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.

Easy to install even with a cold - top work, this will be a great addition to my competition subforums in order to hook a sponsor.

Still no word on having this slight modification as an option for the banner links e.g. main window or new window?

This html options one would normally use are not permitted to be used in the url fields for this hack. I would imagine most people using this hack would ish the banner links to open in new windows rather than the parent one. Please dude can you make this small addition

Thanks for that and we hope to get an update of your great starting point soon

Additionally I, like many others have also used the TAG mod/hack. This is great for grouping items into use friendly areas. Unfortunatley your hack doesn't recognise this area as yet, e.g. the results page for a certain tag (see this as an example http://www.physiobob.com/forum/tags/...tag=/sciatica/

It would be awesome if we could add a sponsor in some way to each tag that we create? Perhaps by offering a default one and also by overwriting that with a specific one.

Does anyone else think this would be an excellent addition? I'd make it myself if only I knew how

John1uk,
It's in the Forum & Moderator==>Forum Manager==> Pick a forum to edit and the new fields are there near the bottom.

Thanks Adrian, very handy mod. Clicks Install

If you want to add the target="_blank" and title="Sponsor name" to the text link and alt="Sponsor name" to the linking image. Modify the template edit you did in the forumdisplay template. This bypasses the fields.

Find:

<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>

Replace with:

<tr>
        <td width="10" rowspan="2" valign="middle"><div align="center"><a target="_blank" href="$foruminfo[sponsorlink]"><img alt="$foruminfo[sponsorname]" src="$foruminfo[sponsorimage]" alt="$foruminfo[sponsorname] Image" border="0"></a></div></td>
        <td valign="top"><div align="left"><strong><a target="_blank" title="$foruminfo[sponsorname]" href="$foruminfo[sponsorlink]">$foruminfo[sponsorname]</a></strong></div></td>
      </tr>
