Forum Display Enhancements - Forum Sponsor

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.

Thanks.

HM.. can't get it to work in 3.8.1 and I could really use it, any ideas???
not showing up in admincp or forum editor at all

[Raptor]

doesn't display in 3.8.3

admin side seems all ok - just nothing on public side

If I remove the if conditional it works great - but the problem is that the table displays on every page then regardless of if a sponsor is selected or not

so there must be some hook / code issue regarding the <if condition="$foruminfo['sponsorenabled'] == 1"> & vb 3.8.x

Any help is appreciated

I had a big use for this hack, but can't get it to work in vBulletin 4.0. Will this be upgraded for that version?

[fpattberg]

A real shame that this hack does not work anymore. Was really simple and useful!

How do I import the xml and where do I import it to? I already have a sponsor tab that came with my skyblue template but cannot find the controls for it anywhere.

Also want one, used it extensively on my VB3 board and starting to plan migration to VB4 now.

You can use the Advertisement function in vB4.x. This one example from our Hide-a-lite supportforum.
