This is a VB3.5 Ver of my previous hack:

*** Add a banner image to each forum (VB 3.0x)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61555

*** Info:
This modification will Add an image banner w/ link Or paste in your own HTML code option per forum. These files can be any image. (png, jpg, gif, ect). This will be located after the $navbar on FORMDISPLAY. This images can be located on the localhost or on a remote server.

Could somebody please confirm on this thread if and when they do sucessfully have it ported on 3.6

I can't take risks with this mod as I have paid up sponsors, and won't be upgrading til I know this mod works.

I'll let you know. I'm just setting up a test forum now to run the upgrade.
It will be a few days but I'll report back when I'm done

Hello,

We all certainly appreciate the efforts of all the code writers who have been providing us with so many interesting upgrades at no charge.
But i am having a hell of a time following some of these instructions.
I'm instructed to browse for the file XML.xxxxxxxxxx

Excuse me, but i see no such file in the folder i just downloaded for this hack.
The Instructions need to be a little more concise. Many of us are new vBuletin owners and may also have little knowledge of Html.
I have managed to install some of the upgrades because the installation was concisely explained in sufficient detail for us newbies.

I PM'd an 'expert 'once with a question regarding an upgrade, and he responded as if I was an Idiot for not knowing everything he takes for granted.

Uggghghhgh. mercy...Please...lol

Best wishes._Brandr.

you're treating him the same way he was just begging for mercy from, by assuming he has installed other hacks or plugins.

I totally empathize with him, being self taught in this arena.

[Robbed]

I'm self taught to.

The instructions are pretty clear.
*** How to Install:

In your Admin Control Panel

Admincp => Plugin System => Manage Products
Click [Add/Import Product]
Browse for the file "banner_image.xml"
Allow Overwrite should be off
Import

Ignore the upgrade part

banner_image.xml should be in the zip file. I wasn't trying to be rude.

sure man, I understand where you're coming from. But even those instructions can be confusing for someone new to vb.

I have one top "header" banner zone for ALL of the forums pages.. I would like to use this hack to put an additional "footer" (bottom) banner zone on ONE forum only.. Can I use this hack to do this please?

Thanks!
