But that doesn't work if you have a fresh install of vb3 at a given board....

I've seen this done somewhere else, i think its just a simple template edit.

No but it is not that difficult to make it work even on a fresh install. All you need to do is to add the 3 extra database columns in the 'forums' table as per the original instructions of the hack.

ALTER TABLE forum ADD sponsorname VARCHAR(100) not null AFTER cancontainthreads, ADD sponsorimg VARCHAR(100) not null AFTER sponsorname, ADD sponsorurl VARCHAR(255) not null AFTER sponsorimg

Then populate them with the correct values with a tool like phpmyadmin.

Barhopper: a template edit, that's all I did.

I'd be very interested in seeing this complete hack, too. Anyone out there able to help?

Ditto!

damn, sitepoint.com is slow on my side, so i can't see what you're talking about... anyway... there is another way to find out... on my site, i have built a complete sponsoring/banners system, but i can't advertise it here as it's not free... you can contact me for details...
