Hi all, this short "how to" mod will allow you to practically place anything, anywhere you want in your forum.
This has been tested on vB3.8.6 but should work in any version
How it works
By adding a plug-in and creating an extremely simple PHP file in your forum folder you will be able to place the contents of that PHP file anywhere in your forum by using a variable like $includedphp.
Time Required
It takes about 2 minutes for the more experienced of you and no more than 10 minutes for a novice!
Of course the above times are without time added on for you fiddling around with the beautification of the placement (some html knowledge is needed for that as you will have to edit your template to add the variable and or surrounding CSS or tags)
All instructions are in the zip file
I'm not a coder or any HTML guru but will help as much as i can
Change History
Display Objects zip is a manual "how to" with two sample php files
30/05/2011 - product-object_placement.zip has an xml to create the plugins (4 of them) and 4 sample php files
