Affiliation Display

[TheInsaneManiac]

3.8.x version can be found HERE (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202853).

Do you have so many affiliates that you just can't keep them all together on one line? Then this modification is for you! It uses a marquee to display your affiliates in it's own box in the "What's Going On?" area. The marquee is set up to stop when you hover over an affiliate and start back up when you are no longer hovering over an affiliate.

Edit your affiliate links and images via the AdminCP.


Installation
1.) Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forums root directory.
2.) Import the product-adblockalert.xml.
3.) Use this code as a guideline to displaying your affiliates:
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com"><img src="http://www.yourimagelink.com/imagelink.gif" border="0"></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com"><img src="http://www.yourimagelink.com/imagelink.gif" border="0"></a>
4.) Mark Installed. =]


Upgrade
For 4.5 and above import the product and select Allow Overwrite.

For anything previous to 4.5 you need to copy your affiliation_code and gfxaffiliation_code somewhere safe, then uninstall the old product, and install the latest. From there just transfer your codes to the AdminCP.


Display Issues
Some styles may not display the product correctly or you may wish to move it to a completely different area of the FORUMHOME. If this is the case import the disable automatic template edits via the AdminCP.

You then will need to find the following code in your FORUMHOME template:
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$upcomingevents</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</if>

Add after:
$affiliation

If you wish to display it somewhere else within your FORUMHOME template then just place $affiliation anywhere you wish inside your FORUMHOME template.

I updated it. Just uninstall the old version, download the new one, and install it. If you want more space just add more &nbsp; to the code.

You have to edit your image/link locations in the AdminCP.

Where would you like it?

[Scarface Claw]

Yep I know this, and I did that.

I copied the default code over to the edit box, replaced the image locations and link targets and saved it.

Still displays nothing, in either my default style or my custom styles.

Download the hook version from the attachments and place $affiliation anywhere in the FORUMHOME template where you wish for your affiliates to be displayed.

How to move the box up?

By doing what I told Scarface Claw you can position it anywhere you wish.

[chronoshift]

is there anyway to get the links to not scroll and just appear normally?

[Scarface Claw]

Cheers bro

I'll let you know how I get on.

One think though, do I uninstall the previous version and then install the hook version.

Or do I install both?

[TheInsaneManiac]

I added a new product just for you. It is called product-affiliationnomarquee. You could also download product-affiliationnomarqueehook if you wish to display it in a different position on the FORUMHOME.

Cheers bro

Uninstall the previous version then install the hook version, if you installed both you would have two affiliation areas :D.

[Scarface Claw]

That's what I thought, bit it never hurts to check.

Good one bro, cheers.

Theoretically the var can be placed anywhere you wish, not just forum home, correct?

Correct, but it would stand out a little, considering I coded it for the FORUMHOME.

I didn't put anything and there are two x's marqueeing only in IE nothing shows up in firefox.

[TheInsaneManiac]

As I have said. You must change the link/image in the adminCP. How can you expect something to show up? It can't read your mind on what your affiliates are. You have to link to them.

[murdoc]

Hey man :P i installed your plugin and it will only work on 1 of the themes i have can you plz help

here is the EG http://gamerswastelands.co.za/index.php?styleid=20 there it is working but our main theme doesnt have the affiliates

Same problem im having it will only show on 1 theme

[TheInsaneManiac]

Same problem im having it will only show on 1 theme
It's searches for specific code and adds the affiliation after it. Some custom templates may not have this code, so download this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=83471&d=1215118708

and place $affiliation anywhere in the FORUMHOME template where you wish for your affiliates to be displayed.


How to I add the images to this?
AdminCP -> VBulletin Options -> Affiliation.


How do I change Affiliation to Affiliates?
Do a search for it in the phrases and change it.

[ExTincTi0N]

When I go to Acp -> vBulletin Options -> and Affiliation all that shows up is enable hack.

[BucWiLd]

great hack thanks

[TheInsaneManiac]

There should be a description that says "Click HERE" Click it and you will see where to change the information.

[ExTincTi0N]

Could you add a topsite section? So I can add it to another bar instead of the affiliates bar.

[zombietom]

can't get this to show up --i even tried the $affiliation and still a no show ...any suggestions

[zombietom]

Ok, got it to work --not showing on all themes but i can fix that --thanks and i marked installed.

I was referred here in hope of getting a solution to my problem:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/


By default, the statistics image shows and I don't want to use that one for the affiliation. I want to make my own and use that one instead; I just don't know where to edit that.

Also, where it says "Affiliation" I want to change that to something else as well...something more customized for my board.

[Nintendo-Daily]

Would someone please try assisting me in this matter? I really need help with this issue :)

[Nintendo-Daily]

Please...someone...I am going nuts here...

[Nintendo-Daily]

Bueller?...Bueller?...

Well, I figured part of it out myself...the image, which is edited in the "affiliation" template. If any of you know how to edit the text part (see image in post #36), that would be great.

Go to your admincp>>language and phrase>>phrase manager>> and look for Affiliation and put w/e you want in it hope I helped you...
THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE IMAGE THOUGH

Sorry about that, I thought I was subscribed to this thread, but for some reason no emails? Anyway it seems Luffy has helped you out with that.

Are you sure it doesn't work on 3.8? I do not run 3.8, however if you contribute a test board I will be more than happy to bring it to 3.8.

YAY!!! Thank you so much Monkey D Luffy :) I went to AdminCP => Languages & Phrases => Phrase Manager => Searched for the phrase "Affiliation" When I seached it, a global phrase for affiliation came up and I edited that to say what I wanted and it worked. Thanks again. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Well, however you guys made it, i can see the Affiliates row in the footer no problem but in the settings there is only one thing to enable the hack. Nothing to add affiliates. And the Mod Author didn?t really explain why it might not shows up.
:confused:
I am using the latest vB 3.7.4 PL1 btw.

[ExTincTi0N]

Anyway you can make a modification to this mod so I could have two of them one for affilaites another for gfx voting sites like phototop sites etc?

EDIT:
Version 2.0 has been released and I added your request as a feature.

Uninstall the old one and then install the new one. Your affiliation is saved in a phrase, so you will lose no data by uninstalling.

id would be better if there opens a new window, clicking the linkpic instead in the same window could this be changed and how? thanks

great hack. it would be nice to be able to install both xml's.

also, how can I move this above the forums? (and be able to move it back if I dont like the look or get negative feedback)

Why would there be a need for both XMLs at the same time?

Trust me, I've tried it in many different positions lol. It just doesn't work anywhere else as it looks out of place.

Yes this is quite simple actually, just add target="_blank" after the link like so:
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com" target="_blank">

[jlew24asu]

well maybe not both. but I would like to be able to turn on/off the scrolling feature.

LOL ok but do you mind if I give it a try? or are we stuck putting this where you think is best?

I didn't see you'd updated this so I had your old version installed. Even though I upgraded to 3.8.0 it still worked fine but I see you updated so I tried to update & now it won't accept this product at all. :(

Hi,


The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.8.0 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.7.0 / Incompatible with 3.7.9 and greater)

Do you have a vb 3.8.0 version?

[Eneswar]

This is not working for me, 1.1 version worked, but i got SQL error so i upgraded to 2.0 and it just isnt showing up. It does show up on the default style but not the one we use, I did try to add the $affiliation but still no go, still doesnt show up... What to do?

[Eneswar]

Anyone about the issue above? or can you just give me the version 1.1, cuz that worked...

[TheInsaneManiac]

I'm working on the 3.8 version and will implement the $affiliation back in once I have some free time. I have plans this weekend so here's a temporary fix. In your custom style make sure you have the following hook in your FORUMHOME:
$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos5]

If you do not find:
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$upcomingevents</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</if>

Add after:
$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos5]

I have updated the plugin to support $affiliation again. If it does not work for you PM me and I will provide you with the 1.1 version.

ALWAYS click the coders/authors name and view his/her mods released to see if they have it for the version you need ;) you can change that value in the xml install manually HOWEVER I would always look for your version 1st and then if none do a database backup and give it a go... if you want it that bad of course but regardless that is not a recommendation for inexperienced owners.

:) whoops, Google brought me to this one and then this threw me 4.0 - Now works on both 3.7.X and 3.8.X

Thanks for that :)

[TheLastSuperman]

:) whoops, Google brought me to this one and then this threw me

Thanks for that :)

No prob!

Just remember sometimes us coders unless it's a very drastic change will copy & paste the details from 3.6.x to 3.7.x to 3.8.x for the mods we put up... would be nice if someone would finally make a mod to streamline it all but we can wait can't we? Besides it seems if the details state that it works in 3.7 and 3.8 the author could have simply forgot to upload the new file or in fact it is similar but some code had to be revised for a newer version of vb.

Either way enjoy as this is a great hack IMO and I have found many uses for it and ways to incorporate into vB not just the what's going on area :D
