Edit each "forum" that needs rotation

Admincp =>Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Edit forum => scroll do to the bottom => HTML Code "box" :)

I use a rotating banner script which I put the code in the header_include template and then a piece of Java code to call it from there in the header and footer where the rotating banners are now, will that work in this hack, if I put the Java in the HTML area called from the header include? If so you are the man!!

Zach,

Thanks but I can't get it to work. I have the .swf file stored in my images directory.

I copied the script (with url changed to bokbok.co.uk) but nothing happens. Same as before.

Any ideas where I have gone wrong?

I made a area in the header for an image that changed by subject. It was a business logo with many "backgrounds" by subject. This way when they went into the sports area (forum) that the logo showed kids playing, sports balls around their business logo.

I added an <else /> in the <if> statement to show a default logo if the forum did not have a related banner.

Ok.. Just a question.. Does this allow you to choose which forum/catagory gets which banner? Or do you have 1 set of banners that rotate on all pages its entered on?

I want specific banners in specific catagories..

example, if its a tire ad I want it in the tire section, if its a Glove ad have it in clothing, etc..

Thanks

(png,jpg,bmp,tif,gif)

- There is also a small HTML "paste" area.
(java scripts, dhtml, html, not php "yet" )

I have pasted JAVA output from google, phpadnews, Iframes. I have also used the HTML area to paste RSS feeds per forum linking to different places. (limit 5).

One thing "missing", or at least I wasn't able to find it.
How to add a banner in the Top most page, the one that lists out all the forums.
Any pointers?

Yes this will not work on the ForumHome.

Add Extra Header / Footer to FORUMHOME
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=97901

This will create an area in your ForumHome to allow your to paste HTML/google/whatever

EX: Halloween 2005 - image

Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=halloween">

<img title="Halloween 2005" height="125" alt="Halloween 2005" src="http://www.google.com/logos/halloween05.gif" width="276" border="0"></a>

Great!
That worked!
I'm curious though,. wouldn't it make more sense to put the Header/Footer heck run from the Forum Manager page? with similar interface as the Per-Forum mod? This is just an observation,. I like the heck (both of them) :).

Little lost.

is your skins set:

- Default (edited style)
-- Custom
-- Custom

Many times the custom skins need to be edited to show the edits.

When making or editing a "forum" look @ the bottem of the page.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=34099

AdminCP => Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Edit a Forum / Add New Forum

It isn't working. What do I need to do to get this working in 3.5.1? Thanks.

image1.jpg @ http://www.yoursite1.com

image3.jpg @ http://www.yoursite3.com

Code:

function banner() {

banner = new banner(); 

number = 0; 



// bannerArray 

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

// keep adding items above here... 



increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 

document.write(banner[increment]);

Useage: If you need more banners edit / add another row.

Code:

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

Link of Destination
Image location

I installed the mod on my version 3.51 and it works fine.

But I also was looking for something like this that would display banner ads on the actual forum header & rotate through several different spnsor ads, and your java script worked like a champ! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I just placed it in the header script of the default template.

I was wondering, is there any way to add banners for different forums, like this plugin does but in the header of the forum?
Like in the attachement

can these banners be hidden to a user group?

You can add the template edit made to the forumhome to the header, but on forums w/o an image or anywere else will be a blank space where the image should be.

Try this:

header template:

Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><center><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></center><br />

<else />

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><center><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></center><br />

<else />

<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><center>$foruminfo[bannercode]</center><br />

<else /><img src="images/banner/default.gif" border="0">

</if>

</if>

</if>

</if>

This will place a default image in place when not in a forum w/ an image.

Now I have also done this added this hack to "Add Extra Header / Footer"

Add Extra Header / Footer
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=99544

Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><center><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></center><br />

<else />

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><center><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></center><br />

<else />

<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><center>$foruminfo[bannercode]</center><br />

<else />$vboptions[fhx2h]

</if>

</if>

</if>

</if>

This only says use the Add Extra Header when there is no image for a forum. There still is a "footer to place", but you may have a need somewere.

I have to say I love this mod! I have a different banner on each forum and change them weekly, and this works so much better than editing the templates all the time.

craiovaforum

11-17-2005 05:47 PM

ok, let me get this straight:
v.1. I have to delete the modification I made to forumhome and wite it directly in the header. And then add the c0de you posted
v.2. I let things as they are and add the c0de you posted in the header template

Wich one is it?

Hm seems really nice, some questions though.

- Are any plans for any stats service for the banners?
- I see that the banners can be images, could be easy, to expand that on swf files too?

Thnx in advance

Yes swf files would be a nice touch :)

hmm
If I add the code for a flash banner instead of the code for an image, in the code from up, it doesn't work

I have this code:

Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><right><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></right><br />

<else />

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><right><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></right><br />

<else />

<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><right>$foruminfo[bannercode]</right><br />

<else /><object border="0" width="600" height="100">

        <param name="wmode" value="transparent">

        <embed src="magic2.swf" width="600" height="100" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" /></object>

Hi Zachariah :) We're tring to wrap our skin around the banner but it is picking up a lot of padding from someplace. We looked at the code but didn't see anyplace where it was coming from. Any ideas? :ermm:

Zachariah I've got a great idea for a new plugin for you and it should be easy for you to make :) I call it the "Holiday Hack" and basically what it would do is to add a custom header or logo with a holiday picture during that holiday season. Some admins have custom holiday logos, and this would display them automatically. The admin could set when the custom headers/logos would display during that season. Anyway when I was installing this hack the other day I was thinking how it should be easy for you to convert this hack to work for the holidays. Basically just add the date feature, or have it work off of calendar events, and maybe a new 'holidays' directory on the server to store the pictures :)

- I will make the system have no template edits. This will fix the issue.

I also had an idea to have a list of "our banners" page listing all of the banners and what forum they advertise for. Make some link in the $navbar "Our Sponcers" or something like that.

divided_by_fear

12-05-2005 12:13 AM

when do you think that will be out? would be nice to put a random banner... or have it set up where you have a banner and it can be added to each forums auto.... instead of manually doing it... ok so if i uninstall this it should be fine?
