Text/Banner Ads only in specific categories

[feverhost]

I've been looking through the Mods section of the website, which i've downloaded and installed a good amount.. awesome stuff. But I haven't found something that would be very useful for one of my vbulletin forums.

What i'm looking for is a way to setup TEXT/Banner Ads in specific forums only. I run an Informational City Website that is setup as each state is a category. I want to add in "City Websites" that I have created right under the navigation bar.

So North Carolina would have links to: Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill

California: San Diego, Los Angeles

Texas: Houston, Dallas, San Antonio

etc...

Could someone help me out and assist me on what I need to do, to create this? I have limited php skills...

<if condition="$forum[forumid] != X"></if>

X would be the Banner/Text Ad correct? As in

<if condition="$forum[1094] != This is the relocation add for 1094"></if>

<if condition="$forum[1095] != This is the relocation add for 1095"></if>

correct?

[zardos]

nop,

<if condition="$forum[forumid] != 1094">This is the add for 1094</if>

Ah.... I see now.. awesome....

Where do you suggest that I put this so it will be right under the navbar?

[zardos]

Do a template search on navbar and then do some testing ;)

<CENTER>
<if condition="$forum[forumid] != 63">
<div style="padding:1em; text-align: center;">
<B><I>Testing; please ignore</I></B>
</div>
</if>
</CENTER>


The GUESTS ONLY code works fine, but the Forum code is showing on all forums not just 63. Any ideas?

[zardos]

hehe, sorry dude :) By bad :P this is the code!

<CENTER>
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 63">
<div style="padding:1em; text-align: center;">
<B><I>Testing; please ignore</I></B>
</div>
</if>
</CENTER>

I added in the code, but the strange thing now is it won't show up at all... even in the forum 63

[zardos]

If u use the first code i posted it will display in every forum expat the one specified , if u use the other one it will only show up in the one you specified.

Pasting that code directly into the navbar should work correct? Im scratching my head over here.. just can't get it working.

I paste the following into navbar and nothing shows up on forum 63


<CENTER>
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 63">
<div style="padding:1em; text-align: center;">
<B><I>Testing; please ignore</I></B>
</div>
</if>
</CENTER>


I fixed it.. the syntax should be:


<if condition="$forumid == X">
MSG HERE
</if>


Thx for the help zardos we finally got it :)
