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.

Adrian

but i only post an image for the whole sponsor section and therefore include my text on the actual image. Therefore there is no sponsor title etc as i don't want anything to appear which would split the field into text and image. so i need the image link to open in a new window when the image is clicked on

Dude... :ninja:

PHP Code:

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


You see the target="_blank" added?

Anytime you see <a href="whatever"> you can add target="_blank" before the closing > to make a link open in a new window. In this case You click the image and it will open a new window with the url you entered for the sponsor's link in the admincp.

No your database was not damaged. It simply tried to create new fields in your database but failed because the field "executionoder" does not exist in vb3.5x.

So basically it stopped and didn't execute the sql query so nothing happened.

hi

i have added the code as instructed to the right file and i get no option at all to add sponsored banner, have checked everywhere and its not there

how come it doesnt seem to work for me?

cargale,
Check this post

If it not there then you didn't import the product would be my guess or you made the edit in the wrong place or not at all. It's a pretty straightforward mod so those are the only 2 possiblilties.

The only problem I had was with a secondary style because it wasn't a selectable style. I just made it selectable and it worked then changed it back.

Would be good if this supported Google ad sense...

Hello,

I've installed everything and I don't have any display.

What else am I suppose to do After the code is installed?

Thanks.

Goto Forum & Moderator==>Forum Manager==> Pick a forum to edit and find the new fields near the bottom. make sure to turn it on with the radio button just above those new fields.
