many thanks

Currently due to the additions that swf files need in html, version 1.0 doesn't support swf files for affiliates. BUT - I've edited the product (See attached file) and in the admin control part, where you put the image you must add the swf html equivilent. For example, if you want an image there you must put:
<img border="0" src="image.gif">
For swf:
<object width="xx" height="xx"><param name="movie" value="movie.swf"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="movie.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="xx" height="xx"></embed></object>

Marky, I like this. I have it implemented. Two suggestions if I may.

1) The URL to the image for your affiliate box should be a standard image such as misc/stats.gif or statusicon/forum_link.gif for example. Many forums use different themes and having an image which fits the theme in question would improve the look.

2) There needs to be an option for target="_blank" as many forum admins would prefer to not have users leave their forums.

Do you think these are things you'll consider for an update?

1) How about the option to have either one from the theme folder and a custom one?

2) That's a definate. I'll be going back to school tommorow, but if I don't have too much on, I'll get this done by tommorow

One request for this mod:

Give some instructions on putting the block in other areas. Like near the header.

Make the number of available input boxes for different affiliates configurable. Maybe using AJAX to open up new boxes?

Yes sorry the instructions are rushed I agree. I will update them soon to make them clearer and of course give you different places to stick the affiliates box

And on the AJAX front, unfortunatly I can't do AJAX But I'll definatly consider an alternative way...
