2 basic questions:

1. Before I install this on a well established VB install, is this stable enough for 3.6.3? Anyone use this in a VBa CMPS install? Is the download the latest, with all fixes corrected - or will I have to do manual fixes as outlined in the 6 pages of posts above?

2. Is the example shown (CrookedH - http://forum.crookedh.com), what it will do? Looks like 2 different logos (small on forum list), (large inside the specific forum) for each sponsor?

Thanks -

Attached the german version of this product.

Hey, for those trying to show the sponsor ad in all threads, there's something you can do. Instead of pasting the code for the Forum Display Dev suggested (no disrespects of course), you can do a quick work around by pasting the code at the end of the "navbar" template.

I know it's not the right way, but it certainly works out just fine.

Take a look at my forum: http://www.networkersdebut.com/forum

As of typing this, I only have 3 categories with the sponsor ad activated, Introduction, News and Design & Function.

Dev, you're welcome to add my forum to your demo site list.

None taken. ;) Always good to see some user input like this. Added your forum to the list.


Once I get my computer rebuilt, I'll begin work on this again. Hard drive died on me. Lost some data too.. Ugh.:tired:

Thanks for the translation. Please do not host the files on your site. Instead reference this thread. I will post the package you created here as well. Thanks.

awesome add-on installed but 1 question how do i get the Big banner to show up like this

http://forum.crookedh.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63

Send a PM to nul7. That's his site.

Looks good btw nul7. ;)

Great one!!

Thanks Dev... Installing now.

When will or can it use banner code such as Adsense and others?

(On a slightly related note, does anyone have some good gaming click through sponsors pm me)

I keep getting this error, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Mark,

Had to alter line 49 to
eval(exec_header_redirect($vbulletin->url));

as I was getting a

I installed, it worked fine, looks promising
But i unistall it, because it only take a picture and not a html code (i need it for my ad-banners)

This is a great mod, thanks for doing it.

However, I, sucking at PHP and the likes, am having a problem. Whether I use just a text link or a banner image, whenever I click it I am just directed towards www.mysite.com/forums/vB.Sponsors/link.php which is a blank page. Why am I not being directed to to the link that I put as the sponsor's?

Thanks in advance!

I can't get the large banner to show up. Only the small one. Can someone point me in the right direction - and post it here on this thread for anyone else having this problem in the future? Thanks!

Thanks for the mod

Is it possible to use .swf files?

Any idea on if/when phpAdsNew integration will be available?

im trying to delete an ad.... it does nothing... i checked the permissions... they are fine... i went to the options... no problem there... i went to see if i could delete it from the options.. its not showing up there... hmmm

Have you gone into Forums & Moderator - Forum Permissions - The Forum you want to delete the ad from and select "No" for "Enable Sponsor" then click on Save

I have replaced the Forumdisplay code, as below
with this code

It displays fine except the New Thread and Page Links are now shown above the banner instead of below the banner, see attached.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix this?

Thanks

I tired that code and still can't get the banner to show up anywhere. I'm wondering if I have a problem because of my forum layout. See below:

-- Suspension & Brakes (not a forum)
---- Shocks & Springs
---- Stock & Aftermarket Brakes
---- Lowering Kits
---- Stabilizers & Traction Bars

The client wants to sponsor the suspension & brakes forums and have the small logo beside that on the forum list but we want the large banner to show at the top of all the subforums.

Is that possible? If so, how? THANKS!

Can anyone help me with my problem? The sponsor only links to www.mysite.com/forums/vB.Sponsors/link.php which is a blank page. Why isn't it forwarding to the actual sponsor link?

Please help me out!

Thanks!

Thank you very much for this hack. I would like to know how to edit the text: "Forum Sponsored by" by moving it directly above the banner. Can anyone show me how to do this?

I would also like to edit the color of the text. Thank you

See my post, three posts above

Thank you madkeen, I tried implementing the code you provided but was unable to change the text to be placed above the banner. The code made no changes at all. Would it be okay if you take another look at the coding? I would really like to make this work.

Also to the coder of this hack, I am interested in removing the footer link. Can you please pm me for information on this? I am willing to donate a small amount for it. Thank you

Thanks for this - really handy mod.

Is there any ETA on this feature:
Option: Multiple sponsors per forum/category

Being a half wit, I scanned the text and didn't notice it was an option for the future not current release. Had my coder install this hack and spent 10 minutes trying to workout how the heck you rotate various adverts when there was only 1 set of fields per forum :P DOH

Any kind of ETA on being able to add 3-5 sponsors per forum and it rotate them randomly ?

Will get my guy to take a look at the code, if it doesn't look like it's something you have time for shortly.

Cheers again.

I already have vB Ad Management 3 installed.

Can I also install this mod without any troubles. I know "without any trouble" is a relative term but do you think they can co-exist without smoke, sparks or fire ;) ?

I have the same management system installed and do not see how it would interfere with anything, except maybe a few adverts.

Nothing serious though.

Here is my demo:

http://forums.puremarketprofits.com/happyshares-com/

I have this installed, however, when I press uninstall, it renders the entire screen blank. I have to logout of admin and log back in to get back anything on the right frame.

I would be interested in contributing financially for the ability to add 2-3 more sponsors per forum/catagory and have it simply display them randomely or cyclicly.

Feel free to PM me, will save me getting my guy from having to work out somebody elses code.

I would love to have a little help on this one.


"Instead of pasting the code for the Forum Display Dev suggested (no disrespects of course), you can do a quick work around by pasting the code at the end of the "navbar" template. "

Could you please give me more specific direction?

Since this was posted in 2006 is this still the proper way to get the large banner in all the posts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I loaded this mod tonight and it works great, no problems.

Thank you.

I installed it on mine and everything works fine. Only problem I am having is that when I put the image in, the size is too large. Is there any way to edit the size? Thanks

?, I am a noob so please bear with me,
I have tried multiple times to run settings-check.php on my ftp site
but it comes up blank?
I transfered the complete VBsponsors folder over into the forums directory
and when I run settings-check.php just a blank page

any suggestions?

any other way to find the root dir.?

thanks

can anybody help me with the size issue? i'm sure it's something simple. the banners are saved small (120x60), but once I enable them in the sponsor section, it doubles the size of them. what am i doing wrong?

also, the link isn't working. when you click on the banner to go to the sponsors site, you get an error page? i've read all of these pages and i know it says that problem is line 30, but i've went back and rechecked it and can't figure out where i went wrong?

please excuse my ignorance. i'm very new to this stuff and it's alot to learn. thanks in advance for any help!

www.dragbikeforums.com

ok, i got the size issue figured out. I thought i had it saved in the right size but i didn't. so, if i can just get the link to the sponsors going it'll be right.

I keep going in and changing line 30 of the link.php trying to figure out what i have done wrong. Now when i'm in filezilla and everytime i try to upload it, i get a message "too many retries". What can I do? Can anybody help? Please? Thanks

Thanks. Looks like a great mod. Cant wait to install it!

When I click on the banner, it is supposed to take me to the advertisers website. I have checked line 30 a million times, it's right. I have the link in the control panel right, http:// etc, any ideas on what i am doing wrong? i get a page with the following when i click on the ad banner:

Not Found
The requested URL /forums/vB.Sponsors/link.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

This has got to be something simple. Can anybody help me figure this out? Thanks

Is there any way to email or PM members banner stats for each individual ads?

Nice mod but had to disable as it added link to vbsponsor at the bottom. Really cannot have that on my forum. Will wait for branding free and adsense integration.

I love this mod but how does one add flash banners. I tried using bbcode but it didn't work. Does anyone know how to add flash banners?

So I have to edit templetes?
