You've lose me, each forum can have it's own ad displayed

What I meant was to be displayed on top of each forum listing as well as on every thread under that forum. I've just finished up my doings thanks in great part to your hack. If you like I will gladly share it with you. My little variation works directly with phpAdsnew so that tracking can be done on the ads.

Here is an example:

http://www.rcflying.net/images/example.jpg

It shows a very large banner, 700x125 is what I am using.

Beermonster,

This works like a charm on my forums for users with IE, but users with Nescape browsers are reporting that the ad doesn't align correctly. I have verified that myself, please check out the attachment. Any way to correct this?

Sorry for not knowing everything, I have installed about 5 hacks already, but am having problems understanding what to do for the first part of this hack, where it is asking me to add field to the forum table and the "Run Query" part.

Can someone be a little more clear for me?

Cavs,

You need to login to your database and run those queries there.
Alternatively you may try to run them in your admincp if you have the appropriate privileges set.

^ I still have no clue what to do though, that's doing nothing for me. Remember, I'm a raw newbie. How do I run them? Where exactly are they?

if I'm the admin and Im' in the adminCP panel and go down to import and maint.

I then tell it to execute SQL query and it says I don't have access. HOw is that when I am the admin of the site.

I also can't do it from the hosting center when I go to the mysql option.

I"m also a newbie and have no idea of what's going on.. LOL

I think once i get the tables setup I"ll be fine.. :ermm:

Beermonster

If your hosting has cpanel click on the mysql icon then scroll down to the bottom and you will see a link to phpmysql click on that and it will take you to another page, there you can choose your database and them run the query.

As for not being able to run it from admincp I think, and I might be wrong, but edit your includes/config.php and find
// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
you will see $canrunqueries = '1';
If you setup the forum then you should be user #1 but if someone set it up for you then made you a member you will have a different number.
Also make sure $superadministrators in the same file has your number in it.

Hope that works for you :)

Using this modification hack, could you make the image link appear in this spot?

Yes you would just need to alter it slightly

Kwak	08-24-2004 08:31 AM

If anyone know how to do (see the attachment #51) the alteration for this hack, please let us know. Thanks a lot.

I am interested in this too, i am going to try, but dont blame me if i cant do it! lol

roundhost

08-30-2004 05:24 AM

I am guessing it simply requires that the template edit as to where the ads are posted is moved into the category part rather than the forum part, i shall try to get it working ;)

Can someone help me here? I've followed every instruction, and can't see the banner. I've also rebuilt the styles and Forum information. What could I be missing?

forum & moderators/forum manager then choose the forum you want to add the banner to, have a look at the attachments in the first post

Got it. The data is in there correctly, but I still don't see the banner. Is there a cache that needs to get updated or something? If I view source of the HTML, I don't see any reference to my jpg file...

Could either of you [Beermonster or CarolinaKid] help me install the hack that adds the mini-banner graphic to the category header? I can pay you a small fee via PayPal. Please PM and let me know.

OK, I have been using this hack without problems. Well Done !!

Question......I have tried to have a sponsor image on a sub-forum that is not displayed on the forumhome. No joy. How can I get this to work on other forums that are sub forums?

I have my main forum sponsored by one company. Then on the sub forum I want another image. Can this be done?

Yes it can be but basically it would be another hack as you would need another set of boxes to put your details in etc.

Hi Beermonster,
there is a Firefox and Opera incompatibility in your code.
As it stands, in those browsers, the banners are displayed in the middle of the column rather than right justified. This is because your table HTML is wrong.
Instead of

HTML Code:

<if condition="$forum['fhbanner']">

<table align="right" border="0"><div align="center" valign="top">...

...</div></table>

</if>

You should have

HTML Code:

<if condition="$forum['fhbanner']">

<table align="right" border="0"><tr><td align="center" valign="top">...

...</td></tr></table>

</if>

This fixes the problem. All tables should have a TR and TD in them.

Install clicked ! Thanks for a wonderful hack !

Now can you help me with this other set of code? I would appreciate it beyond words. You guys that do this stuff are unreal and deserve lots of credit !

You say I need another set of boxes to put details in, but the boxes are already there in my control panel under the sub forum. It's just when I plug in info, it isn't displayed. What do you say? Help out a friend. :)

Find in: admincp/forum.php



print_textarea_row($vbphrase['description'], 'forum[description]', $forum['description']);

print_input_row($vbphrase['fhbannerlink2'], 'forum[fhbannerlink2]', $forum['fhbannerlink2']);

I'm not sure you understand what I'm trying to do.

Go to www.sportbikes.ws and look at the "Pocketbike" forum. I have a sponsor already there. Done deal...happy.

Now go into that forum http://www.sportbikes.ws/forumdisplay.php?f=103 and you'll see a sub forum "FAQ". That's were I want to put the second sponsor. I put the one you see there now just using some html to get by.

In the admincp, if I go into that FAQ sub forum, I see all the fields that I do on the main forumhome page.

Is this your understanding? Maybe I'm the one needing to have a few beers. :)

Thanks for the help !!

You need to run the query in mysql, you can do that using phpmyadmin, if you have cpanel hosting there will be a link to it from there, or you can also run then from within the admincp providing you have the right permissions set for it.

Can the banners be set so they expire after a period of time or even better...

Can the advertiser sign up, upload their banner, pay for the time requested, and it simply sits in admincp waiting a simple accept link (banner approval)

The admin clicks the link and the banner is added for the time paid for...

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:39 PM.
