This hack will allow you to add an extra, unique header and footer for each forum. The header and footer will show up on the forum home page and on each thread within that forum. You can use HTML, so you can put in rotating banner code or anything you like.

It doesn't show on the home page since the headers/footers are forum specific. You can just edit your templates (FORUMHOME) to put a banner on the home page.

No, because the home page isn't a forum. It won't do anything. Just add the HTML directly to your FORUMHOME template right under the $header variable and right above the $footer variable.

Hope that helps :)

Hello ChurchMedia

Is there anyway you can modify this hack so that the header.gif image could be customise for each forum too? If this is an extra that would take some time I would more than happy to pay you for your time to customise this for me?

For example a field that you could type the location of the new image, ie header2.gif or something and that would replace it. Can this be done at all?

Thank you

Stuart
Yes, it can be done, but you could also just use HTML to bring up the image.

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/image/image.gif">

Let me know if you want a field-based hack with a variable you can place somewhere. It wouldn't be difficult to alter this hack to do that (you would just be limited to a single image as opposed to full HTML).

Take care,

floridaideal

Neat hack. Have you thought about extending it?

If combined with something like "AdColumns"
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62348
then vB3 would have unique sidebars for each forum.

And if you have unique sidebars for each forum, it would
be cool if they could be populated with standard content
modules such as those for vBadvanced or vBindex.

Yes, you could do that, but that (I suppose) is part of the changes you should do in your standard forum header (in the header profile). What this hack does, is to give you the ability to have a dedicated banner as an advertisement, in the top and the bottom of your forums. Have a look at my site (http://forum.m1911.org/).

Then scroll down until you find a forum called "Knives Store", and click on it.

(Note to moderators: My sites are not commercial, so I am not advertising here)

In there, when the page loads, you will see a banner below the words "This forum brought to you by". This is the banner that gets posted by this hack, in this particular forum. Of course, you can use the hack to alter your header, but I would assume you want the top part of your forum to be the same and fixed, so that your site is easily identifiable. Of course, this is your choice.

Kind regards

Sorry for not getting back to everyone on mod requests. I wasn't getting all of the replies by email for some reason. I'm having surgery next week and will be out of it for probably close to 2 months (hip replacement on a 34 year old - what a drag!). If anyone else wants to make mods to this hack and post them here, feel free. Otherwise, I'll get to it when I've recovered.

floridaideal: Sorry, I've been slammed with work. The easiest thing to do is to install the hack as-is and put this code in the header/footer fields to insert an image:

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/image/image.gif">

Just replace the url in between the quotes with the url to your image and you are good to go!

Spinball,

What exactly are you trying to do? Is it possible to create a template with the contents of your external html file? If yes, then create it and then you go in global.php, and find

// misc useful

Above that add something like

'sponsorspanel',

in between the list you see there. Then, go into your phpinclude_start template and add a line like

eval('$sponsorspanel = "' . fetch_template('sponsors_panel') . '";');

Then, you can use the variable $sponsorpanel wherever you want in the other templates.

Another method is to do the evaluation of the templates in global.php, instead of phpinclude_start. Several ways exist.

In either case, all you have to do, is to make sure that the template sponsors_panel contains the HTML code you want.

Sorry if this is not the case of what you are trying to do. The above helped me.

sv1cec thanks for the reply. No it's a little different to what you ask.
I have people writing DVD reviews at a sister site (using a database on a different server), and each time they do, a html file is created with the latest reviews listed and linking to them. This file is php included into the sister site's home page. I want to include this list at the top of our 'DVD Talk' forum.
I tried it manually and it looked good (image attached), but I really need to be able to include the external file and ideally do some other PHP stuff later on aswell.

This is the exact code I want to use:
<P></P><TABLE class="tborder" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="5" ALIGN="CENTER">
<TR>
<TD class="alt1">
<P STYLE="font-size: 10px"><B>Latest DVD Reviews from <A HREF="http://www.totaldvd.net/" TARGET="_blank">Total DVD</A></B><BR>

No, the php in the CODE does not work - the PHP bit is not run.
The image I showed you is an example of what it SHOULD look like if the PHP worked.
I suspect what I need to do is alter the hack itself to process the header and footer so that php script is run.
I'm confidant with PHP but hacking vBulletin is something entirely different.

OK, so you have an HTML file you want to include in your Forum Home page?

Here is what I tried (and IT WORKED!!!)

Edit your index.php file and find:

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');

Below that, add:

// effort to help

globalize($_REQUEST, array(
'file' => STR,
'title' => STR
));

$file="announcement.htm";

$exts = "html, htm, txt, shtml";
$formats = explode(",",str_replace(" ", "", strtolower($exts)));
function checkfile($file, $formats) {
$ext = strtolower(substr($file,-strpos(strrev($file),'.')));
if(!in_array($ext, $formats)) return FALSE;
if(!file_exists($file)) return FALSE;
if( substr($file,0,5) != "./../" && substr($file,0,7) != "http://" ) return TRUE;
return FALSE;
}

if (checkfile($file, $formats)) {
$fd = fopen ($file,"r");
$buffer = fread($fd,filesize($file));
fclose ($fd);
$buffer = str_replace('"',"'",$buffer);
} else {
$errormessage = "There is an error with this link: $file";
}
// $navbits[""] = $pagetitle;
// $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

eval("\$HTML = \"$buffer\";");

// end of effort to help

Remember to change $file="announcement.htm" in the code above, to whatever your file name is.

Then, go into your FORUMHOME template and find :

$navbar

Below that, add:

$HTML

It worked on my forum, but you might have to play a bit with it, I am not sure if errors are handled etc.

Remember to change XYZ with the forum id of the forum you want the external HTML file to show. Let me know if it works.

Again, that's great but it's a whole chunk of code for the header for ONE forum. That's a lot of code to include if you have 30 forums.

Well, you could try putting the $foruminfo[forumheader] (or footer) variable into the postbit template and see what happens. I think it should work just fine. Keep in mind that it will put the image (or whatever) in EVERY post. If you try it, let us know if it worked.

I guess the $foruminfo variable isn't being passed to the postbit template. Somehow the post needs to know which forum it's in and look up the header info for that forum.

Be sure to put your forum prefix before 'forum' in both lines. So it might look like this:

ALTER TABLE `vb_forum` ADD `forumfooter` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL AFTER `forumheader`;

this sounds great. so effectively i could do the following?

at the moment i have an Xbox gaming website at www.xboxworld.com.au

if i wanted to start up another couple of websites, ps2, gamecube etc i could create subforums for each one. and then apply this hack and have custom graphics at the footer and header of each one so that they appeared to be different forums, unique to each differnt site? ie; the existing xbox one with its existing header and footer, a ps2 one with a new header and footer and a gamecube one with a new header and footer etc etc repeat until dizzy.

i could then effectively have one forum that appeared to be any number of different ones as there's a hack to hide forums from the index of the main forum that they live under right?

now what code would I use for adding flash?

Very simple, just place the OBJECT tag and associated code in the editor box. I am using a flash banner that stops upon rollover and resumes upon rollout and is hyperlinked to each sponsor's ad. Works great!

Only thing to keep in mind when using FLASH, is that your drop-down boxes will go "below" the flashmovie and not work properly. (it will appear as if your flash file is covering up the drop-down boxes) I placed the code for this hack ABOVE the navbar, so they are unaffected by the flash file....

Every time I see a post like this, I get another reassurance why my boards will NOT move to 3.5 soon. Too much hacks installed, for my own good!

Long live 3.0.x!

Works great just a quick question. Is there a way to use a conditonal somehow so that you can have a different header and/or footer display depending on the style number being selected? So if a user is using Style #1, they'd get one header, if they're using Style #2, they'd get another.

Thanks.

Installed! Haven't tried it yet, but I think it will work just fine.

Just one thing, in the instructions, you might wanna change the name of the admin directory to admincp, since it is for the vb3.0. That way it will be clear to everyone.

This hack is great. Combined with phpadsnew, this is the ultimate solution for targeted banner advertising.

Thanks again!
have people been able to get this hack to work with phpadsnew?

i tried and when i put $phpAds_raw3[html] in the header box, the actual text shows up instead of a banner...anyone know why?

No. :(

I've tried to PM the author, but he/she hasn't read it. And his/her email address is private, so I can't email either.

Can someone give me a hand with removing this from vB 3.5.0? I just upgraded to 3.5, and now I can't control these headers/footers anymore... So I need to remove them, and then upgrade to the new 3.5 mod..

*edit* Scratch that, you made it really easy with an upgrade patch... man do I feel dumb. :) Thanks very much!

Just found this hack and it looks like one I'd like to use (I'm running 3.5.4), so I downloaded it, but I don't understand these instructions:

-----------------------STEP 1-----------------------------
Run Queries
NOTE: If you used a header/footer hack in VB2.x, you may already have these fields

<------------------------------------------->
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `forumheader` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL AFTER `description`;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `forumfooter` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL AFTER `forumheader`;
<------------------------------------------->

I have no idea what this involves. Can anyone help?

In fact, I don't understand step 2, either. Where's admin/forum.php?

Thanks.

Does this work in 3.6.8 patch 2? Or is there a better or updated version of this hack?

in my file admincp/forum.php
there is no
'$forum['description'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['description']);'

I can only find something like this,
$forum['description'] = str_replace('&', '&', $forum['description']);

but it has two extra variables for the str_replace function.

Should i just change it to the str_replace function and format it the same?
i have vb 3.6.9.

thnx
