Yes it can be but basically it would be another hack as you would need another set of boxes to put your details in etc.

Hi Beermonster,
there is a Firefox and Opera incompatibility in your code.
As it stands, in those browsers, the banners are displayed in the middle of the column rather than right justified. This is because your table HTML is wrong.
Instead of

HTML Code:

<if condition="$forum['fhbanner']">

<table align="right" border="0"><div align="center" valign="top">...

...</div></table>

</if>

You should have

HTML Code:

<if condition="$forum['fhbanner']">

<table align="right" border="0"><tr><td align="center" valign="top">...

...</td></tr></table>

</if>

This fixes the problem. All tables should have a TR and TD in them.

Install clicked ! Thanks for a wonderful hack !

Now can you help me with this other set of code? I would appreciate it beyond words. You guys that do this stuff are unreal and deserve lots of credit !

You say I need another set of boxes to put details in, but the boxes are already there in my control panel under the sub forum. It's just when I plug in info, it isn't displayed. What do you say? Help out a friend. :)

Code:

// Adds fields to forum table.



Run Query:

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `fhbanner2` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `description` ;

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `fhbannerlink2` VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL AFTER `fhbanner2` ;

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `fhmessage2` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `fhbannerlink2` ;



------------------------------



Find in: admincp/forum.php



print_textarea_row($vbphrase['description'], 'forum[description]', $forum['description']);





below add:



print_input_row($vbphrase['fhbanner2'], 'forum[fhbanner2]', $forum['fhbanner2']);

print_input_row($vbphrase['fhbannerlink2'], 'forum[fhbannerlink2]', $forum['fhbannerlink2']);

print_input_row($vbphrase['fhmessage2'], 'forum[fhmessage2]', $forum['fhmessage2']);



Find:

$forum['description'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['description']);



below add:

$forum['fhbanner2'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['fhbanner2']);

$forum['fhbannerlink2'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['fhbannerlink2']);

$forum['fhmessage2'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['fhmessage2']);

---------------------------------



Edit Template : forumhome_forumbit_level1_post



Find:

<tbody>

        <tr align="center">

                <td class="alt1Active" colspan="2" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">



below add:



<!-- Ad Banner Start -->

<table align="right" width="15%" border="0">

<div align="center" valign="top" valign="top">        

<if condition="$forum['fhbanner2']"><font size="1">$forum[fhmessage2]</font><br><a href="http://$forum[fhbannerlink2]" target="_blank"><img src="images/fhbanner/$forum[fhbanner2]" alt="$forum[fhbannerlink2]" border="0" /></a></div></if></table>

<!-- Ad Banner end -->







--------------------------------------------

Add these phrases:



Varname:

fhbanner2



text: 

Banner 2



Varname:

fhbannerlink2



text: 

Banner 2 Link



Varname:

fhmessage2



text: 

Postbits 2 Banner text i.e. Sponsored By or Affiliate with



--------------------------------------------

Then,



Create a "fhbanner2" folder EX: $vbhome/images/fhbanner

I'm not sure you understand what I'm trying to do.

Go to www.sportbikes.ws and look at the "Pocketbike" forum. I have a sponsor already there. Done deal...happy.

Now go into that forum http://www.sportbikes.ws/forumdisplay.php?f=103 and you'll see a sub forum "FAQ". That's were I want to put the second sponsor. I put the one you see there now just using some html to get by.

In the admincp, if I go into that FAQ sub forum, I see all the fields that I do on the main forumhome page.

Is this your understanding? Maybe I'm the one needing to have a few beers. :)

Thanks for the help !!

You need to run the query in mysql, you can do that using phpmyadmin, if you have cpanel hosting there will be a link to it from there, or you can also run then from within the admincp providing you have the right permissions set for it.

Can the banners be set so they expire after a period of time or even better...

Can the advertiser sign up, upload their banner, pay for the time requested, and it simply sits in admincp waiting a simple accept link (banner approval)

The admin clicks the link and the banner is added for the time paid for...
