Cool, hope one of the releases works for you, not sure why its killing attachments but I will investigate on that definately.

when u think you'll publish a 2.0 stable version?

a 2.0 stable version might be a bit off as we are working on our dedicated server amongst a few other projects. There will be a 2.0 stable version out, but we cannot put a specific time frame on it as of yet.

I will get a new version released as soon as I have time to get more work done on it which I hope to have this weekend.

Hi man, this mod is what i need
So, would you please help to bring this mod to Portal system, like Vbnews or Vbadvanced :)
Thanks

Sorry, things came up that prevented me from working on this further. I will continue working on this tomorrow.

This isn't showing up for me. I installed it correctly, enabled it in VB options and enabled it for the usergroups. However I see no change on my forum page...Any ideas?

any news?

That means you have removed a necessary variable in the template that is required for it to display. Do you have a custom style installed?

Unfortunately, with me working 2 jobs, its hard for me at this time to work on mods. I will try to get to it within the week.

As Steve said he is having issues with real life with his 2 jobs as he is busy so the mod may be a bit later than expected. We will make sure to get a final version out for you and hopefully keep updating this!

any news?

I have it working showing on my forum main page, but want the sponsors showing in each post ?

another issue, its installed on the forum home page, but when people click the sponsors it redirects them back to our home page and not the intended link

Sorry about the absence, I am back now. I have finally found a doable time frame for me to work on code and still spend time with my kids. I won't be releasing mods as quickly as I was but I will still release them, if an emergency update is needed I will get it up ASAP and remove the old zip file.

welovehiphop: Did you add a link to the sponsor when you added it via ACP?

Very nice mod. Thanks

Will be reworking this mod starting tomorrow.

I have installed the TFW as explained in txt...yet i cannot see the sponsors on the page.

is there any assistance as to troubleshooting? or direction for exact configurations? i am new to this and have the site ready except for the sponsrs section.

any help is appreciated...thanks.

I will attempt to get a new version released in the next couple of days.

any updates?

Sorry, nothing as of yet, I've been swamped with the holiday season and such. I'm trying to get alot of my mods updated as well as concentrate on other things at hand.

Just keep checking back, I hope I'll be able to get it done real soon.

Cheers
Steve

I have this installed and semi working, the problem is the pic refuses to show and there is no clickable link

Ok what version of vb you running?

My only issue is that it is not displying any place I ask it to. I have even turned off the plugin and manually edited forumhome, navbar and other and still get nothing to display the admin side works fine and I have no SQL errors so I am at a loss.

christi, what version of vb do you have installed?

Official Announcement: I have started to rework TFW Sponsors to become SponsorIt!. It will have the same features as now but it will have some extra features. After all of the people posting stating that there are problems with it displaying, I decided to redo it now. I should have a good prime stable version pounded out in a few days. Look for the update email when the new version is released.

Thanks Steve :) I will be looking forward to it

Great... I'll wait then for the Update to Test it!! :up:

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

Also, I plan to release the 3.6.x version first then begin testing on 3.7 so when it goes gold this will work with it.

I will keep checking back as I love the idea of this mod if you need any help coding or testing let me know.

Ok I have resolved the issue of it not displaying, seems the settings I set forth canceled each other out or something, I might have gotten the settings mixed up.

Doing the following currently:
- Adding own settings page outside of vbsettings
- Adding image upload option instead of straight file system use
- Adding width/height option upon adding new sponsor
- Collapsible sponsor box
- Redoing redirect options and page

So far so good, still got a few things left to do to finish the revamp of the current mod then on to adding the above features.

Christi: Thanks, I appreciate the offer, once I release it here, if you can test it to the extreme and post up all errors/bugs then that will be alot of help.

as soon as you post the code I will test it and test it some more to make sure everything is in order. I run on 3.6.8 but also have a board on 3.6.4 which is upgrading to 3.7 soon.

I'll Test the New Update too on my Test Forum, that has vB 3.6.7 PL1, as soon as you Publish the Update, and I'll share with you the Results!! :up:

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

Great, my concern is 3.7

Well I ran into a problem getting the image upload option to work properly, currently working on fixing it. Trying to make it have option for using file system for sponsor images or database. Downfall to that is if you switch between the 2 after having images already set in say database, they won't be transferred to file system.

In a Mod made by Cybernetec (Flash-Image Banner Rotator), thas Hack works only with Files Uploaded in the Database, and works Fine (I have it with almost 200 Banners of 50Kb each and works really good and Fast)!! ;) :rolleyes:

I think Storing the Banners in the DataBase is a Good Option, but if you can Work Both Options, for Very Very Large Banners this could Help the Database Backup to be Less Large and Faster to Create, (won't be my Case, I prefer to use Light Banners so that they can Load Fast)!! ;) :rolleyes:

I think you should Release your First Next Update with the Database Storage Option, and in your Second Next Update Provide the Other Option (to Store Files in a Folder of the Server with 777 Permissions)!! ;)

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

Going to nominate this for MOTH as soon as the new version is out. :) even though I got the current version work :)

Me Too!! :up:

:)

OOPS My Bad!! :o:o:o I just remembered that Cybernetec's Mod uses Links to Uploaded Images instead of Uploading them to the Database, so it's more like the way you're using it right now, so it's functional to still using the sponsors Folder to store the Files and to FTP them; if you can add the option to upload images from the Computer would be Great!! ;)

I also noticed that there's a Bug in the Current Image, because my Forums are located in zzz.com/foros and the image displayed points to zzz.com/sponsors/image.gif so it doesn't point to the right location of it.

Another Bug: The URL has to be included without the "http://", because otherwise that text is duplicated at the beginning of the Link and when opening causes that Error.

Perhaps you can consider providing other Locations to place the Sponsors like also Above the Navbar!! ;)

Also would be great to be able to see the Sponsors in other selected Forums, and if desired in the threads inside them(numbers of forums separated by commas), so that sponsors can be displayed in those forums and as optional could be to see them on the threads, so that sponsors are fully covered in the selected forums additionally to the Main Page)!! ;) Read the Next Phrase because it adds some ideas that apply to this Global option but to each sponsor, and I think that other option would be more than Great!! ;)

For other future Uploads you can consider to add a field to each sponsor so that the user can include the list of the number of the forums to display the sponsor, so that some sponsors could be displayed in selected forums. Other additional yes/no option could be provided to choose if sponsor should be displayed in Main Page. Other additional yes/no option could be provided to choose if sponsor should be displayed in the Theads. So that way you have complete control on where each sponsor will be displayed and also if any sponsor will be displayed in the Threads, so the user can personalize this according to the sponsor needs or the specific forums and pages the sponsor would like to be displayed!! ;););) (that would be GUAU S?per Great!! :up:)

If you make box collapsible would be good to specify wich usergroups users can collapse the sponsors' Box; would be nice too to have a query to set the collapsed option to "No" and force that way any desired time to be shown; there's a Mod called "Did you know ...?" that has that option with the Tips Box; would be great that the query can be executed via Admin Control Panel with a Link provided by you!! ;)

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

Perhaps you should check in Admin Control Panel -> vBulletin Options -> TFW Sponsors - > that the Option "Enable/Disabled TFW Sponsors" is set to "Yes"; I noticed that by Default is set to "No"!! ;)

Other thing could be that you didn't uploaded some File or Folder, so would be good to upload them again!! ;)

I've tested it in vB 3.6.7!! ;)

My Best Regards!! ;)
