The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 10-12-2005

Promote your board by becoming part of a vB Ring. Adds a button to the bottom of your site that, if clicked, opens a new window with a random link to any other forum in the vB Ring.

Your site will be randomly linked to from all the other forums in the list.

To be added to the list, you need to :
a) Add your boards name below (to prove it is legal)
b) Install this hack, so you are participating in the ring

Optionally email me to get your site on the list, after posting it here. Just in case I miss it on this thread.

1 template mod :

Admin CP > Style Manager > Edit Templates > FOOTER

Find :

PHP Code:


			
<div align="center">

    <div class="smallfont" align="center">

    <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->

    $vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]

    <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->

    </div>

Before it, add :

PHP Code:


			
<center>

<p>

<a href="http://www.davespikey.net/random/rand_link.pl" target="_blank">

<img src="http://www.davespikey.net/random/vbring.jpg" width="200" height="27" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.davespikey.net/random/vbring.htm"><img src="http://www.davespikey.net/random/more.jpg" width="35" height="27" border="0">

</a> 

</p>

<p>

</p>

</center>

Save.... and you're done!

Of course, the JPG images can point to whatever images you like.

Demo here

Enjoy!!!

If sites remove the banner, then they will be removed from the list, to make it fair

None taken - you're right, they often do - Mercora was an example of that, really peed me off!

I've got another site under development so I'll sign that one up too once it's live.

Example: 3D artists don't always know about all the other 3D forums.

Please add me and thank you.

Code added to all four templates.

Nevermind. Sorry. Members are not enjoying it. It seems they believe it should be more 3D-Specific.
Taking it off the templates.
Please don't add me.

Still think it's an interesting idea.

I'm giving it a shot.

Removed - cheers for letting us know!

I don?t want to be a pain nor do I want to agitate members of this link but I like what you offer so I checked out several of the links and when I clicked; I noticed several sites have not placed or maybe removed the reciprocal link from their home page.

Is this strictly an honor system?

This a nice idea, I know there are loads of other Web Rings Out there, but seeing as this is for vBulletin sites only. It's a pretty neat idea.

However it seems to be loyality based after reading a few posts and your going to get people installing the banner at first, then removing it which is the only downside.
