Thanks for this, is it possible to change "Forums Sponsored By:" to something else?

taydu 11-14-2006 12:16 AM
Look great!!!

Rotating banner, sponsors will be great

abramelin 11-14-2006 12:43 AM
The display of the banners are not good. You have to use extra collumn for banners. Because it is messing up the forum and category name alignment.

PossumX 11-14-2006 01:04 AM
Why is it that when I paste in the update to the "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" template, my forum display doubles all categories and the first forum ? I am quite befuddled by this.

All templates being modified are default vB 3.6.3 templates. I have reverted and tried again, with the same results...

Help....;)

Attached is an image of what forum looks like after "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" is updated.

Below is the code prior to the update"
Code:
<tbody>
        <tr>
                <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
                        <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
                        <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
                        <if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
                        <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
                </td>
        </tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>
Here is the code after the update:
Code:
<tbody>
        <tr>
                <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
                        <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
                        <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
                        <if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

<if condition="$forum[sponsor_banner_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_banners] == 1">
<img src="$forum[sponsor_banner]" alt="$forum[sponsor_name]" border="0" />
<else />
$forum[sponsor_name]
</if></a>
</div>
</if>
<!-- / vBSponsors -->

<if condition="$childforumbits">

I've noticed that the code in the template code, included with the download, is a tad different, so I am trying now, however, it is still odd, since the template I am using is a complete reverted copy.

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

Update: I copied the code, verbatim, from the 3 Forum Home templates, and manually edited the FORUMDISPLAY. It's working now, however, the hyperlink is now throwing a nasty error:

I am checking paths now, but I thought I had it tight....grrrr. FIXED

Yes. It's under Global Settings in the Admin CP.

You can use an additional column if you want. I chose to use a <div> tag for the simplicity of example. Simply copy & paste the template code in between <!-- vB.Sponsors --> and <!-- / vB.Sponsors --> wherever you decide to put it.

It looks like part of your template ($childforumbits) got duplicated. When you're copying the code included with vB.Sponsors, make sure you completely erase the code in the box before pasting. I find that using the "Large Edit Box" option (to the left of the text box) helps with this.

PossumX 11-14-2006 01:16 AM
I see the duplicate code now...that you pointed it out, it is rather obvious.

Checking details now...thanks. My apologies for the posting, but I am a bit tired, go figure. Updated post above on hyperlink error as well.

FIGURED OUT MY LINK PROBLEM TOO.

My path was not complete, missing the initial part of the lead.

ALL WORKING NOW !!

dougeetx 11-14-2006 03:00 AM
Is there a way to make this for each thread instead of each forum?

Hornstar 11-14-2006 06:35 AM
The only thing to make this better that I can think of, is to allow statistics to be shown to specified users through a login, or a page where they have permission.

eg. Banner 'x' statistics shown to userid 'xxx'

That would be really good.
