[Mythotical]

Due to the pricing and yearly fee of vBulletin I am no longer creating mods for vBulletin, instead I have stepped out of the shadow of vBulletin to create my own stand alone mods. I wish to thank everyone who downloaded and installed my mods but as of now with not being able to afford hosting and vBulletin, I decided to drop vBulletin so hopes of me returning would only happen if my newest venture brings me a nice profit.

Thank you all again
Steve

[EnIgMa1234]

Nice work :)

Installs*

[nymyth]

installed.....nice work.

[Quantnet]

Been asking around and waiting for this. Thanksssssssss

[FreshFroot]

thanks for a great hack! :D

[Mythotical]

Teehee, glad I actually released something that would get used. Just remember to click Install so that when I update you will know.

[Quantnet]

Should we install now or wait for the update version if it's coming out very shortly ?

[yaoren]

Reserved until the update comes out.

Thanks :D

[Mythotical]

I don't have any plans for the update to come out for a bit longer as I gotta concentrate on my job this week so time will be minimum for doing mods but I will try to get an update to this with a few other features added.

If you want to see a feature, suggest it, lets see if I can get it done.

[adc-arab]

thx steve for this great mod reserved untill the update coems out :p

oh can u add a feature to change the place of showing the mod like to put it above the forums or the navbar also if u can add a feature to hide this mod from guest that would be awesome thx alot dude ^^

[Mythotical]

Now thats better, I will accept those feature requests as they make sense. I will just end up adding vB Settings for that type of stuff. w00t

[Quantnet]

I installed and got this database error

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Fixed, redownload the zip file and you only have to reimport the xml file with overwrite enabled.

[Quantnet]

Edited the template and the Sponsor table is 100% width while my forum is adjustable width just like vb.org

Also, where do i add pictures, banner ? I didn't see any options anywhere.

[Mythotical]

For now you'll have to upload the banner images to a folder called /sponsors/ in your site root directory. Then enter just the name and extension of the image when adding the new sponsor. I plan to have the new upload option added in next release.

The width issue I will have fixed hopefully soon.

[Mythotical]

Right now I'm having an issue with a 13 yr old who keeps DDoSing my site so I can't access any of my stuff. We are currently switching hosts because our current host won't do anything to prevent this so I'm going back to HostGator. Hopefully this will be done in the comings hours so I can fixed the issue.

Try changing the code you added in FORUMHOME to this:
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="6" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
Sponsors
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="6" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
<table width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
<tr>
$sponsor_bits
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

[Quantnet]

Look at the bottom of my forum on my signature. The table is still 100%

Where do i add new sponsor ? VB Options ?

[Mythotical]

Quantnet: Move the code above the </table> right above it.

You add sponsors through the ACP, you will see a navigation drop down to the left called TFW Sponsor, click the arrow to expand then click Add Sponsor

I have not included any vB Options with this mod, which I will to add the new features mentioned.

[Quantnet]

I don't see any drop down menu. I uploaded 2 files as directed.

[projectego]

Great idea. Just the kind of hack I have been waiting for. Cheers!

[powerful_rogue]

Really stupid question, but where do I alter the settings in the ACP?

[powerful_rogue]

Quantnet: Move the code above the </table> right above it.

You add sponsors through the ACP, you will see a navigation drop down to the left called TFW Sponsor, click the arrow to expand then click Add Sponsor

I have not included any vB Options with this mod, which I will to add the new features mentioned.

Im in the same boat. Installed this on two different VB boards and theres no option in the ACP. :confused:

[Mythotical]

Quantnet.org: There is no drop down. The images will be displayed once you first upload them to your sponsors folder then go to ACP and add sponsor. From there it will start displaying.

powerful_rogue: Make sure you uploaded cpnav_tfw.xml to your includes/xml directory otherwise the menu will not appear. If you did that, refresh your ACP which will cause it to look for cpnav files from there it will display.

Also, give me a link to your site so that I can view your site and the source code to determine where your problem lies with the display.

[powerful_rogue]

Ive checked and double checked. Alll files uploaded correctly, however there is nothing in the ACP.

This (http://www.southeastkent.com/dovernew/) is my test site

[Mythotical]

powerful_rogue: you need to create the /sponsors/ directory in your root forum directory and chmod it to 0777. Set me up a test account on your site and PM me the details so that I can look to make sure the xml file appeared on your site.

[Quantnet]

Can this be used with OpenAds (phpAdNew) ?

[Mythotical]

Quantnet.org: Did you get your issues worked out?

How do you mean to use it? Such as if they sponsor your site then they will not be able to see ads or what?

[Quantnet]

I still have problem with the template. And I still don't see the Add Sponsor anywhere. Refresh the AdminCP, log in and out, no luck.

The OpenAds can give you ad zone where you know put it anywhere...and see how many view/clicks, etc

I PM you an account on my site so you can take a look at my template.
Thanks

[Mythotical]

KK, I will take a look right quick.

[Mythotical]

If you could assign that account admin permissions so that I can look at your admin area for the xml stuff.

[Quantnet]

I make that account Admin with permission to access to styles. I think it should be good ? If you need other access, let me know.
Thanks

[Mythotical]

Ok got the display issue fixed.

Now I need you to grant me full access to ACP, just need it for about 15 mins so I can check to see if the xml file shows for me.

[Quantnet]

Done. I saw the table fixed.
Permission granted.
When i go to /admincp/tfw.php I can see the file is there and it shows a table with columns
URL Image Image Type Title

But nothing else

[Mythotical]

Ok I think I know the problem. Gonna do a fix and reupload.

[Mythotical]

Ok updated to 1.2.1

Download and upload only the files, don't worry about the product xml file.

[Mythotical]

Quantnet.org: Ok I refreshed and now the TFW Sponsor menu is there. Enjoy.

Everyone: Installation instructions have been updated.

[Quantnet]

Quantnet.org: Ok I refreshed and now the TFW Sponsor menu is there. Enjoy.

Everyone: Installation instructions have been updated.

Thanks.
You should be more specific on how to add new Sponsor. What format is the URL use for ? http://... ?

Image ? is it full path to the image in sponsors folder ?
Why the image type for ? .gif ? or gif ?

I added one sponsor and when i click on Edit that sponsor, it goes no where....jus empty there.

[Quantnet]

In the instruction, you should mention that to add /sponsors/ folder under forum and upload the images there. I still have problem adding/edit/delete sponsors...Can you take a look ?

[Mythotical]

I plan to create an html page for installation later on.

When entering the URL, just put www.domain.com, the www is required otherwise it will break the link.

For the image you just need to put the image file name, such as TFW.gif or Quan.gif

Image Type I plan to drop as that might not be needed for the next phase of the mod but not sure yet. For now just put image/gif for .gif, image/jpeg for .jpg or .jpeg, image/png for .png

Hmmm, shouldn't be empty. I will check that out.

[Mythotical]

Ok I know the problem, unfortunately I have to head off to bed. I gotta work for 4 hours in the morning so after that I will get this fixed and probably add a few features and get 1.3 released.

[SLY LS1]

SLY LS1: Did you import product-tfw_sponsors.xml via Product Manager?

I sure did.. ive added heaps of hacks b4..

Im just checking my database with mysql to see if the table is there

[Mythotical]

Ok, if the table is not there then I will look into a fix tomorrow.

[SLY LS1]

Ok i can see the error

MySQL Error : Table 'tough4_forum.vbtfw_sponsors' doesn't exist

it should be looking for

Table 'tough4_forum.tfw_sponsors' doesn't exist

without the "vb"

[Quantnet]

I used phpAdmin to manually fix the data table...and the first sponsor show up.

I'd look forward to the next version where it looks like TAZ....Has description on top of the picture, fully phrased so we can edit the title from AminCP, center, bold, etc

[SLY LS1]

I used phpAdmin to manually fix the data table...and the first sponsor show up.




did you just add the "vb" to the table name ?

[Mythotical]

'vb' is your table prefix SLY, I suggest checking to make sure that is your table prefix.

My server is getting DDoS'd again so now I have no sites to work on my mods, hopefully my host will fix this kid soon so he will stop DDoSing my site.

yeah in myadmin the table is only showing up as "tfw_sponsors" so I will add the "vb" and see if that fixes the problem

[Quantnet]

My feature requrest would be for forums that has separator between forum like my forum, the Sponsor will be wrapped inside a table like a regular forum.

on TAZ, there is a black border 1px around each picture. Can this be done as well ? It should be done via the template right ?

Options where we can choose how many ads per row, column.

[SLY LS1]

Ok fixed the database issue by adding the "vb' to the table name...

It should automaticly do that by itself!

Now I created a sponsor to test it out, BUT now I can not edit that sponsor, I click edit and get a blank page ?

So I thought id try the delete page, But that seams to only have half the info on it ?

[SLY LS1]

I can see what the issues are but im not sure how to fix them.

It makes the 1st sponsor number "0"

If you try to add another it doesnt start to count up as in making the next sponsor number 1 then2 etc etc

It trys to make it number "0" as well so you get another database error

Theres a few bugs to sort out here...

Just go to "manage products" and disable it, that will turn it off for now and get your site back up.

also post up the Database error its giving you... id say the table doesnt have the prefix, as mine didnt.

[Mythotical]

Could I ask that everyone please go here and post their feature requests so that I can keep track of them better?

TFW Sponsors (http://www.theforumworks.com/project.php?projectid=4)

I will try to get as many feature requests from this thread done but post there to make sure I don't miss any.

Thanks
Steve

[Mythotical]

Also, please edit your database entries of tfw_sponsors, delete entry sid of '0'.

[Mythotical]

My server is getting attacked again and has been for the past 3 hours. I am currently trying to get this resolved so I can finish work on the mod. Sorry for the delay.

[Quantnet]

thanks for the heads up, Steve. We'll wait ;)

Your host is really messed up.

[Mythotical]

Update for everyone, 1.3 is nearing completion. I have a few more alterations and features then it will be completed.

BTW, we got the DDoS issue fixed and they gave me instructions on preventing this kid from taking my sites down again when he starts to attack again.

[Mythotical]

Wait till you see 1.3, I have added a few good features. 1 feature I'm gonna add in v1.4 which you will find out upon release which feature that is.

[Quantnet]

please don't tease. I have checked this every 5 minutes.

When are you releasing 1.3 ?????????????????

[Mythotical]

I will be releasing it in about 20 mins.

I've still gotta update the install instructions and the zip file. Finishing off the new features now.

[adc-arab]

Quantnet.org i think u should wait till the next version

edit: aweosme didn't see that 20 mins :D

[Mythotical]

Next version is what he is waiting for, this has quite a few bug fixes as well as a few new additions. I am adding the image upload then it should be done.

[adc-arab]

awesome :D i hope the Options where to display and Turn on/off for guests is on that version :D

anyway i clicked installed ;p

[Mythotical]

Yes display options are there, now I went ahead and added usergroup permissions instead of just for one usergroup so you can limit any usergroup you wish.

Thanks, now enjoy this new version. I probably won't be updating it for a few days unless problems with it arise.

:) Steve

[adc-arab]

awesome thx alot i gonna install it now can't wait till i see it working the screenshot is really awesome :D i gonna trans it to arabic frist :D thx alot steve

[Quantnet]

Your mod is pretty prone to any wrong edit. I have lot of database errors when I enter something wrong in the edit sponsor.

I added one sponsor, somehow the image didn't show up. if I enter x.gif, instead of links directly to ./forum/sponsors/x.gif, it links to ./sponsors/x.gif

also can i vew the sponsors on the header i wonna it above the navbar

[adc-arab]

also can u remove the white background for the sponsors box and the click button i don't wanna show it to ppl only for admin or not viewing it

[Quantnet]

The box should be more like a forum with background alt1 or alt2, collapsable,

[Quantnet]

When select position.

WOL put the box at the bottom
Forum messed up the forum home -> WOL part is now displayed on top of the page
Navbar does not show anything...

You should make a drop down instead of let people type in...less typos...

[SLY LS1]

Steve, do you have version v1.3 running on your own site without any issues ?

[SLY LS1]

1. Yeah another error when editing a sponsor

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'sclicks' in 'field list'

2. Deleting seems to work ok now...

3. Adding a sponsor works but now nothing is showing up..

4. You really need to add an instruction page with the download

5. Surely you are running/testing it on your own site before releasing it?

now it gaves me this error...

MySQL Error : Unknown table 'vb_tfw_sponsors'

Could you please do something that instead of tryin to modify the vb_tfw_sponsor if it doensn't exist it create a new table?

Cause I dont' have that table in my db...thats why I cannot neither uninstall it or upgrade it.

thanks a lot!

I managed to get it to show image by not leading with a path... hope that helps someone...

However, once displayed in forums and you click on image, I get:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE `tfw_sponsors` SET sclicks=sclicks + 1 WHERE sid='4';

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'sclicks' in 'field list'

For some reason, it will accept a new entry, but as soon as you go back to test an existing entry, it starts giving database errors. In trying to figure out what it wants in the fields, I have been only able to get this far by adding new entires, then deleting them to start over with new tests, as the edit doesn't seem to work all....

Has anyone got this working? :erm:

UNINSTALLED ...........

Besides all of the errors, we found that it corrupted our VBadvanced Home Page "News" display. For some reason, when this mod is turned ON, it creates an inability to find attachment images, when turned OFF, the "News" display instantly returns to normal. The news display slideshow I'm referring to can be seen here: www.milsurps.com

Anyway, nice idea , but I'm not sure it's ready for prime time, although thanks for the coder's efforts... :up:

Can anyone recommend another mod that can do something similar to this, locating a sponsor page at the bottom of the Forum Home Page?

how did you uninstall it?

Most of the issues should have been fixed in 1.3
The mod is an independent mod so it is not supported by nor possibly integratable with vBAdvanced. The issue may be something to do with your vBAdvanced settings. For News/recent posts make sure you select a category instead of it just pulling things from all categories as it may be reading the Sponsors as a whole other Forum Category, which it should not be

[BadgerDog]

how did you uninstall it?

There were no instructions on how to remove it, so I simply used the standard AdminCP function for un-installng the XML file, then deleted all of the uploaded files that came with the mod. There was some vague references in the INSTALL.TXT file about the FORUMHOME template, but it seemed to be related to what the author called "upgrading". Since I never did those template mods, I never bothered with the FORUMHOME template as the hack didn't seem to be in it anyway.... :)

Badger

[Quantnet]

Give Steve some time,
He will come up with the fix in the new version.

for those who looking for a similar mod, you can look at this one https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152350

It was v1.3 that I installed and the errors I was getting seem to be the same as everyone else was reporting, so I think there's something else wrong.

As far as the News Forum negative effects, it's a simple mod based upon the Joomla java code and this mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=139529

The News Reader mod is ONLY reading from one forum which doesn't have anything to do with the TFW implementation.

Whatever the TFW mod is doing, it's definitely interacting badly with the News Reader mod, creating an error message:

Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /modules/mod_fpslideshow.php on line 281

That line is attempting to read attachments in posts and it works fine unless TFW is turned ON, then the error starts. To be honest, I really don't want to spend a lot of time figuring it out, as it's not a religious experience. :D

The News Reader mod is excellent for our forums and works fine now, so it's easier for me to find some kind of a sponsor mod (or commercial add-on) that does what TFW does.

Thanks for the feedback... appreciate it... :up:

Everyone please be patient, I do need to sleep, I do have to work.

Yes I run this mod on my test site, I don't understand where the problem could be coming from when I have been running it fine. I will double check that I included the right xml file.

With regards to your news reader mod, I will attempt to modify my code to work with that mod. I will have to get ahold of it and install it so that I can properly test it.

If you click install then you will know when I have released the fix for this. I am gonna try to get it done before I head to work or as soon as I get off tonight.

[Mythotical]

Testing new version now.

[hardiono]

I got this message when trying to change option in usergroup

Please help.

[Mythotical]

That is from another mod, check to make sure your chatbox is fully installed.

That means when your installed your chatbox it didn't add that column for the usergroup permission of your chat. I suggest you uninstall it or check where you downloaded that mod to make sure there is not an update.

[Mythotical]

I have released the updated version. If you had errors please download the new version and overwrite your existing product install.

Tonight I will be working on a work around for the news mod issue.

[Quantnet]

Still have problem with custom style. WOL put it below WOL
Forum put it on top of WOL but it broke the style
Navbar did not display.

[principino1984]

Could you please make one version that doesn't have to DROP the table? Cause with the first version you uploaded and that I installed it didn't create anyt table..so anytime I try to overwrite the old one i get this DB error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Or, at least let me know what can I do to uninstall the 1.2 version i've on.

I'll appreciate it.

thanks a lot
Marco

edit: nevermind.. .i solved it creating a table called vb_tfw_sponsors by myself and it let me uninstal then....

[Mythotical]

Its the fact that its not creating the table. That was the only problem. Glad you got it fixed though.

Quantnet.org: I will take a look at it tonight.

[SLY LS1]

Ok version 1.3.1 is getting there, I have it installed and it seems to work fine "except" a couple of little bugs

1. The link doesn't redirct to the sponsors URL

2. It changes Capitals to 1st letter capital only in description, that could be a pain if your trying to display something like "LS1" it shows as "Ls1"

Oh steve, can you alter this in your instal instructions, number 7 as its not very clear "cant you put the setting in the "TFW Sponsors" drop down list instead of the "vBulletin Options" ?

If you cant do that I would change it from

7. Edit your vBulletin Settings for TFW Sponsors

I would say should read

7. Go to your 'vBulletin Options" in your "ACP" and find "TFW Sponsors" to turn the sponsors on.

[SLY LS1]

whoops no, still a problem editing a sponsor

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'sclicks' in 'field list'

Line 29 of sponsors.php

[waller99]

whoops no, still a problem editing a sponsor

Still same problem here, too.

[Mythotical]

For those with errors of sclicks, you need to reimport the xml file included otherwise you will continue to get that error.

[Mythotical]

There will be no final version, this will continue to be developed. The link redirection should be working fine, I will make sure I didn't give you my test file. Not sure on the capitalization issue.

I will get started on 1.3.2.

[Mythotical]

Quantnet.org: Your problem was one I had to fix manually as your using a heavily modified style. Now I'm gonna redo the mod to look for specific code and at the same time I'm gonna try to make a remove file that will remove all instances of the plugins and products.

Everyone else: I am gonna work on the current fixes, I hope to have it solved by tomorrow about noon.

principino1984: this mod automatically alters your templates. You have to import the product xml file overwriting enabled otherwise it will error out and you will still have the remaining version on your site.

[adc-arab]

hi steve ^^ i tried to uninstall TFW and i have this problem on my admin panel i still see TFW options see screenshot

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=67430&stc=1&d=1185258787

[Mythotical]

You need to remove the xml files from includes/xml directory. That will remove the options, but if you are reinstalling then removing that file you don't have to worry about.

[adc-arab]

k thx alot steve and i'm waiting for ur update take ur time ur mod is really great and i love it ;)

edit: one more thing :p can u add an option to show the Sponsors on the header :) ( lol i asked alot XD)

[Mythotical]

Thanks, I will hopefully have 1.3.2 ready tomorrow with a few fixes and alterations to how things are set. I am gonna try to add a custom settings page so that would make it easier.

BadgerDog: Unfortunately the news mod you have installed requires me to pay for it which I don't have the funds at this time to purchase and install along with the vBa addon for it. Therefore I will not be able to create a work around for it. I do apologize, if you wish, enable TFW Sponsor, take a screenshot of the news mod as its not working then post that, I should be able to get a pretty good idea of the problem from there so I might be able to make a work around for it that way, otherwise, I am sorry.

EDIT: If you like my mod please nominate for MOTM, trust me, it will only get better from here on out and I wish to see at least one of my mods get voted for MOTM.

[adc-arab]

clicked :p just hurry up and do the fixs :p and the header option on where to show it :p

[Mythotical]

Where to show is done, I am gonna redo it all so its on its own custom settings page leaving out vBulletin Options stuff, makes it easier for using radio buttons instead of drop down. Trust me, this next version might become 1.4 by the time I'm done. :D

[Quantnet]

Steve,
Clicked MOTM.

My suggestions:

Drop the Click idea. I will be using OpenAds code there so i can track the stats instead of having the Clicks shown.

I edited the template bit to remove it.

You should look at this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152350
and maybe incorporate some ideas into your mod. Something like highlighted when mouse hover the ads?

[waller99]

Still the same error. I uploaded the newest xml file too. I get this error when I click on the banner. Also I get a similar error when I try and edit the banner in the admincp.

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE `vbtfw_sponsors` SET sclicks=sclicks + 1 WHERE sid='8';

[Mythotical]

waller: I'm gonna see if somehow its not getting inserted properly or something.

Everyone: Clicks I think I will make optional where as the person can click yes to use and it will use the click program otherwise it will just redirect without adding a click count.

BadgerDog: I believe there is vbSponsor, check it out, it does pretty much the same as mine but I think it has less options.

Quantnet.org: I took a look at the mod you pointed out, I decided that I will not add any of those type of features just yet. I want to get a more stable release before I go to add any big features like that. Thanks for the suggestion tho, I will say its accepted.

The error you are receiving is not one that we can replicate on a test forums. You must be upgrading it incorrectly. My suggestion is uninstall the product completely, delete files that you uploaded it for this, and re-install it all over again. The issue you are receiving is due to the upgrade not going correctly on your end.

[BadgerDog]

Thanks, I'll check it out.... :up:

BTW, I re-installed your latest version as a test and it still has conflicts with attachments, for whatever reason.

I'll check back now and then for subsequent versions....

Badger

[Mythotical]

Cool, hope one of the releases works for you, not sure why its killing attachments but I will investigate on that definately.

[principino1984]

when u think you'll publish a 2.0 stable version?

[Yours]

a 2.0 stable version might be a bit off as we are working on our dedicated server amongst a few other projects. There will be a 2.0 stable version out, but we cannot put a specific time frame on it as of yet.

[Mythotical]

I will get a new version released as soon as I have time to get more work done on it which I hope to have this weekend.

[Ftu-forum]

Hi man, this mod is what i need
So, would you please help to bring this mod to Portal system, like Vbnews or Vbadvanced :)
Thanks

[Mythotical]

Sorry, things came up that prevented me from working on this further. I will continue working on this tomorrow.

[ReadOrDie]

This isn't showing up for me. I installed it correctly, enabled it in VB options and enabled it for the usergroups. However I see no change on my forum page...Any ideas?

[principino1984]

any news?

[Mythotical]

That means you have removed a necessary variable in the template that is required for it to display. Do you have a custom style installed?

Unfortunately, with me working 2 jobs, its hard for me at this time to work on mods. I will try to get to it within the week.

[Yours]

As Steve said he is having issues with real life with his 2 jobs as he is busy so the mod may be a bit later than expected. We will make sure to get a final version out for you and hopefully keep updating this!

[M Shaker]

installed.

[principino1984]

any news?

[welovehiphop]

I have it working showing on my forum main page, but want the sponsors showing in each post ?

[welovehiphop]

another issue, its installed on the forum home page, but when people click the sponsors it redirects them back to our home page and not the intended link

[Mythotical]

Sorry about the absence, I am back now. I have finally found a doable time frame for me to work on code and still spend time with my kids. I won't be releasing mods as quickly as I was but I will still release them, if an emergency update is needed I will get it up ASAP and remove the old zip file.

welovehiphop: Did you add a link to the sponsor when you added it via ACP?

[tyomka1]

Very nice mod. Thanks

[Mythotical]

Will be reworking this mod starting tomorrow.

[batmandr]

I have installed the TFW as explained in txt...yet i cannot see the sponsors on the page.

is there any assistance as to troubleshooting? or direction for exact configurations? i am new to this and have the site ready except for the sponsrs section.

any help is appreciated...thanks.

[Mythotical]

I will attempt to get a new version released in the next couple of days.

[soletrader]

any updates?

[Mythotical]

Sorry, nothing as of yet, I've been swamped with the holiday season and such. I'm trying to get alot of my mods updated as well as concentrate on other things at hand.

Just keep checking back, I hope I'll be able to get it done real soon.

Cheers
Steve

[xangelx]

I have this installed and semi working, the problem is the pic refuses to show and there is no clickable link

[Mythotical]

Ok what version of vb you running?

[christi78]

My only issue is that it is not displying any place I ask it to. I have even turned off the plugin and manually edited forumhome, navbar and other and still get nothing to display the admin side works fine and I have no SQL errors so I am at a loss.

[Mythotical]

christi, what version of vb do you have installed?

[Mythotical]

Official Announcement: I have started to rework TFW Sponsors to become SponsorIt!. It will have the same features as now but it will have some extra features. After all of the people posting stating that there are problems with it displaying, I decided to redo it now. I should have a good prime stable version pounded out in a few days. Look for the update email when the new version is released.

[christi78]

Thanks Steve :) I will be looking forward to it

Great... I'll wait then for the Update to Test it!! :up:

[Mythotical]

Also, I plan to release the 3.6.x version first then begin testing on 3.7 so when it goes gold this will work with it.

[christi78]

I will keep checking back as I love the idea of this mod if you need any help coding or testing let me know.

[Mythotical]

Ok I have resolved the issue of it not displaying, seems the settings I set forth canceled each other out or something, I might have gotten the settings mixed up.

Doing the following currently:
- Adding own settings page outside of vbsettings
- Adding image upload option instead of straight file system use
- Adding width/height option upon adding new sponsor
- Collapsible sponsor box
- Redoing redirect options and page

So far so good, still got a few things left to do to finish the revamp of the current mod then on to adding the above features.

Christi: Thanks, I appreciate the offer, once I release it here, if you can test it to the extreme and post up all errors/bugs then that will be alot of help.

[christi78]

as soon as you post the code I will test it and test it some more to make sure everything is in order. I run on 3.6.8 but also have a board on 3.6.4 which is upgrading to 3.7 soon.

[inciarco]

I'll Test the New Update too on my Test Forum, that has vB 3.6.7 PL1, as soon as you Publish the Update, and I'll share with you the Results!! :up:

My Best Regards!! ;)

[Mythotical]

Great, my concern is 3.7

[Mythotical]

Well I ran into a problem getting the image upload option to work properly, currently working on fixing it. Trying to make it have option for using file system for sponsor images or database. Downfall to that is if you switch between the 2 after having images already set in say database, they won't be transferred to file system.

In a Mod made by Cybernetec (Flash-Image Banner Rotator), thas Hack works only with Files Uploaded in the Database, and works Fine (I have it with almost 200 Banners of 50Kb each and works really good and Fast)!! ;) :rolleyes:

Cyb - Flash-Image Banner Rotator
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=131254

I think Storing the Banners in the DataBase is a Good Option, but if you can Work Both Options, for Very Very Large Banners this could Help the Database Backup to be Less Large and Faster to Create, (won't be my Case, I prefer to use Light Banners so that they can Load Fast)!! ;) :rolleyes:

I think you should Release your First Next Update with the Database Storage Option, and in your Second Next Update Provide the Other Option (to Store Files in a Folder of the Server with 777 Permissions)!! ;)

Me Too!! :up:

[inciarco]

OOPS My Bad!! :o:o:o I just remembered that Cybernetec's Mod uses Links to Uploaded Images instead of Uploading them to the Database, so it's more like the way you're using it right now, so it's functional to still using the sponsors Folder to store the Files and to FTP them; if you can add the option to upload images from the Computer would be Great!! ;)

I also noticed that there's a Bug in the Current Image, because my Forums are located in zzz.com/foros and the image displayed points to zzz.com/sponsors/image.gif so it doesn't point to the right location of it.

Another Bug: The URL has to be included without the "http://", because otherwise that text is duplicated at the beginning of the Link and when opening causes that Error.

Perhaps you can consider providing other Locations to place the Sponsors like also Above the Navbar!! ;)

Also would be great to be able to see the Sponsors in other selected Forums, and if desired in the threads inside them(numbers of forums separated by commas), so that sponsors can be displayed in those forums and as optional could be to see them on the threads, so that sponsors are fully covered in the selected forums additionally to the Main Page)!! ;) Read the Next Phrase because it adds some ideas that apply to this Global option but to each sponsor, and I think that other option would be more than Great!! ;)

For other future Uploads you can consider to add a field to each sponsor so that the user can include the list of the number of the forums to display the sponsor, so that some sponsors could be displayed in selected forums. Other additional yes/no option could be provided to choose if sponsor should be displayed in Main Page. Other additional yes/no option could be provided to choose if sponsor should be displayed in the Theads. So that way you have complete control on where each sponsor will be displayed and also if any sponsor will be displayed in the Threads, so the user can personalize this according to the sponsor needs or the specific forums and pages the sponsor would like to be displayed!! ;););) (that would be GUAU S?per Great!! :up:)

If you make box collapsible would be good to specify wich usergroups users can collapse the sponsors' Box; would be nice too to have a query to set the collapsed option to "No" and force that way any desired time to be shown; there's a Mod called "Did you know ...?" that has that option with the Tips Box; would be great that the query can be executed via Admin Control Panel with a Link provided by you!! ;)

My Best Regards!! ;)

My only issue is that it is not displying any place I ask it to. I have even turned off the plugin and manually edited forumhome, navbar and other and still get nothing to display the admin side works fine and I have no SQL errors so I am at a loss.

Perhaps you should check in Admin Control Panel -> vBulletin Options -> TFW Sponsors - > that the Option "Enable/Disabled TFW Sponsors" is set to "Yes"; I noticed that by Default is set to "No"!! ;)

Other thing could be that you didn't uploaded some File or Folder, so would be good to upload them again!! ;)

I've tested it in vB 3.6.7!! ;)

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

[christi78]

Yeah I already got this fixed and displying correctly. I have been working on the upload issue as stated above to modify the current version and keep geeting an SQL error with 3.6.4 which is my test board. It works fine under my 3.6.8 as I based it on the photoplog code for the image to SQL.

[ajm4481]

clicks install sexi stuff

www.koomid.com

[Mythotical]

LOL

Inciarco: Thanks for those suggestions, after my trip to AZ, I will get back on top of this mod and will check out your suggestions. Right now with new features, I will do more features once I have released 2.0

Christi: Good to hear

ajm4481: Thanks

To All: The problem with how I was doing it was using vBulletin settings stuff, instead I'm using my own settings table and query which will help out alot for me when providing an upgrade script. There will be a custom install script so no need to import a plugin, no template edits, nothing more than uploading the install script and browsing to it. All I can say is I hope you all enjoy the new features and all the great stuff that I have put into this new version.

[inciarco]

Great Steve M!! :up::up::up:

I'll be Very Happy to Test the New Version!! :up::up::up:

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

[Mythotical]

Thanks inciarco

UPDATE: I am close to getting the image upload to work, it will use the file system to upload to instead of the database, I think that would be the best option. Just waiting on a reply in my thread here regarding a small problem I'm having. Collapsible box now added as well, gonna add 2 more locations for the box to appear, left column or right column so I am looking forward to how the left/right column part works out.

[inciarco]

Remember also the Above Navbar Location; you can see in the Mod of Cybernetes, of Advanced Forum Statistics, All the Locations he Offers in that Mod to Place the Statistics; is very Flexible, would be Great to have those same Locations in your Mod!! ;)

Locations:

1. Above Forums
2. Below Navbar
3. Below Forums
4. Below "What's Going On" Box

and I'd Add Two More Options:

5. On Header (Displayed in all Pages of the Forum)
6. On Footer (Displayed in all Pages of the Forum)

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

[Mythotical]

Inciarco: Considering my settings are called globally, I can probably swing adding the header and footer part to appear on all pages.

[Mythotical]

UPDATE before my trip: I got the computer to web folder upload feature working, works great. All that is left is to do the delete part, and the edit part then a few more tweaks before release. Look for it in about a week, I will be gone for 4 days on a trip.

[Mythotical]

UPDATE: Ok the header/footer display is working except the color formating isn't working. Edit/Delete parts are about 50% done.

EDIT to UPDATE: header/footer display working perfect and on all pages. Edit/Delete pages not displaying image. Option to change image removed since the upload file option is there. Will release 2.0 version then work on editing image by uploading new image.

[inciarco]

Great Steve M!! I'll be Waiting for the Update File to Test it!! :up:

Hi All,
thanks for the mod.
I've installed my first VB today and i've installed this mod too.

I've changed a template and I want to insert the banner in my vb like http://www.techzonept.com/

Cool :)

puritan: This mod is not meant to be used as a banner rotation system. Its meant as a way to display sponsors who help out with your site.

[Mythotical]

I also ask that if you download the mod to please click install if you have it on your website.

[inciarco]

I don't know if is an Error on my Test Forum (I needed to create a new fresh one and only Today I could Test it), but I'm getting the Following Errors (Bugs??) :confused: :(

1. I don't find the Sponsor It Settings in the vBulletin Options List.
2. When Changing the Settings of the Mod, and Pressing Save, they're not Saved.
3. Sponsors Don't Edit, I'm redirected to the Error Page of my Forum (it happens when a Wrong Link is Followed).
4. Same Error happens when trying to Delete an Sponsor.
5. I can Create an Sponsor, but Image is Uploaded in the Server (I Prefer in the Folder), but I can't change the Options because of Error #2 of this List.
6. I didn't find the Width/Height Option in the Settings.

I haven't been able to Test it further because of those Errors, so is Important that someone that is Testing this Mod could Confirm if is experiencing the same Errors.

Would be Good that you Upload the Previous Version of the Mod, for Forumers to Compare, and to use Previous Version until this New one if Finished!! :rolleyes:

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

[Mythotical]

The new one is finished. LOL

1. There is no more vBulletin Options, I stated that earlier, it has its own set of options via SponsorIt > Settings
2. Are you changing one setting or all settings?
3. I probably put the wrong link in there, I will double check that
4. Same as #3 above
5. Images are not uploaded to server, they look like it but in fact they are stored in your file system, check your images/sponsors folder or whatever folder you set in the options
6. Width/Height options were left out on Add/Edit pages by accident, I will get that version out ASAP.

My question to you, what version of vBulletin are you running? What version of PHP and MySQL?

Cheers
Steve

[inciarco]

vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1
MySQL 4.1.20
PHP 4.3.11

[inciarco]

I confirm the Previously Mentioned Bugs!! :( :confused:

The Mod has Bugs, you need to Check Your Coding and Make Installation Tests in vB 3.6.7 PL1 and vB 3.6.8!! :confused: :(

I've Installed Again the Previous Version and that Version allow to Set On/Off the Mod, but this New Version don't Save the New Setting!! :confused: :(

I recommend that You Upload Again the Previous Version of your Mod for the Forumers to be able to Use it, because that was a Stable Version!! :rolleyes:

I Hope You can correct the Bugs and Present a Stable Version of this Great Mod!! ;)

You're in the Right Path Steve M, the Presentation and Options, are really Improved; now is Important that it Works Fine!! :rolleyes:

My Best Regards!! ;)

Need some help we having serious d base prob.

We are using the old tmf and upgrade to sponsors. Now we have d-base problems,

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'language.phrasegroup_sponsors' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Prob, we can't uninstall sponsers or fix it to run.

thanks

Inciarco, the mod was built using PHP 5 and MySQL 5, I don't have a PHP 4 enviroment to build on otherwise I would test it. Also, the previous version was not stable as it was erroring out, thats why I built this new version. I will run as many tests as I can, I will try to get a friend of mine who has PHP 4 to run it and see if they have the same problems. BTW, I have built this mod using 3.6.x and tested on 3.7 so its your PHP version not the vB version.

wim s, I will check to make sure its actually adding the phrasegroup.

I Hope You can Code it to Work with PHP 4 and MySQL 4, Steve M!! :( :o

I Like a Lot this Mod, and Would Like to be Able to Test it in my Test Forums!! :rolleyes: :(

I Send You My Best Regards, and Hope For an Update that I Can Use in My Community and with my Data Base and PHP Configuration!! ;)

Edit:

Other Bug I Found on the Application, now that I see the Post of wim s, is that the New Version of the Mod don't Uninstall Completely; It leaves some Admin Fields such as the New "Settings" Option in the Admin Control Panel, even if I Uninstall this New Version and Reinstall the Old One!! :confused: :(

I Hope You Can Develop the Version Compatible with my Server PHP and My SQL Versions, to Share with You More Feedback; for Now I Can Only Use the Old Version!! :confused: :(

My Best Regards!! ;)

Good News, Steve M!! :up:

I think that could be good for you to create a New Test Forum (3.6.7 PL1 and/or 3.6.8), and make a Fresh Install, Tests, and also the Uninstall of your Mod, so that you can Verify that in a Fresh New Install (not in the Forum where You're Developping the Mod), Errors Appear, which is the case of us all Users that are Installing and Unistalling Your Mod for the First Time!! ;) (Perhaps that way the Errors we're sharing with you will appear in your Tests) :rolleyes:

Its not a matter of a fresh install or not, its a matter of the PHP version. Let me see if I can get a fresh install setup on a friends php4 enviroment otherwise I will have to run the enviroment on my own CPU.

While a New Enhanced and Functional Version of the Update is Released, perhaps some Persons would like to Check the Following Mod that manages Affiliates; perhaps that Mod could provide some Lights to Steve M for a Future Update of this Mod:

If You Authorize me I Can Attach it to a Message, but is Better that you Attach it on the Mod Presentation as a Previous Version of it!! ;) :rolleyes:

[maidos]

i cant add the images via admincp my image path is forum/sponsors/tidwah.gif
and its chmoded to 777

[Mythotical]

Images are not added via AdminCP via 1.3.1 version, its only in 2.0 version and right now 2.0 version is being worked on to clear up errors on PHP4 enviroments.

[maidos]

is there a timeframe until the official release?
does it work with php5
how can i add images for the sponsors...

[Mythotical]

Instructions were included with the 1.3.1 release, please refer to those for instructions on adding images.

There is no official time frame for the 2.0 release as I still have not gotten a PHP4 environment setup, I will have that this weekend though. And yes 2.0 will work with PHP5, thats the environment it was built around.

[maidos]

like my previous msg i uploaded it on sponors directory and chmoded it... so it means i already uploadd the images via ftp.
and i followed the instructions already and given the images path to /forum/sponsors/tidwah.gif

and i couldnt find any other instructions to add images

[Mythotical]

Ok did you make sure you specified the correct path when adding the sponsor?

Also, is your sponsor box showing where you specified?

[maidos]

yes i made sure i did made the correct path.
the sponsor does show the name but just not the images

[Leo Brazil]

Sorry for the newbie question but before installing it I was wondering how I can target the ads to the right places.

Features:
Adds custom sponsors box to either above your Forums, below your Navbar, below the Forum, below the What's Going On box, Header (all pages), Footer (all pages)

I mean, how can I target individual different ads to differnte areas just like informed in mod features ?

Jan suggested a forum ID, that would be nice for sure.

I have one as well, how about postbits ads with IDs too ? This way we could post an specific ad for specific threads or categories.

Cheers

[MnTom]

I have another newbie question. I have installed it and got the ad to show where it is supposed to, BUT, I can't seem to make an image appear. I have tried everything I can think of and just get a grey box where the ad should be. Does the image need to be a .gif, or a .jpg, or something else? I put an image in my forum/sponsor folder, but can't get anywhere. Ideas as to where I am screwing up?
Tom

[MnTom]

I figured it out, but how do I get rid of the click counter under the ad? Also how do I change the color of the back ground? Disregard, I went to something else.

Having problems with it not showing up in my forum home. When I go to add a new sponsor my image is not even showing up.

2.0 is not working and can not be uninstalled. This is our problem.

From 2.0 to 1.3.2?

I am really interested in this mod but before I try to install would anyone be so kind to explain to me this step:

3. chmod /sponsors/ to 0777 (in some cases you will just do 777)

THANK YOU! :)

[Mythotical]

iogames: 2.0 was removed almost a month ago, 1.3.1 was added in its place. 2.0 is undergoing further testing and maybe a new feature or 2.

CLF: when viewing your FTP, you right click the folder, go to properties, in some cases you right click and find CHMOD, then change that to 777. HTH

Cheers
Steve

[SLY LS1]

Updated to 1.3.2 and im still getting database error when clicking link on forumhome and trying to edit sponsor ?

[LauraM]

Can you make it so the sponsor ads can go on the sides of the forums?

[Mythotical]

SLY LS1: You need to provide the db error, vb version, php/mysql version if you would please.

Thank you so much, Steve! Let me try... :)

KK, let me know if you figured it out. If not, let me know your FTP program and I will write a small tutorial for you to follow to chmod.

Any updates on this? Is it working yet?

[Mythotical]

Time on this mod has ceased temporarily.

[Welshy2008]

Installation:
1. Unzip to local drive
2. Upload all contents to your forum directory
3. chmod /sponsors/ to 0777 (in some cases you will just do 777)
4. Import product-tfw_sponsors.xml via your Product Manager
5. Templates are edited automatically
6. Edit usergroups for those you wish to allow viewing of the sponsors area
7. Edit your vBulletin Settings for TFW Sponsors
8. When you add a new Sponsor, you must upload the sponsor image to your /sponsors/ directory.


Hi Guys - I think this is a great hack and I would like to add it to my forum. However, I am stumped what is meant by instruction 3, in bold, above.

Would someone explain to me what it is and how to do it please?


Many Thanks,

Welshy2008.

[Mythotical]

Using your FTP, right click the folder, go to CHMOD or Properties, change from 644 to 777.

[Welshy2008]

Thanks for the reply Steve. But I am still no of the wiser. :(

This one is over my head - I think.

Unless you'd be kind enough to install it for me? :p


Best Wishes,

Welshy2008.

[Mythotical]

Just PM an FTP login and FTP address and I will chmod it for ya. Thats all there is to it. You can install if you haven't already.

[Welshy2008]

Thank You Steve, You Have Mail.

[Welshy2008]

I cannot view pictures on there - They just show as a box within a box with a red 'X' with in that.

How can I correct this Please?
