Same problem here. Doesn't matter where the code is put either.

I will get my web guy to look at it & let you know the fix.

Brilliant, thank you!

Jonathan

gibgib · #64 09-08-2012, 10:28 AM

In short this mod doesn't work in showthread, ie. on this page you are reading this from!

You can get it to work though using IF commands.
This was created by my great style guy at http://that1design.com . I recommend him big time.

You just need to edit this to suit your forum & manually update it if you gain or lose a sponsor. Forum numbers are particular to our site so you need to change them.

Forumid == put the forum number here
f=put the same forum number here

I run google ads in every other forum that does not have a local sponsor & is dependent on the usergroup.
Where it says userinfo, 1, 2, 3, 6, 4, 8, 16 : your own user group numbers that you want to have see the advert.

In showthread template
Find:

Code:

{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
{vb:raw template_hook.showthread_above_posts}
{vb:raw poll}

Below add:

Code:

<div align="center">
<vb:if condition="$threadinfo[forumid] == 14">
<a target="_blank" title="Link's Title" href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=14">
<img border="0" src="http:// link to large banner.jpg">
</a>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$threadinfo[forumid] == 12">
<a target="_blank" title="Link's Title" href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=12">
<img border="0" src="http:// link to large banner.jpg">
</a>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$threadinfo[forumid] == 33">
<a target="_blank" title="Link's Title" href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=33">
<img border="0" src="http:// link to large banner.jpg">

<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$threadinfo[forumid] == 17">
<a target="_blank" title="Link's Title" href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=17">
<img border="0" src="http:// link to large banner.jpg">

<a target="_blank" title="Link's Title" href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=26">

</a>
<vb:else />

gibgib and Ral.ly, thank you for keeping up on this issue of placing the ads on the showthread page! :up:

When I get a chance I will give it a try.

My current site also has that ads at the bottom of the showthread page and under the "Submit Post/Reply" button on the post or reply page. You can see an example here

Can I put that same code in those other locations?

Thank you!

Brihan

Sponsors get a white background in forumhome, so any hint how to get the sponsors banner of same background as forumhome categories?

brihan · #67 03-13-2013, 05:23 AM

After upgrading to 4.2.0 the links to the sponsors no longer work (I also run VbSEO if this makes a difference).

When a sponsors banner is clicked is goes to a page that says...
"Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.eiipro.com/quotes/home-in...s-application/)

However the URL is correct.

Gibgib, I see you have it working on your site with 4.2.0. Will you share how you got that to work?

Thank you!

Brian

gibgib · #68 03-13-2013, 08:10 AM

Hi Brian,

You need to add the full URL of the address (advertising link you are pointing to) into the "Redirect Domain Whitelist" in the "Site Name / URL / Contact Details" in the General Settings of your board.

Thanks gibgib!

With your help I have been able to add all my sponsors in all the sections I want on my site. You're awesome!

Thank you,

Brian
