Yes I would really like to see it also.
I asked Sitepoint if they can release it here cause they already updated it to vb3 on their site but so far I did not get an answer. :-(

I'd love this for Vb 3 also.

Anyone sure it doesn't already work on 3 as is?

I'm not sure. I haven't really looked at what the vB2 version involves hacking wise because I never used that one.

Yeah - This would be great for VB3 - A "sponsors" image next to each individual forum...

I am also looking for this. I had it on 2.0 and was great.

A very easy solution exists here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=498800#post498800

But that doesn't work if you have a fresh install of vb3 at a given board....

I've seen this done somewhere else, i think its just a simple template edit.

No but it is not that difficult to make it work even on a fresh install. All you need to do is to add the 3 extra database columns in the 'forums' table as per the original instructions of the hack.


ALTER TABLE forum ADD sponsorname VARCHAR(100) not null AFTER cancontainthreads, ADD sponsorimg VARCHAR(100) not null AFTER sponsorname, ADD sponsorurl VARCHAR(255) not null AFTER sponsorimg


Then populate them with the correct values with a tool like phpmyadmin.

Barhopper: a template edit, that's all I did.

damn, sitepoint.com is slow on my side, so i can't see what you're talking about... anyway... there is another way to find out... on my site, i have built a complete sponsoring/banners system, but i can't advertise it here as it's not free... you can contact me for details...
