Is this one able to do the between forum topic banners as well... I remember the old one had that functionality built in.

Thanks for the port.

have only editied the one in the pics upto now but will update when i done the others. First time doing any kind of editing taking me a while lol

Should be ok now have done all the edits

works great, been waiting for someone to do this! thanks alot.

Installed without problems, thanks dude it looks great Lol.

When I click on banner, it refers to domain.com/vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=1 (Oops! This link appears to be broken) even though I've pointed Sponsor URL to http://www.example.com.
Please advise

when you click on the banner yes it should show as link above but should then read this from your input in the admin pannel check your code as it works fine on mine.

the bit of code that does this is

PHP Code:


		
			
<a href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f={vb:raw forum.forumid}" title="{vb:raw forum.sponsor_name}" target="_blank">

barne77

found what was wrong... in a path =) cheers. nominated!
next step would be to add functionality rotate banners? =)

Did you get permission from the developer to post this? You cannot just upload an edit to somebody else's mod without their permission.

I know I'll find the answer right after I post this but where the heck do you add the banners? I don't see the option in the forums& moderators edit page where it used to be.

And the answer to my question was that my product was turned off from before. You need to turn it back on.

I need help with vbulletin 4 coding. In the template edits it calls a variable:

{vb:raw vboptions.sponsor_global_default_text}

I'm trying to change the phrase and I can't do it. First of all, a search of phrases tells me I only have a variable called :

Standard Phrase: setting_sponsor_global_default_text_desc

which does not match the name does it? Its not changing the text so it must not be the correct one but there are no others. Why won't it change the text?

I can't find where to add the sponsors either. Anybody?

Anyone know why on my site (http://www.r32oc.com/) the banners are not aligning to the right?

Good shout. It would be cool if coder could take it into account and move sponsors to the right, closer to subscribe button
Also i reckon it's better to move Sponsorship text "Forum Sponsored By:" from left to the top (on top of banner)

Anyone know why this does not show up in my admin panel?

Oh, I forgot I also get this error when importing the product

MySQL Error : Incorrect key file for table './protour_vb4/datastore.MYI'; try to repair it
Error Number : 126
Request Date : Saturday, February 5th 2011 @ 07:57:05 AM
Error Date : Saturday, February 5th 2011 @ 07:57:05 AM

After a database repair all is well. Never mind the two posts about.

I know this was asked before but is there any way to right justify the banners?

i love this edit but its screwing up my vbshout admincp panel

the directive in link.php which changes the directory

Code:

/********************

         * Modify this to reflect the path to you forums*/

        chdir('/home/nycjdm/public_html/');

        

        require_once('./global.php');

Is also changing the directory for my other plugin so the other plugin does not find its own files.. is there a way to fix this?

Can not get this to display teh banner

It show "Forum Sponsored by"

I get the following html code inserted




<span class="smallfont">Forum Sponsored By:</span>
<a href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=65" title="" target="_blank">

</a>



but nothing else

Anyone able to help please?

Can get banners working, but not google adsense.

Anyone able to help with this?

First off, Thank you very much barne77 for modifying this mod. I could not bump up to VB4 until I could get this working for all my advertisers.

I do have 2 small issues that I hope you or someone else can help me with.

1) In the ACP global settings menu tab is not displaying the correct text and when you click on it there is no text in the global settings area. See picture below.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/2.jpg

2) I would like to remove "Forum Sponsored By" but I can not figure out how. I have done a search for the phrase and I find it but when I try to change the text in the box below nothing happens, it still says "Forum Sponsored By:

Am doing this in the wrong area?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/3.jpg

And for the person who did not know where to include the ads, go to

Forums & Moderators -> Forum manager ->

Click on the forum you want to include the sponsorship in and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

I tried using this for subforums but when I click on the banner I get an invalid redirect URL for some reason. Anyone else having this problem?

With the new vbulletin 4.1.4 patch ALL links need to be added to the whitelist for them to work.

Anyone getting "Invalid Redirect Errors" since updating? All of the banner links are now coming up with this error :(

Rather than tracking the stats id be happy to just have them static links if anyone can show me how?

To get the banners to align right in 4.1.8 and probably other versions

Thank You Works great...

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my site from 3.6.4 to 4.x.

I've used the VB3 version of VBSponsors for quite some time now and love it.

It there a way to upgrade keeping the old VBSponsors in tact?

Thanks

Before I can upgrade from 3.8.7 to 4.x I need to be able to get my big sponsor banners to appear at the top and bottom of each individual thread as well as by the submit button(s) when posting a new thread or reply.

I have it that way on my current board and need to keep it that way because all the sponsors are promised that much exposure.

On my current board I thought that all I did was take the vBSponsors code for the big banners and place it in the correct locations for where I wanted the banners to appear. I have tried this on my 4.x test board and no banner appears.

You can see all my banner placements here:
http://www.inspectionnews.net/home_inspection

Has anyone figured out how to do this with 4.x?

Thank you,

Brian

Just checking back. The above post is really important to me.

Thanks,

Brian

Anyone?

I can't believe that I was able to get the VB.Sponsors to show up in all desired areas of my VB 3.8.7 (I'm not that good at this stuff) and no one can figure out how to do it in VB 4.X.

It is so important to have the sponsors throughout all the threads and post/reply sections. Someone with the brains has to be able to figure this out.

I know where to put the code but there must be some small change to the code to make it work in the threads & post/reply sections.

This is holding me up from going live with my new board. Got to keep the advertisers happy.

If anyone has any suggestions I would be forever grateful.

Thank you,

Brian

Has everyone moved away from vBulletin and/or vb.sponsors? If so, where did you go and what are you using for your sponsorship/advertising?

Hard to believe no one is using/supporting this anymore.

Seems a shame as all I need is just a little more functionality to get the sponsors banners in the threads and new post/reply areas like I currently have it with my 3.6.5 board.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

I have upgraded to 4.1.11 and it works great. No problems here.

Just reconfigure the images and away you go.

Sample: www.v8buick.com

Well this is a "re-write" of the original authors work to work in VB4 and is noted as being unsupported. There is no mention that I have seen (did not read all the threads) that he had permission to re-release this. However if you look at the last supported release by the original author he does show a link to Twitter noting (end of Feb) that he is going to release a VB4 version.

YMMV

I am now actualy in need of something like this too...

Hi guys,

Thank you very much for your replies. It was getting lonely in here replying to myself.

Mike, I took a look at your site (very nice by the way) and I do see your sponsored ads.

I was able to get that far as well but what I need to figure out is how to get the ads on the thread pages and post/reply pages. This gives the sponsors MUCH more bang for their buck and they do pay more.

Here is an example (comparison) between one of your sponsored threads and one on my current board.

http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.ph...8-core-support

http://www.inspectionnews.net/home_i...c-framing.html

You can see that the Atlantic City Inspection Conference banner is at the top and bottom of the thread page. This is what I need to have on my 4.x board as well.

I have done the exact same thing on my 4.x as I have on my 3.6.5 but I'm not getting the banners to show.
