do you think it would work on 4 if I removed the version check ??

Nope, it does not.

Needs a rewrite (complete, as hooks and php code have all changed) to be vB 4.x compatible.

Developer has abandoned this mod, and vB as a whole I think, based on what I have found.

I ask again, to all out there, is there any other way of accomplishing this via any other modification?

How do you do a brand free option? If you've paid for the brand free option, how do you get the links removed?

Anyone have any idea on how to remove the 'Forum Sponsored by:' text?

It seems to be throwing off the layout a bit.

In vB AdminCP Options, go to "vB.Sponsor Settings", and delete the text in the last input field (Sponsor Text).

I guess that it's something else with the mod throwing off the layout a bit. I removed the following text....

....from the settings and it didn't change it. Oh well, I guess I'll keep looking through the templates/coding. :)

Are you having layout problems still? Is the "Forum Sponsored By:" removed"

What are the layout issues?

It actually throws off the forum name/thread counts as I detailed on post #80 above.

Any thoughts on how I can fix that?

I really don't know, but I see what you mean. It is the same on my forums, and I really never noticed it, but then again, my forum titles/descriptions were always top/left justified to begin with, not vertically centered.

Are you using a custom skin/style? If so, the justification for the forum titles/descriptions has been altered in there. If not, I just do not know.

Thanks for looking PossumX :)

I might have to go to the custom skin maker and see if he has some suggestions, I guess.

That's a shame the developer has abandoned the mod. I really like this one and is promised to my sponsors as part of their packages.

So now I'm stuck on 3.8.4 cause I can't get this on vB4 :(

I agree. Damn shame. I'd even pay :P

me too... :(

Didn't realize I still had a following. :)

If I can come with a license to work on this, I will (I don't run any public forums myself). Funds have been a little short lately. I'll see if I can get someone to put some pennies in my cup at lunch.

I have a 4.02 test site that you are more than welcome to use. I just tried the donate button but it is not working. Thank you for the great addon!

I'm more than willing to chip in some cash too :) This is one of 2 mods we're waiting to be updated so we can move to vb4.
Looks like its already been offered but our VB4 dev site is open to you too :)
Cheers for such a great and useful mod.

Scratch the PM idea. Since I don't have a license, they won't let me "participate" on vbulletin.org.

That said, SHalliday/Mr Peabody drop me a line at http://www.digitaldeviation.com/contact and I'll get in touch with you via IM/Email.

I used the contact form and sent you a message.

same :)

I have messaged you too - would love to have this hack again.

Haven't heard any news in awhile so dunno what's going on :(

I'm still alive. Summer time means I'm usually out & about with family and tending to the home. Even gingers like myself enjoy some sunlight from time to time. ;)

As an update, I do have a valid license now (and a much lighter wallet; thank you Jelsoft).

I'll update as I make some more progress on this. It's (obviously) a complete rewrite so it will take some time. Until then, you can keep up with me on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/OneCoolMofo) or my web site (http://www.digitaldeviation.com). I know there was one person who emailed me a couple times (not sure of his forum name). Sorry for the lack of response there. Hopefully this answers your question.

:)

how many people are waiting for an update? :)

I sent a message with an offer of a donation with no reply.
The donation button on the first post doesn't work for me either.

3) Find the line that reads:

chdir('/path/to/forums/'); <-------WRONG!!

change this to the path to your forum on your server and then save



Wrong chdir is not the area you change. I wasted 3 hours on that bad info.

When I click the banner, I am getting the following messge...

But then it redirects ok...anyone know what could be causing the Could not find phrase message?

Also, I am not seeing the vbsponsors manager on the left menus in admin cp.

This is what I have been looking for a very long time! Is this working with the latest version of vb 3.8?
