Affiliate Box - Scrolling and Fading Affiliate Buttons
 

Keywords: affiliate, affiliates, partner, partners, scrolling box, fading images

Update: XHTML VALID NOW!
There are more template edits guys, sorry. This will fix xhtml errors.
For those that use TMS, you won't have any template edits.
Also, marquee has been removed due to the xhtml errors. If you don't care about being xhtml valid, I'll explain how to get your marquee back.

Features:
Adds an affiliate box in "What's Going On?"
Collapsible box
Images are faded and they light up when you scroll over them


Live Demo: LayeredGFX - Sorry, I've moved my affiliates to an affiliates page so live demo doesn't work.



Install instructions for TMS users:
Upload product
[optional] If you want the topsites to show, go into TMS > Affiliates and FORUMHOME: Add topsite box, set active: YES.


Install instructions for Non-TMS users:

Add above:


You're done!



To add a site, go to Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > Affiliates and find affiliate_sites (topsite links are found in affiliate_topsite_sites). In there, you can add this code:
The affiliates phrase is affiliate_sites.
The topsite phase is topsites.


For those still interested in marquee, you can add this above your first affiliate/site/link:
<marquee width="100%" valign="center" direction="left" scrolldelay="2" scrollamount="1.5" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">

And add this below your last affiliate/site/link:
</marquee>

thanx

click install. Does the pic has to be a certain size ?

By the way, it would be much better if you can modify it so the affiliate box is on top of the what's going on, instead of the bottom.

Something like this http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/

For that, all you would have to do is put the "<!-- insert affiliate box -->" above the "Mark as read" section of the code. But it will probably look funny. You can move it above your users if you'd like, you would just have to move the "<!-- insert affiliate box -->" right below "<!-- what's going on -->".

And no, there's no size restriction. I personally like having multiple small buttons (88x31 is normal affiliate button size) but you can have whatever size fits your site best.

wooott! finally it matches my taste now. :)

5 stars for you ;) thanks.

LOL :D I just saw this Tut in the morning at TAZ [TheAdminZone] and I thought, hopefully someday he will release it at vB.org

Good One!

Thanks!

There was a tut for affiliate boxes? I've been to TAZ once or twice :P

Nice, I've been looking for a good affiliates mod. High five! lol.
