hi, im looking for a hack to do this: http://www.srtforums.com/forums/index.php?
add the sponsored banner links on the front page next to an individual forum. is there a hack that does this? this is the closest one ive found.

joeychgo 03-08-2004 09:04 AM

I would like that as well.

Also, I would like a hack that randomly changes between banners on the forum pages..... SO perhaps 4 or 5 different banners would randomly rotate between page clicks........

/me clicks install

Thanks for that, is there some way of adding a click counter to it?

Or a feature to allow different forums to have different banners (as in sponsors for various forums)

Currently this allows a different image w/ link per forum made. :D

Hi. I have this working fine on our normal pages now but it doesn't want to work on our advance pages (note that I moved the banner into the header and changed the code as follows)

Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="images/banner/$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banner]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><img src="images/banner/$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banner]" border="0" />
<else /><img src="images/banner/default.gif" border="0">
</if></if></if>

That displays a default image if no forum is currently selected (like the main page). Anyway, vbadvance displays the default, but I would like it to display the banner... Wait a sec... BRB

Ok, I was double checking to make sure I had banners defined for each of the three forums. Anyway, vbulletin is dropping to the default image, which means it isn't putting anything into the $foruminfo['banner'] variable. How do I go about retrieving this info?

Michael Morris 03-20-2004 07:23 AM

Ok, so you don't want your banner in the $navbar template but in your header. Fine. Here's one way.

Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']">
  <a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank">
    <img src="images/banner/$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banner]" border="0" />
  </a>
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']">
  <img src="images/banner/$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banner]" border="0" />
<else />
  <img src="images/banner/default.gif" border="0">
</if></if></if>

Note the extra statement after the else that sets a default page for your forum.

Now if you're like me and you use vbadvance you can port variant headers over there without changing your $header template. First set $index_header and $index_footer equal to the site's normal header & footer as follows:

Code:

eval('$index_header = "' . fetch_template('header') . '";');
eval('$index_footer = "' . fetch_template('footer') . '";');

Then, assuming you don't have any other default.gif files in your header, you can do a str replace for each forum. The site I work on has three as follows:

Code:

if ($newsforum == 110)
{
$index_header = str_replace("default.gif", "scifinews.gif", $index_header);
}
elseif ($newsforum == 111)
{
$index_header = str_replace("default.gif", "pdfnews.gif", $index_header);
}
else
{
$index_header = str_replace("default.gif", "ENNewsLogo.gif", $index_header);
}

That bit of code goes immediately after the second bit. I hope this makes some sense - it's 5 AM here and I'm babbling.

is there any possiblity of changing this to make it where you can enable a random banner to appear..

so you cna put in say 10+ banners, and just have one randomly appear...would be kinda easy i think with a nice php sscript...hmm i think i might have a go at that now tha ti think of it...if you don't mind me editing your mod a bit eh?
