I just applied the hack and everything went fine.
I guess this works on vBulletin 2.2.4

The only thing I have at the moment is the following:
I have applied my own 'Category background image' template hack, and it looks like the categorie is now a default colour instead of a given background.

I fixed this by adding:
Code:

background="{imagesfolder}/catbgtitle.gif"
to the newly added forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost_sponsor template (in the <td> tags)

I also noticed that the categories that had the banner set to them, no longer were devided from the other categories (I have applied my 'Split categories from eachother' template hack.)

So I re-applied that hack, just only to the new template, take a look at my site if you wonder what i mean, this is how my template looks now:

Code:

</table>
</td></tr></table><br>
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr id="cat">
        <td background="{imagesfolder}/catbgtitle.gif" bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="2"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a><br><smallfont color="{categoryfontcolor}">$forum[description]</smallfont></td>
        <td background="{imagesfolder}/catbgtitle.gif" bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="4"><a href="$forum[sponsorurl]" target="_blank"><img src="{imagesfolder}/banners/$forum[sponsorimg]" border="0" alt="Proudly sponsored by $forum[sponsorname]"></a></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center" >
  <td background="{imagesfolder}/catbgindex.jpg" bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont>&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
  <td background="{imagesfolder}/catbgindex.jpg" bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="80%" align="left"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Forum</b></smallfont></td>
  <td background="{imagesfolder}/catbgindex.jpg" bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Posts</b></smallfont></td>
  <td background="{imagesfolder}/catbgindex.jpg" bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Threads</b></smallfont></td>
  <td background="{imagesfolder}/catbgindex.jpg" bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" nowrap><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Last Post</b></smallfont></td>
  <td background="{imagesfolder}/catbgindex.jpg" bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="20%"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Moderator</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>

Please notice that I have my banners in imagedir/banners/ directory! And that I use category & indexing background images!So do not forget to edit that to your liking



Now,
Isn't there any way of removing that line in the middle ?


Additional question:
Is there any way of making this only show up for unregistered members?
Guests > get the banners in category
Registered members > dont. they get normal view

Once you have installed this hack, which I have done, where do you add the sponsors? I cannot seem to find that, thanks a lot, this hack is awesome by the way

Ninth Dimension 03-15-2002 10:36 PM

you add the sponser information in the admin panel, just choose to modify the categories, and it should ask you for some information regarding that particular cat.

Good Luck.

Run the three queries I tell you to run in my first post, they'll add the required fields to your table. :)

tanman 03-19-2002 02:02 PM

This sponsored by hack is cool.

You said you wanted to know if we wanted more :)

Our site is ad supported. I need to make sure the page top banners are not ignored.... Need to run the banners past some eyeballs, inside the forum threads.

How about a hack that adds a "sponsored by" banner or message with graphic INSIDE a forum thread, automatically, every X posts or so (where x could be set by admin to 10 or 12 or ???)?

One of our competitors has this on a phBB or some such...

Would that be hard?

nafae 03-28-2002 03:49 AM

Hmm Ok I installed this (Exactly) and made sure by going back and checking all the modified files, however whenever I add a sponsor to a forum, the category just dissapears! Then when I remove the sponsorship fields, the categories reeapear again!

I am unsure of what this is, firefly or anyone else any sort of help you could offer would be appreciated :o

mewgood 03-28-2002 04:18 AM

Will this owkr for 2.2.4?

Admin 03-28-2002 08:33 AM

Yes mewgood, and nafae did you add the template I told you to add? And made sure you added it to all template sets?
