Ok...

No Screen shots...

but I can explain the settings.

Enable Sponsor YES
Sponsor Name TMMZ
Use Sponsor Banner NO
Sponsor Banner
Sponsor URL http://www.teammightyminiz.com


_________________

So, that is set..

then when clicking on the "sponsored by TMMZ" text in the newly sponsored froum

the hyperlink = http://www.teammightyminiz.com/forum.../link.php?f=12

BTW it doesn't matter what sponsor name or url I add in the cp, it always hotlinks it ... http://www.teammightyminiz.com/forum.../link.php?f=12

Everytime.

So http://www.teammightyminiz.com/forum is your site, correct?

From what I can tell, the directory /vB.Sponsors doesn't exist on that server. You did upload the items in the zip file to the server, correct? Also be sure the case is EXACTLY the same. Linux/Unix servers are sensitive to case (e.g. - vB is not equal to vb). So to recap, the vB.Sponsors directory should be uploaded to http://www.teammightyminiz.com/forum/vB.Sponsors/ .

If your testing it one specific forum, it will always be that forum's id (from vBulletin). It won't change the link the users click on. Only the site they are redirected to. The only time the "f=" part changes is when its a different forum/category.

ugh

I dunno

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /var/www/html/forum/vB.Sponsors/link.php on line 27

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/forum/vB.Sponsors/link.php on line 29

The path you entered on line 27 isn't correct. It should point to the root of your forum. Example:
chdir('/var/www/html/forum/');

The trailing slash is important.

Getting closer. Don't give up yet. ;)

Didn't forget about you.;)

I just got MySQL 5.0 installed. The only issue I ran into was that I didn't specify a default value for some of the values. I've updated the zip file.

Try this (replace prefix with your table prefix):
First, drop the columns:
Now manually add the tables back:
Let me know if this works for you.

Hmmm I just can't figure it out.

I get this
The requested URL /forum/vB.Sponsors/link.php was not found on this server.

Is this normal???

/var/www/html/forum/

Is that ^ wrong?

What should it read if it is wrong?

So out of my element, but still seeking the answers.

djmini,
I've attached a file called settings-check.php. Upload this to the vB.Sponsors directory on your server. Run the file. It will show you what the forum directory should be. Enter this on line 27 of link.php. Remember to delete the file from your server when you're done with it.

This file is now included in the zip package to help with the installation.

Awesome, that worked fine.

/var/www/html/forum/vB.Sponsors
was the one.

Thank You!

shoot spoke too soon... it worked Once...

now the error is

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.2:

You have an older version. That bug has been fixed.;)

Uninstall via product manager, download the latest version, upload new files (overwriting old ones) and reinstall via product manager. Make sure you edit the link.php again (since it will be overwritten).

hmmm

It's still not working for me.

Am I getting closer or further?

Here's a small suggestion. Update it so we can place an adsense java code in there, instead of a url image and url link.

Thanks!

Check line 27 in link.php again. Looks like its incorrect. From that error it looks like it should be:
Excellent suggestion. Added to the list. :squareeyed:

So it should be

/var/www/html/forum/

no other variation?

I have it set at

/var/www/html/forum/vB.Sponsors

Great extension, will this work with vb 3.5.0 ?

It should be:
/var/www/html/forum/

It should. I started this on 3.5.0. I've just upgraded since then. ;)

Clicks Install

Is there a way to change the Sponsor By text to Affiliated with?

Thanks

I found it under Phrases thanks.

Check the first post for details. The most notable addition is the ability to view the stats in the Admin CP.

Looking forward to the feedback. :glasses:

i'm facing a problem..

when i go to activate global vB.Sponsors settings.. i set both options to yes.. click save.. tells me it saved.. then redirects me to the main page.. and nothing is saved.. the two radio buttons are set to NO??!! what is going on.. where did i go wrong this time.?

does this work for 3.5.1 ?

yes it will work for all of vb 3.5.x correct me if im wrong anyone, but i've been using this through all the updates and works fine.

Interesting. Did you do an upgrade or fresh install (wasn't sure if you had the older version installed)? If its an upgrade, make sure you choose "Allow Overwrite" in the Import Product area. Did you receive any errors installing this?

Anyone else experiencing this?

You are correct. :classic:

I am having this problem. I have not looked at why it is doing it yet.

I upgraded from the last version. I have also tried un-install and re-install of both versions.

Is the installer suppose to make some custom templates?

for you it is an upgrade.. and for me it is a fresh install.. didn't know about this from before...

don't know why is it happening.. but everything went smooth while installing.. no errors .. no nothing..

:surprised:

Thanks, It is an awesome hack. Going to be one of my favorites. The issue is it is not installing all the DB stuff. (I think) Still have not had anytime to look at it deep.

The issue should be resolved now. An oversight on my part. (yes tcs, I missed some db inserts

Download the latest zip in the first post.....

and do what? :)

Reupload files? reinstall XML?

Same problem here...

EDIT: Would be good to upgrade to a newer version on fixes... makes it a bit easier for me to find out if something really got updated and what (eventually got fixed). Thanks

EDIT: did the full update (upload and reimport xml) but that didn't fix that bug with enabling vb.Sponsors. After enabling they are still disabled.

Re-upload. Reinstall the XML making sure your choose "Allow Overwrite". It's been incremented to 1.0.3 (just did that this morning; I was a little tired last night). The XML has changed, so be sure to grab the latest zip.

As of last night, this was working for me. Tonight I'll be doing a fresh install of vBulletin 3.5.3 to remove any changes I may have made in my testing.

seem's like you're still a bit tired :)

now i get a parse error with the actual included product-xml. and yes i'm sure i already used overwrite when reimporting the one wich was online a few hours ago.

Sorry i can't paste the parse error from the import - it redirects me back too fast.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in admincp\plugin.php(1228) : eval()'d code on line 3

there ya go

thanks - you must be younger or even faster than me :D

33 and not faster . just bored heh (and had the error saved to ask the same question)

im kinda new 2 alll this stuff, i downloaded ur thing
but online 27 wat do i write in?
i have not a clue in the world, im such a noobie lol

//modify this to reflect the path to your forums
chdir('/your/path/forum/');

i change that 2 wat?
my website url is www.pbontario.com/forums
...

the path to your forums on the server

probably /home/pages/customer/fonzie/... anything like that...

like my ftp?
where my forums are
cuz this is what i use 2 get 2 my upload server and the forums page
ftp://pbontario.com/forums/

then my username is joedono (2 access the ftp)

This is during the install right? You uploaded all the files from the latest zip right? Just asking the easy questions... ;)

The file, settings-check.php, in the do not upload directory can find this path for you. Upload it to the vB.Sponsors directory on your web server and access it directly (i.e. - http://www.pbontario.com/forums/vB.S...ings-check.php). DELETE this file after you're done.

I'm getting the same error when installing. Any ideas what is wrong? I just downloaded and installed so I assume it is the new one.

New release..... yet again :nervous:

Download the new zip. Install choosing "Allow Overwrite". I didn't increment the version on this one.

am i not lucky or what..

new errors.. (besides the fact that the "sponsored by XXX"not showing on my froum..)

when i click on view stats.. it give me this error

shouldn't the tables be withen the xml files..?
