Banner ad on forum Home · **Released**: 04-16-2004

Adapted from "Add a banner image to each forum" script by Harrybutt
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61555

This modification will add an image banner with link and text to each forum you choose, and display it in on your forumhome, you can have a different banner for each forum with additional text above the banner like Sponsored by or affiliated with, or you can choose to have no text.

I have used 100x25px images for the example screen shot, but you can use what ever size you like, but remember it will effect the way your forum looks.

Hope people find this usful, this is my first hack as I'm still a big noob when it come's to hacking

Opps sorry made a slight error in the dir name, it's fixed now

For 3.5.x look here

Can the advertiser sign up, upload their banner, pay for the time requested, and it simply sits in admincp waiting a simple accept link (banner approval)

The admin clicks the link and the banner is added for the time paid for...

not in this hack

A very useful modification. ++

Would like to request to update instructions to add code for Mozilla / Netscape browsers.

That didn't work. I tried it 3 times. Totally messed it up. I changed it back. Any other codes to help.

bump, code for the table display does not work in mozilla or opera still. fix on page 5 doesn't work.

hows this work for 3.0.7 and instead of banner images - is it possible to just have it say:

sponsored by: NAME/Link here ?

I installed it on 3.0.7 without fault other than the browser problems. keeping me from using it.

I "think" this should work.. haven't tried it.. but you would use the banner image field.
you'd enter 'Oogle' in the image link field and you'd see this on your page.
ie( "Sponsored by" Oogle)

In template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post,

find:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- Ad Banner Start -->

<table align="right" width="15%" border="0">

<div align="center" valign="top" valign="top">    

<if condition="$forum['fhbanner']"><font size="1">$forum[fhmessage]</font><br><a href="http://$forum[fhbannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="images/fhbanner/$forum[fhbanner]" alt="$forum[fhbannerlink]" border="0" /></a></div></if></table>

<!-- Ad Banner end -->

replace with:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- Ad Banner Start -->

<table align="right" width="15%" border="0">

<div align="center" valign="top" valign="top">    

<if condition="$forum['fhbanner']"><font size="1">$forum[fhmessage]<a href="http://$forum[fhbannerlink]" target="_blank">$forum[fhbanner]</a></div></if></font></table>

<!-- Ad Banner end -->

This is my preference, too.

Can it be done for 3.0.7. Please let me know.
