Affiliation Display
 

This is a port of my Affiliation Display modification for 3.7.x found HERE.

This mod is now available for 4.x.x found HERE.


Do you have so many affiliates that you just can't keep them all together on one line? Then this modification is for you! It uses a marquee to display your affiliates in it's own box in the "What's Going On?" area. The marquee is set up to stop when you hover over an affiliate and start back up when you are no longer hovering over an affiliate.

Edit your affiliate links and images via the AdminCP.


Installation
1.) Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forums root directory.
2.) Import the product-adblockalert.xml.
3.) Use this code as a guideline to displaying your affiliates:
4.) Mark Installed. =]


Upgrade
For 4.5 and above import the product and select Allow Overwrite.

For anything previous to 4.5 you need to copy your affiliation_code and gfxaffiliation_code somewhere safe, then uninstall the old product, and install the latest. From there just transfer your codes to the AdminCP.


Display Issues
Some styles may not display the product correctly or you may wish to move it to a completely different area of the FORUMHOME. If this is the case import the disable automatic template edits via the AdminCP.

You then will need to find the following code in your FORUMHOME template:
Add after:
If you wish to display it somewhere else within your FORUMHOME template then just place $affiliation anywhere you wish inside your FORUMHOME template.

thanks
will try this later

Nice mod

Thanks. Let me know if any problems occur.

Thanks for this.

No problem.

Awesome mod! It's actually the first one out of three others that I've tried and has actually worked!

Just one question, I'm currently using it for Topsites instead of Affiliates, is there any area of the xml file where I can change the display areas on the front page to say 'Topsites' instead of 'Affiliates'? Thanks!

Affiliates is a phrase, so a simple search should display the information you need. =]

Silly question and i am not a coder, how do i seperate them, at the moment they are stacking on top of each other not side by side

i had to disable this mod because it was causing a security token when i was trying to upload a picture into vbalbum, any idea why

Not the slightest clue. It's all basic html. However separation involves the html code for space.

anyone have this working on 3.8.4? cause iv installed it and put the images buttons in there but nothing is showing up

Make sure you add this:

You then will need to find the following code in your FORUMHOME template:
Once found, add this coder AFTER:

I am using 3.8.4 and it works.

nice

Downloaded.... Thanks for the work, I hope it installs and functions as well as some of the others. However, I would like to see some of these questions answered first.

Thanks again for your hard work. Well all benefit from it.

WR

works perfect on 3.8.4

How is it possible to get this mod to show on all pages of the site?

You could try $affiliation in the footer. Not tested though.

mhhh.. found 4 .xml file, wich one should I import? thanks for the work!!

Where do we edit the buttons & Links.?

installed and works fine on v3.8.3,installed

used the first xml file,the 1 with the shortest name

edited that to show the links and images

only thing i would like if possible is :

how would i get this to show just under the main navbar ?
also can this be usd twice on the same forum ?

what i want is both under navbar
1 will display links and iages of the clns we play against
the other i will use for the different catagorys on the forums as a quick link sort od

so any help or an answer would be great
cheers

AdminCP

As I told algert, you could try putting $affiliation in the template you want it to display in.

Nice mod thanks !

4.5 Released! I made all the 4 products in one, so that it's not as complicated for people to figure out which one they need.

can i change the firefox logo to diff. one?

great mod I will be waiting for this at vBulletin 4.0.1 :)

Simply replace the image with what you want and you are good to go. :)

I will not be upgrading this to 4.0. Not only because I don't have the money to upgrade my board to it, but merely because I think 4.0 is stupid and has features that it doesn't need. I don't need the CMS because I have a homepage. Now if they let me upgrade to just the forums for free or a couple of dollars, then I might consider it, but all this hype over the CMS is just stupid.

then how to change it?can u tell me i could replace the image?

I'd like to use this as a vbadvanced module too. Or in the footer of vbadvanced. Any suggestions?

Nevermind, I managed it. ;)

Can we add more affiliate bars.?
Or edit these to say something else.? (not just the image)


I agree 4.0 is not worth it YET. :)


I'm a little confused..
If 4.5 is newest when would someone just upload & allow overwrite.?

Eitherway i am trying to upgrade, but having issues.. I must not be saving the templates & uninstalling correctly.
Where do i find the templates.?
Does that mean export them from the ACP > Product Manager.?

I'm still getting this error..

Also where is step 2..!?

To upgrade it says to uninstall, & "install the latest" which to me means install 4.5..!?
So now i have no affiliation bar, & it wont install again.!?

So basically this shouldn't be in the 3.8 mod section at all.?? (ONLY 3.7)

How F*CKING lame.!!
Now i have to find a completely different mod for my affiliates, because installing this "updated" one doesn't work, & the older versions are all removed.

Anyplace we can find the old 4.0 version.. (the one that does work on 3.8, because even in the 3.7 section the link is updated to 4.5 that DOES NOT work with 3.8)
Consequently marked UNinstalled. :(

Just make 4.0 available, is all im asking.!!

cool mod.
marked installed.
