Hack info

What does it do? - Basically, you can allow registered board users to add Affiliation Links to the database, which have to be moderated by you...You can then display a Random Banner generated totally at random wherever you like, and it will be linked to the site of the submitter...Also it stores the Image Height and Width in the database, and you can limit the size of the Banners they can upload...If they change the image (located on their server) without editing their Banner, then it will not show up their Banner, Link, Hit Count, Edit Link or Site Name...They must then ask an Admin to update the Banner...Now there is also a List of the Banners on the site, and their Moderated Status...You can also choose how many Banners to show in the list

I see

Maybe the Top 5 should be Images (the banners), the 6-10 should be Bolded links, and the rest are randomnly generated?

That would be great. but what i think hes saying is. On his forum home. VBINDEX.. He wants to have the top 5 displayed on there in text.. I believe thats what hes saying.

Chris M · #74 01-03-2003, 07:31 AM

That is doable

As long as it is vBindex not vBhome - I'm not sure how to integrate it now...

colicab-d · #75 01-03-2003, 04:55 PM

DarkDraco07 · #79 01-26-2003, 02:31 AM

how come this is adding 2 queries per page? how can i make it only add queries to my homepage, not all

Chris M · #80 01-26-2003, 11:03 AM

@DarkDraco07 - It depends where you want it to show...

By default, I made it globalised, so you can add it to your header template

If you want it to only add to index, revert the global.php change, remove the variable from the header template, and add it to the forumhome template...

Then open forum/index.php (this is untested)
Find:

Code:

// if user is know, then welcome
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
  eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");
  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logoutcode')."\";");
  eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_newposts')."\";");

} else {
  $welcometext = "";
  eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_todayposts')."\";");
  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logincode')."\";");
}

add below:

Code:

// ###################### vBaffiliates Stuff #########################

// vBaffiliates stuff

$affillinky = $DB_site->query("SELECT linkid,name,link,b_link,height,width,hits,userid FROM vbaffiliates WHERE moderated='1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $maxbannernumbers");
  while ($affillink=$DB_site->fetch_array($affillinky)) {
	  
	  	if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==$affillink[userid]) {
	  	  $editlink = " <a href=\"vbaffiliates.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=useredit&linkid=$affillink[linkid]\">Edit</a>";
	  	}else{
	  	  $editlink = "";
	  	}
	  
	          if ($imginfo=@getimagesize($affillink[b_link])) {
	            if ($imginfo[0]>$affillink[width] or $imginfo[1]>$affillink[height]) {
	    		$affiliate = "";
	  	   }else{
	    		eval("\$affiliate .= \"".gettemplate('affiliate')."\";");
	  	   }
	  }
}
