Add-On Releases - Affiliation Display

This is a port of my Affiliation Display modification for 3.7.x found HERE.

This mod is now available for 4.x.x found HERE.


Do you have so many affiliates that you just can't keep them all together on one line? Then this modification is for you! It uses a marquee to display your affiliates in it's own box in the "What's Going On?" area. The marquee is set up to stop when you hover over an affiliate and start back up when you are no longer hovering over an affiliate.

Edit your affiliate links and images via the AdminCP.


Installation
1.) Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forums root directory.
2.) Import the product-adblockalert.xml.
3.) Use this code as a guideline to displaying your affiliates:

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com"><img src="http://www.yourimagelink.com/imagelink.gif" border="0"></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com"><img src="http://www.yourimagelink.com/imagelink.gif" border="0"></a>

4.) Mark Installed. =]


Upgrade
For 4.5 and above import the product and select Allow Overwrite.

For anything previous to 4.5 you need to copy your affiliation_code and gfxaffiliation_code somewhere safe, then uninstall the old product, and install the latest. From there just transfer your codes to the AdminCP.


Display Issues
Some styles may not display the product correctly or you may wish to move it to a completely different area of the FORUMHOME. If this is the case import the disable automatic template edits via the AdminCP.

You then will need to find the following code in your FORUMHOME template:

		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$upcomingevents</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
</if>

Add after:

$affiliation

If you wish to display it somewhere else within your FORUMHOME template then just place $affiliation anywhere you wish inside your FORUMHOME template.

Now if they let me upgrade to just the forums for free or a couple of dollars, then I might consider it, but all this hype over the CMS is just stupid.

I agree 4.0 is not worth it YET.

I'm a little confused..
If 4.5 is newest when would someone just upload & allow overwrite.?

Eitherway i am trying to upgrade, but having issues.. I must not be saving the templates & uninstalling correctly.
Where do i find the templates.?
Does that mean export them from the ACP > Product Manager.?

I'm still getting this error..

The following dependencies were not met:
This product is not compatible with version 3.8.5 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.7.0 / Incompatible with 3.7.9 and greater)

Also where is step 2..!?

Installation
1.) Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forums root directory.
2.) Import the product-adblockalert.xml.
3.) Use this code as a guideline to displaying your affiliates:

To upgrade it says to uninstall, & "install the latest" which to me means install 4.5..!?
So now i have no affiliation bar, & it wont install again.!?

So basically this shouldn't be in the 3.8 mod section at all.?? (ONLY 3.7)

[Gamelobby]

How F*CKING lame.!!
Now i have to find a completely different mod for my affiliates, because installing this "updated" one doesn't work, & the older versions are all removed.

Anyplace we can find the old 4.0 version.. (the one that does work on 3.8, because even in the 3.7 section the link is updated to 4.5 that DOES NOT work with 3.8)
Consequently marked UNinstalled.

Just make 4.0 available, is all im asking.!!

[Scyther]

cool mod.
marked installed.
