hi use html code i.e <a href="http://yoursite.com/"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/your pic 150x150.gif" border="0" alt="whatever text you want "></a>

or upload your image to photobucket or who ever and get the html code from there

Decca87 got it. You can also add a series that rotates thru several images by incorporating the iFrames mod into this one. Here's how it looks: http://hearts4horses.net/member_forum/upload. Just let me know if you want to do something like that with your images and I can post the code that we use. Then all you'll need to do is replace the image stuff (like what Decca 87 showed) with yours.

Oops, try the link again...it was mistyped. I'll post the code here in a few minutes.

bmckinley · #**408** 10-26-2009, 08:46 PM

Here is the code we use on Hearts4Horses.Com. Note that it uses a table format to place the iFrames DIV's where wanted. (you could actually use this anywhere you want to have the rotating ads appear) For the iFrames mod, please go to: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=209005 and create your iFrames code first. You'll note that in our Side Column, we have two different sets of ads rotating, so in the iFrames, we created two differents "ADVERTS" files: "adverts" and "CAadverts". We have found that using the tables format, we can easily add or change the SC advertisers section to coordinate with other promotions or events. Below, I'll paste our "Adverts" code which is really the key to us being able to use this Side Column Mod easily.

First, here is the code that is used in the Side Column settings page.

Code:

 
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<!--<UKBL Iframe advertiser start>-------------------------------------------->
<DIV ALIGN=center>
<!--For full source code and more DHTML scripts, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com-->
<!--This credit MUST stay intact for use-->
<iframe id="tickermain" src="http://hearts4horses.net/adverts.htm" width=167 height=465 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=no></iframe>
</DIV>
<!--<UKBL Iframe advertiser End>---------------------------------------------->
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
<!--<UKBL Iframe advertiser start>---------------------------------------->
<DIV ALIGN=center>
<!--For full source code and more DHTML scripts, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com-->
<!--This credit MUST stay intact for use-->
<center><iframe id="tickermain" src="http://hearts4horses.net/CAadverts.htm" width=160 height=600 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=1 frameborder=0 scrolling=no></iframe></center>
</DIV>
<!--<UKBL Iframe advertiser End>--------------------------------------------->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

　
　
Here is our "Adverts" code:

Code:

 
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
//IFRAME Advertiser by UKBL2009
//Rotation code by Dynamic Drive, please leave intact if you use.
//configure delay between changing adverts (5000=5 seconds)
var delay=9000
var ie4=document.all
var curindex=0
var totalcontent=0
function get_total(){
if (ie4){
while (eval("document.all.content"+totalcontent))
totalcontent++
}
else{
while (document.getElementById("content"+totalcontent))
totalcontent++
}
}
function contract_all(){
for (y=0;y<totalcontent;y++){
if (ie4)
eval("document.all.content"+y).style.display="none"
else
document.getElementById("content"+y).style.display="none"
}
}
function expand_one(which){
contract_all()
if (ie4)
eval("document.all.content"+which).style.display=""
else
document.getElementById("content"+which).style.display=""
}
function rotate_content(){
get_total()
contract_all()
expand_one(curindex)
curindex=(curindex<totalcontent-1)? curindex+1: 0
setTimeout("rotate_content()",delay)
}
window.onload=rotate_content
</script>
<BODY bgColor=#FFFFFF>
　
<!--ADD YOUR ADVERTISEMENT CONTENT BELOW, by wrapping each one inside a <DIV> as shown below.-->
<!--For each DIV, increment its ID attribute for each additional content (ie: "content1", "content2" etc)-->
　
<div id="content0" style="display:''">

So you see, piece of cake...first step is to get your iFrames working, then it is easy to use them in the Side Column. Let me know if you have any questions.
　

demonsal · #**409** 10-28-2009, 02:34 AM

Is it possible to get an 'Whos Online' section on this side bar, I would really like it alot if something like that was added to the sidebar.

DZaidle · #**410** 10-31-2009, 06:24 AM

Installed in V3.8.4, the sidebar poll does not display poll results or register votes. It also cripples voting in the normal thread poll. Normal thread poll works okay when sidebar is disabled.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE

Installed the poll only from another thread and it does the same thing. When a user votes from the sidebar, it registers the user as having voted but does not update the poll vote tally. Thus, the user is locked out from voting again but his vote is not counted.

szezam · #**411** 11-01-2009, 04:11 PM

Hi (works fine but..../i do't use poll/)

Can i add sidebar to register.php? (simple)
(show sidebar under registration process)
