Board Optimization - Tri-Box

This is the most versatile Tri-Box there is out there...

Install

Upload attached product. Modify the the vbulletin navbar template and add the following code at the very bottom:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat" colspan="3" align="center">
		<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('tribox')"><img id="collapseimg_tribox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_tribox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vboptions[tribox_title]
	</td>
</tr>
<tbody id="collapseobj_tribox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_tribox]">
  <tr align="center">
    <td width="28%" class="thead">$vboptions[tribox_col1_title]</td>
    <td width="44%" class="thead">$vboptions[tribox_col2_title]</td>
    <td width="28%" class="thead">$vboptions[tribox_col3_title]</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="28%" class="alt1">$vboptions[tribox_col1_content]</td>
    <td width="44%" class="alt2">$vboptions[tribox_col2_content]</td>
    <td width="28%" class="alt1">$vboptions[tribox_col3_content]</td>
  </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />

Than all you have to do is edit the vBOptions category and you've got yourself a tri-use box! Screenshots below...

Is there a way for this to stay on FORUMHOME only?

[King Kovifor]

Put it at the top of your forumhome template.

Thanks for the great mod, now I have some things that I need done:

I need to have a randomizer, meaning say for one of the boxes I want "random photos" or "random videos"(vids from youtube) could you make it so that if you put a "," comma that would be the randomizer?

So I put a code than a "," and it all gets randomized, could you please help me on how to do this?

Thanks I greatly appreciate this mod and really need to know how to do this randomizer thing, I NEED IT ALOT.

Thanks

I was out all day, please wait at least 24 hours before bumping your request. And if you create a plugin that fetches random data, you can assign it to a variable and change the variable in the temlpate.

I'm sorry King Kovifor, thanks for your response though, so how would I go about creating a plugin that fetches random data? Is it hard to make, etc... Could you please help me and make one I really need to have this done, maybe could you please make it part of this plugin?

Thanks

SELECT * FROM `tablename` ORDER BY RANDOM LIMIT 1

I'm not sure about the random, but that's the basic SQL structure for the query. Then you would use $db->fetch_array and assign variables to stuff.

Hello King Kovifor thank you for responding, I'm sorry, but I don't totally understand what you said.

Could you please give me the steps in order to do this please.

Also than where would I put the other lines of text that are going to get randomized?

I'm sorry I'm very bad at this and truly appreciate your help
