This is a VB3.5 Ver of my previous hack:

*** Add a banner image to each forum (VB 3.0x)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61555

*** Info:
This modification will Add an image banner w/ link Or paste in your own HTML code option per forum. These files can be any image. (png, jpg, gif, ect). This will be located after the $navbar on FORMDISPLAY. This images can be located on the localhost or on a remote server.

Little lost.

is your skins set:

- Default (edited style)
-- Custom
-- Custom

Many times the custom skins need to be edited to show the edits.

When making or editing a "forum" look @ the bottem of the page.

AdminCP => Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Edit a Forum / Add New Forum

I'm curious though,. wouldn't it make more sense to put the Header/Footer heck run from the Forum Manager page? with similar interface as the Per-Forum mod? This is just an observation,. I like the heck (both of them) .

-Alon.

Hi

Upgraded to 3.5.1 from 3.5 where the mod was working. I had to revert Forumhome and Showthread. I reuploaded the product and did the addition to those two templates.

It isn't working. What do I need to do to get this working in 3.5.1? Thanks.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

banner = new banner();

// bannerArray 
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite2.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image2.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite3.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image3.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>" 
 
// keep adding items above here... 

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 
document.write(banner[increment]); 

//-->
</script>

Useage: If you need more banners edit / add another row.

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

I installed the mod on my version 3.51 and it works fine.

But I also was looking for something like this that would display banner ads on the actual forum header & rotate through several different spnsor ads, and your java script worked like a champ! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I just placed it in the header script of the default template.

Great news. Glad it helped out.

I was wondering, is there any way to add banners for different forums, like this plugin does but in the header of the forum?
Like in the attachement

[RGSMDNR]

can these banners be hidden to a user group?

You can add the template edit made to the forumhome to the header, but on forums w/o an image or anywere else will be a blank space where the image should be.

Try this:

header template:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><center><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><center><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><center>$foruminfo[bannercode]</center><br />
<else /><img src="images/banner/default.gif" border="0">
</if>
</if>
</if>
</if>

This will place a default image in place when not in a forum w/ an image.



Now I have also done this added this hack to "Add Extra Header / Footer"

Add Extra Header / Footer
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=99544

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><center><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><center><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></center><br />
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['bannercode']"><center>$foruminfo[bannercode]</center><br />
<else />$vboptions[fhx2h]
</if>
</if>
</if>
</if>

This only says use the Add Extra Header when there is no image for a forum. There still is a "footer to place", but you may have a need somewere.
