[Audionuts]

ok i took FireFlys instruction and just tried to change a couple of things on the description to try to make a loittle more clear...dot know if this will help, but i'm just trying to help


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
////First of all, run the following Mysql query:

ALTER TABLE forum ADD sponsorname VARCHAR(100) not null AFTER cancontainthreads, ADD sponsorimg VARCHAR(100) not null AFTER sponsorname, ADD sponsorurl VARCHAR(255) not null AFTER sponsorimg




////Add a custom template, name it forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost_sponsor and put the following in it:

<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="#336D95" background="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/catagory_backing.gif" colspan="2"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont color="#000000"><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
<br><smallfont color="#000000">$forum[description]</smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="#336D95" background="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/catagory_backing.gif" colspan="4"><a href="$forum[sponsorurl]" target="_blank"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/$forum[sponsorimg]" border="0" alt="Proudly sponsored by $forum[sponsorname]"></a></td>
</tr>


(You can tweak this for your tables. Playing around with the colspans should be enough
though. This is for the default table structure)



////In forum.php (under your admin folder)




find:

makeyesnocode("Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts?","countposts",1);

and right after this code add:


maketableheader("Sponsors</b> <i>Only supported by categories</i>","",0);

makeinputcode("Sponsor name","sponsorname");
makeinputcode("Sponsor banner file<br>(your default images folder is added, no need in that)","sponsorimg");
makeinputcode("Sponsor full URL","sponsorurl");



////Still in forum.php, replace this line:


$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum
(forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayo rder,parentid,
parentlist,allowposting,cancontainthreads,daysprun e,newpostemail,newthreademail,
