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 know this is in final but could you add a comment into this? like when someone wants to put up a banner, the add a comment on why they should be affiliates

Chris M · #**103** 05-25-2003, 10:58 PM

You mean like a "site comment" field?

I could include it for the next version

If you would need some coding tips from it, I could give a look at it. Because I have one.

Because it was designed to show only a certain amount of banners...

Just set the showable amount of banners higher

If you want a page system, I am sure I can code something next week

Satan

Could someone tell me if the last version is a page system? That is what I am looking for. Thanks for the help.
