Works with vBulletin v2.2.0!
This hack will allow you to add banners to your categories row (like done on SitePointForum.com - use that as a demo ). You can add / remove sponsors for any category that exists and also on creation (of category) time. You can specify the name, banner url and the sponsor's site. Currently it only supports categories from level 1, and only on forum index. -if you want more please tell and I'll see what I can do. Umm, that's it I think. Installation is fairly easy (and the hack itself didn't take too much time ), so you shouldn't have any problems. Feedback from any kind is very appreciated! First of all, run the following query Code:
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 Add a custom template, name it forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost_sponsor and put the following in it: Code:
<tr id="cat"> <td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="2"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a> <br><smallfont color="{categoryfontcolor}">$forum[description]</smallfont></td> <td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="4"><a href="$forum[sponsorurl]" target="_blank"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[sponsorimg]" border="0" alt="Proudly sponsored by $forum[sponsorname]"></a></td> </tr> In forum.php (under your admin folder) add PHP Code:

Still in forum.php, replace PHP Code:

Save and upload forum.php. In index.php (the main folder) replace this line PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Save and upload index.php. That's it. If you did everything correctly (it wasn't very hard, was it? ) and I didn't do any mistakes (it's tested alright!, but I might have forgot something to post), you can start adding sponsors to your forum! Show Your Support

I tried to extend the hack so image shows in forumdisplay but it does not work. The only thing that I am not sure is where to include the template in what list?

I put mine in the forum display template, right above the $forumslist variable.

I meant
forumdisplay_sponsoredby you said that you placed it in the list of required templates. Where is that list? |

Ah gotcha!
There is a link to add new templates. Click the link, pick the template set that you want to use it in, and then paste in the code that I supplied. Amy |

I got it to work but it is not what I was hoping. Maybe you can help?
Look here and you will see image. Click on main category. This is where I wanted to show it also. Yours shows in Forum 1 which is even great. |
