Unique Forum Header Including Parent Forums

FireFly told me to post it and its semi based on his code.

it tries to use its own forumid if it doesn't use it then it tries the parent one and so forth and if it doesn't find one then it uses the default one.

open global.php

look for

PHP Code:

eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";"); 


replace with

PHP Code:

if (substr($PHP_SELF, -strlen('forumdisplay.php')) == 'forumdisplay.php') {
  $forumid = intval($forumid);
  $foruminfo = verifyid('forum',$forumid,1,1);
  $parentlist = explode(",", $foruminfo["parentlist"]);
  $header = '';
  for ($i=0; $i<count($parentlist) and empty($header); $i++) {
    eval("\$header = \"".gettemplate("forumdisplay_header".$parentlist[$i])."\";");
  }
  if($header == '') {
    eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");
  }
} else {
  eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");
} 


now create a new template called forumdisplay_headerFORUMID where Forumid is the forumid you wish to have the banner for, though this will also affect child forums unless they have their own.

Sponsor ad rotation in header with text - already in use (post #1)

Sponsor ad rotation in header with text - already in use. how did they do it? can any experts help out and let me know how to do this.


clcik here for example

hit reload a couple of times and the sponsor in the header changes each time. the extra text in the header would be great for getting and keeping sponsors

any help? does this exist already and i just can't find it? does this hack/addon fill this request?

thanks for the help.

PPN have a small request/edit on this hack. i am sure it probably won't take much but i am not that great iwth computers.

could you edit this hack so it would rotate between 4-5 different headers. instead of taking the # from the forumid could it be setup to just totate over 4-5 different #'s (headers)

i would like to set this up as a sponsor ads setp.

thanks

thanks for the help.

it should be very easy to add banner rotation. Just place the code as an image tag.

How can I make showtread.php display the same header of the forum?

PPN,

could this be setup so that there are 4-5 headers that are rotated thru. i would like to use this so i can put a banner ad along with some text in the headers. like on webhosting.com has done. i really dont know how to do this or i would do it myself.

i really need something to add some text and image ads in order to keep my site alive. right now with just banners it isn't cutting it. i have been asked by a couple sponsors for something like that. it would be perfect.

thanks for your time

oh come on PPN i know you are probably laughing at how easy this would be to do

[trainer]

can anyone help?

Was this at all influenced by my hack?

[Scott MacVicar]

Nope it wasn't, I never noticed it before, anyway its alot different it changes it for each forum and inherits its parent forum header if none is set.

Trainer to set this for threads as well involves a little bit of modification, at the moment i'm away out to work. I'll post the code when i get back. It involves checking if its showthread.php and changing what id is used to get the info.

I would love to get this hack working, but I'm a bit confused as to what the template is supposed to look like.

I just type in something like this?
