This is an update of my previous hack:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94119

DEMO
- banner for an on-line game clan/guild.

*** 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 and SHOWTREAD.
• This images can be located on the localhost or on a remote server.

Changelog:
------------
1.7
- str_replace used to place hack at $navbar in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD.
- choice to show in thread per forum.
- Place $add_banner in template if str_replace fails to work.
- add_banner template added

Running on 3.7.4 In debug mode and this is RED on Show Thread and Show Forum Only on Forums / Thread That do not have Your Mod Active on ,

[Zachariah]

I have it running on VB 3.8
- demo of banner on forum and threads in forum.

[DieselMinded]

can you tell us how to cache the add_banner template

[Zachariah]

hmm there shoulden't be :|
- I'll have to look @ the zip file attached.

I do have a plugin @ hook cache_templates

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "showthread" OR THIS_SCRIPT == "forumdisplay" )
{
$globaltemplates[] = 'add_banner';
}

[DieselMinded]

your Cache templete is as follows on my board

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['bannerthread'] == '1' OR $foruminfo['banner'] OR $foruminfo['bannercode']){
$globaltemplates[] = 'add_banner';
} 


i switched it to what you just posted and it appears to be fixed now thanks

This mod does not work with this one:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=135297

The code that must be used is:

$showrandomquote

It won't pull when placed in the code box. Do you know of any workaround to this?

Thanks.

Any clues - cause my head is hurting.;-)

Nice hacks.

I'd like to put it in another position (not under navbar but near the footer). How can I move it?

Also,
a code to work like to following?

PHP Code:

<if condition= THIS HACK>
<else />
$header_advertisement
</if> 


Thanks
