If you're not familiar with creating a plugin, you can search for "Adding or Editing a Plugin" in the vbulletin manual: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html?...rsion=40111601 . In case there's any confusion, I was talking about the "Hook Location" drop-down menu when you're creating a plugin.

Also, I edited my post above - I forgot to mention above that 'ad_location_above_footer' was just an example template name.

Ok i have got the forum name issue is i have written my code in php and dont nknow how to get it to work within a template.

foruminfo.title could really be the id so foruminfo.threadid but that does not seem to work

PHP Code:

include_once "../shared/ez_sql_core.php";
include_once "ez_sql_mysql.php";
$db = new ezSQL_mysql('db_user','db_password','db_name','db_host');

$results = $db->get_results("SELECT name, email FROM users");

foreach ( $results as $user ) {
    If ($user->name == {vb:raw foruminfo.title})
{
?>
<iframe width="800" frameborder="0" height="110" src="http://www.clubmonza.com/forums/<?php echo {vb:raw foruminfo.title} ?> "></iframe>
<?
}

}
?>

The way the code works is if in the database someone has selected to show a special banner on a forum page then it shows. Issue is i have no idea where to add it within the plugins or templates

...What are you doing?

Why are you trying to connect to ezSQL_mysql? Get rid of that junk and use the normal database abstraction layer!

Secondly, you're comparing a username to a forum's title and you wonder why you're not getting results?

Thirdly, you're using template syntax within a PHP file?!

[runnerjp]

the username was incorrect it was just an example.

Thirdly, you're using template syntax within a PHP file?! < this is what i dont understand how do i split the two up?

You have to use template syntax within a template.

There's plenty of articles on this here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=242
