1st post :D

*** Useage:
These files can be any image. (png, jpg, gif, ect) or paste your HTML code.

To add banners go to:

Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Edit/Add Forum =>
scroll do to the bottom enter your details.

This script has a few options.
-
By default install it will attempt to place itself
in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD under location "$navbar" in the templates. If for some
reason your banner does not show up you edit and place $add_banner within the templates.

Here is a simple JAVA random banner code you can paste in the HTML area of any forum.

EX:
This will show @ random.

image1.jpg @ http://www.yoursite1.com
image2.jpg @ http://www.yoursite2.com
image3.jpg @ http://www.yoursite3.com

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- 

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>"

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite2.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image2.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite3.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image3.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>" 

 

// keep adding items above here... 



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

document.write(banner[increment]); 



//-->

</script>

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>"

I'm not able to get this to work, either with a single banner or with the script for random banners.

Instead of placing the $add_banner in Forumdisplay and Showthread, could it be added in the Navbar template?

What don't make sense is the 3.5.x version works just fine for the 3.6, so whats the sense in a update?

firstrebel

11-28-2006 07:01 PM

Installed then uninstalled, for a few reasons.

1] Could not get it to work, just got red X's, in fact got 2 red x's, and I had 5 image files in the scripts. Tried full URL and relative URL.

2] Putting this in each forum is a bit of a long job as I have 40+ forums and I could not get it to work on the forum homepage at all. I would have thought putting the code in the navbar template would be better, then they appear in forumhome and all other forums. I tried that but that didn't work either.

I am obviously doing something wrong, but what. One thing I can't work out is

Code:

href='http://www.yoursite1.com' 

href='http://www.yoursite2.com'

what do I put if it's all on one site.

On the forumdisplay:

Code:

$search_text = '$navbar';

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($search_text,

$search_text.fetch_template('add_banner'), $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);

This looks @ the template FORUMDISPLAY for $navbar and if found it places the content of add_banner under it. If you have a custom style that has removed $navbar there is a option to place $add_banner.

Take a look: Google image, Google News, Froogle

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- 

function banner() { 

}; 



banner = new banner(); 

number = 0; 



// bannerArray 

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.google.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://news.google.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://news.google.com/images/news.gif' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://froogle.google.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://froogle.google.com/froogle/intl/en_us/images/froogle_110tall.gif' alt='' border='0' /></a>" 

 

// keep adding items above here... 



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

document.write(banner[increment]);

Ok the reason you seen 2 sets of images:

*** How to Upgrade:

*** Edit 2 Template(s) : FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD no longer need the code below:

Find:
$navbar

below remove:

Quote:

<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 />
</if>
</if>
</if>

This script has a few options. By default install it will attempt to place itself
in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD under location "$navbar" in the templates. If for some
reason your banner does not show up you edit and place $add_banner within the templates.

ShackMaster

11-28-2006 11:52 PM

Code:

$search_text = '$navbar';

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($search_text,

$search_text.fetch_template('add_banner'), $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);

Is this the code that is supposed to be on my forumdisplay after loading the .xml? Cause that code is nowhere to be found.

ShackMaster

11-28-2006 11:57 PM

I tried placing $add_banner in forumdisplay, but it still doesn't work.

The code above is used in the script to "search" the Forumdisplay template for $navbar and try to place the banner template "add_banner" under.

Do you have $navbar in your Forumdisply template ?
- If so this should show up after you edit a forum and add the needed image, target link, or custom HTML code.

If there is no $navbar in your Forumdisplay then you need to add $add_banner in your template.

I have 2 banners now -

http://www.gzhq.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=47

Code:

<body>

$header

$add_banner

$navbar

The one the hack places and the same thing above the $navbar because I edited the template.

What have you placed in the AdminCP in the space for the image in the forum you edited ?

Jonathan Young

11-29-2006 01:24 AM

Okay, works fine now. Only thing that seems weird is that everything in the forum edit is in a longer form. By that i mean like 3 words a line, then down like a list, then it shows the field, but it doesn't seem to affect the added image part. If you need a screen shot, i can send one if requested.

option to have it auto apply to child forums
option to enable/disable the main banner

This is a great hack!

Is there a way to do this with headers? I would like to have my header changed based on the forum ID. I am working with vb.com, but they are simply showing me conditionals, but that takes up a LOT of space in the header.

You can use this in the header template with a few changes it can show a default image if none is filled out and if on any other VB page that is not a forum.

Zachariah this is one of the best mods i have seen around.
I really like the way we can set it per Forum.

I really would like to see more options for a forum:

- in the Forum there will be also advertisement between different Threads
- in the Threads of this Forum will be advertisement between different Postings

I really would love you for this :)

regards

Zachariah

Is the a way we can allow the moderator of that forum create his/her own header/footer ??? This seems like only Admin create every single header.

Red images usably means that the URL's to the images are off.
- Right click on the broke image and go to properties. It should tell you more info on the location of where the script thinks your images are.

I have that one and its not correct working:

PHP Code:

banner = new banner(); 

number = 0;

// keep adding items above here... 



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

document.write(banner[increment]); 



//-->

</script>

any idea?
