Will this work when you use subforums hack?

The template uses:

images/fhbanner/$forum[fh_banner]

If you've uploaded your image banner.gif into: [forum directory]/images/fhbanner/ so it has a URL of http://[your site]/[forum directory]/images/fhbanner/banner.gif

The path you put in the adminCP will be banner.gif

Personally I have implemented it with full image and URL entry from the admincp rather than prepending "http://" and "images/fhbanner", it just adds extra confusion and limits how you can can use the hack.

So what the previous post is saying is that if I have uploaded the image I wish to use into http://[your site]/[forum directory]/images/fhbanner/

which to me will be forums/images/fhbanner

then all I put into the section on the admincp is banner.gif without anything else?

Thanks

Nothing else that should be it. If you have problems and get a broken image logo just right click and view properties to see what the URL being generated is.

I have put banner.jpg into the space in the admin cp and when I go to properties i get this

but still I get a broken image

"banner.jpg" would be the name of the image file.

if the image you've uploaded is called grimsbyunleashed.jpg put grimsbyunleashed.jpg into the box in the admincp

that is what i am saying i put grimsbyunleashed.jpg into the box in the admincp and it's still a broken image

Will this work for subforums? I am using the subforums hacks which alligns the subforums in a nice fashion will this work for that?

I've done the same as you. On my ACP I just added image.jpg and nuthing shows up. :confused: I don't even get a broken image. I get Ziltch...none...ZERO::bunny:

Hi,
This plugin works good for me, just if i choose a banner for a forum category it doesn't show up.

Works great with 3.5.4 Thanks!

I actually managed to get a image working, turned out it was the size of the image I was trying to use, if you are trying to use a big image try and scale it down to 120 x 30 and see if it is any better for you :)

How about for 3.6.0....will it work?

Yes it is working with 3.6.0

this is a great mod, I've looked at a few others and this is definately the best one :)
good work

Works like a charm with 3.6.1.

Thanks!

How hard would it be to extend this, so you can also specify a larger banner, to show up in the ForumDisplay template while viewing the sponsored forum.

nevermind

Can someone please make a howto install all this. I have the banner pics but do not know where to install them. the XML is installed. Just need the rest of the info please.

Thank you

Will this work for 3.6.8?

If not, is there a similar mod that works in 3.6.8?

Thanks.

I found it works in 3.6.8.

I'm surprised this thread hasn't had a post in it since early October 2007. Is there another mod out there that people are using. I couldn't find anything else.

Also, would anyone happen to know if it would be possible to get an affiliate link to work with this? I don't think it is possible but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

great works with 3.7 patch 2
thanks alot!

yes i need to know how to get this working with an affiliate link that auto grabs the image

like commission junction - that would be perfect for me

anyone ?

I see that the forum title is above the picture... how to change the title so that the title and the image both on the center?

any updates for 3.7.0 gold?

What's everyone doing to get banners in the forumbit for vb ver. 3.8?

I followed the instructions but dont understand the

"forumhome_forumbit_level2_post"

what is it exactly, where is it, do I need to buy some template besides the default to get the banners running,

Im just beginning with vb, so please anybody......

allright, I just found it (if it is in vbulletin-style.xml?)
, done everything, still doesn't work

is there any limit on the picture size?

3.8.1. version - that might be the problem?

Works fine on 3.8.x

I dare you to link us to one 3.8.x site that has this installed.

Just bumping this because I installed it on 3.6.8. Thanks for the plugin :)

anything like this for vb 4 yet?

I will paypal $7 to the first person who can provide me (via PM or in this thread) two vB 3.8.6 websites that this mod is working on.

The bounty has been raised to $11.

I will now pay $16 USD.
