Forum Sponsor
Made by Adrian at Dreamit.co.uk
Tested on 3.6.1

Hey,

I seen a few people wanting a modification like this, this adds some fields in the Edit Forum Options, and allows you add a forum sponsor.

It's a pritty basic mod'.
I didn't want to spend alot of time on it, it does the functions people wanted.

See the screenshots to get a better understanding.

Installation
Import product-sponsor.xml

Done.

Template Edit
Open Forum Display templates > FORUMDISPLAY

Find:

$navbar

Add after:

<if condition="$foruminfo['sponsorenabled'] == 1">
<table width="100%" class="tborder" border="0" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td class="alt1"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="5">
      <tr>
        <td width="10" rowspan="2" valign="middle"><div align="center"><a href="$foruminfo[sponsorlink]"><img src="$foruminfo[sponsorimage]" alt="$foruminfo[sponsorname] Image" border="0"></a></div></td>
        <td valign="top"><div align="left"><strong><a href="$foruminfo[sponsorlink]">$foruminfo[sponsorname]</a></strong></div></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td valign="top"><div align="left">$foruminfo[sponsordescription]</div></td>
      </tr>
    </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br>
</if>

Done.

A quick install.

If you use this, please click installed.

Hi.

Is there a way to have it say above the logo: "This forum is sonsored by:"

Can I do that myself or do I need to change the xml?

Thanks for the help.

^ Should be pretty easy ... Open the FORUMDISPLAY template

FIND:

<if condition="$foruminfo['sponsorenabled'] == 1">
<table width="100%" class="tborder" border="0" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td class="alt1"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="5">
      <tr>
        <td width="10" rowspan="2" valign="middle"><div align="center"><a href="$foruminfo[sponsorlink]"><img src="$foruminfo[sponsorimage]" alt="$foruminfo[sponsorname] Image" border="0"></a></div></td>
        <td valign="top"><div align="left"><strong><a href="$foruminfo[sponsorlink]">$foruminfo[sponsorname]</a></strong></div></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td valign="top"><div align="left">$foruminfo[sponsordescription]</div></td>
      </tr>
    </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br>
</if>

REPLACE WITH:

<if condition="$foruminfo['sponsorenabled'] == 1">
<table width="100%" class="tborder" border="0" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td class="alt1"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="5">
      <tr>
        <td width="100%" colspan="2" valign="left"><div align="left"><strong>This Forum is Sponsored By:</strong></div></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td width="10" rowspan="2" valign="middle"><div align="center"><a href="$foruminfo[sponsorlink]"><img src="$foruminfo[sponsorimage]" alt="$foruminfo[sponsorname] Image" border="0"></a></div></td>
        <td valign="top"><div align="left"><strong><a href="$foruminfo[sponsorlink]">$foruminfo[sponsorname]</a></strong></div></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td valign="top"><div align="left">$foruminfo[sponsordescription]</div></td>
      </tr>
    </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br>
</if>

[periphrastic]

attempted on 3.6.8 & forum doesn't show

is this hack applicable to that version? thanks

[SliceofLife]

This works perfectly on my forum 3.6.8 and is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you very much!

[periphrastic]

did you follow the exact instructions?

i've done everything - the template change and import - i have turned it on and completed the required fields for the particular forum

absolutely nothing

[sR Craig]

working fine here...i just had to re-install the template edit after upgrading to 3.6.8

www.straferight.com/forums

[gwerzal]

Installed and working as described.

I have even managed to get it showing in the threads.

What this mod needs to make it a super mod is some kind of random banners feature.
