exactly what block of code do I need to retrieve after the install, and where exactly do I place it if I wanted to place this banner to sit directly below my main Header Banner instead of the default location set for this hack?

Thanks in advance,

~Steve

Hello Zacariah,

I want to know if this adds banner image to all the forums?

Or is it possible to say add this particular banner image to this particular forum?

So that we display banners relevant to each forum.

Please do let me know. Thanks. Great work!

Would like to know if it's possible to add the banners to the main forum page above each of my main forums?

[trigatch4]

You mention placing these in the header template without the use of conditionals would be a pretty simple task. Would you mind holding our hands through that? I"ve been trying to get this done for AGES and it looks like your mod alone has gotten me 95% of the way.

OH SO CLOSE!

[stuartn]

I've been searching through the FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWTHREAD templates for the code that pulls in the template add_banner. Its not under $navbar, so I checked out $navbar thinking it was globally being pulled over but still no luck. Obviously the template add_banner is in, but it get's pulled those two templates is something I'm struggling width.

Any clues - cause my head is hurting.;-)

[stuartn]

Sussed it....Helps if you actually ready the details in the install. Works nice.

[DieselMinded]

Working on 3.7.0 Gold

[stuartn]

For those wanting to use this with OpenX I would highly recommend it. Also its not very difficult to create a duplicate script that will allow you to run two or multiple set's of ad's throughout the forum. Very nice work indeed.

[stuartn]

Nice peace of code , thanks for sharing your knowledge :)

OpenX will achieve this and far more if plugged you just use the java code invocation within the code part of the forum manager. Yes you run another database and have to install it. But it offers far more flexibility.

[Lee Wallace]

is it working for 3.7.x?

Works great with my 3.7.1 and after market skin. This rocks; Thanks Zachariah!!!

[snowman872]

Working well here with 3.7.2.

I did notice on small thing. Apparently if you do not have a banner defined for a given forum, it creates an uncached template now (addbanner if memory serves). I don't recall that in the past. This is true, even if the banner is "off" for that forum.

Please keep up the good work and keep this add on compatible with vBulletin! Nothing else comes close to it for this specialized purpose. I'll be sending a donation soon. =)

[Zachariah]

I have a lot of ideas and changes in mind for this.
I need to get some time to add them.

[DieselMinded]

can you tell us how to cache the add_banner template

[Zachariah]

hmm there shoulden't be :|
- I'll have to look @ the zip file attached.

I do have a plugin @ hook cache_templates
if (THIS_SCRIPT == "showthread" OR THIS_SCRIPT == "forumdisplay" )
{
$globaltemplates[] = 'add_banner';
}

[DieselMinded]

your Cache templete is as follows on my board

if ($foruminfo['bannerthread'] == '1' OR $foruminfo['banner'] OR $foruminfo['bannercode']){
$globaltemplates[] = 'add_banner';
}

i switched it to what you just posted and it appears to be fixed now thanks

OK, I know this is a really stupid question, but...

A few years ago I set up random banners on a forum, top and bottom of all pages. Here it is:

http://www.horseshoes.com/forums

There are 15 banners in that rotation.

For the life of me I can't recall where I got that plug-in, and in searching, discovered yours.

(I've read every post in this thread!)

Regarding random banners, you posted this code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function banner() {
};

banner = new banner();
number = 0;

// bannerArray
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite2.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image2.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite3.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image3.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

// keep adding items above here...

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);
document.write(banner[increment]);

//-->
</script>

When you posted this code, you said it could be pasted in the HTML area of any forum template page. Ummmm.... what does that mean? How do I know where the HTML area is? (Lord, I feel stupid.....)

Where would I put this code to achieve the same top and bottom placement I have in the forums referenced above? (I'm using version 3.6)

To demonstrtae I'm not a total idiot, here's what the current banner plug-in looks like in the Control Panel:

Thank you.

It's been so long since I did that original banner placement...

OK, I finally figured out how to access the Header template (which shows you how unfamiliar I am with doing this type of stuff), and below is a screen shot of what I did. You'll see that the line:

<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />$random_banner[$random_number]</if>

has the $random_banner[$random_number] code in it, so I guess that's where I inserted it, and it calls on the PHP code in the parse_templates, shown in the previous post.

So... where do I put the random banner code you posted, in this header code? Would you please advise as to the exact location? It will be appreciated.

Thanks again.
