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

honestly not much, admincp/forum.php is the only file to edit.. So you've got 3 queries to run, 1 file to add to twice, 1 template to add to, and 3 phrases to add. Then all you do is make a dir "fhbanner" in your forums /images folder..

Are you sure you have ran the sql query correct? it's saying that one of the fields isn't there

I have it working on 3.53. Just had to change the admincp slightly from this in the directions:

Find:
$forum['description'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['description']);

below add:
$forum['fhbanner'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['fhbanner']);
$forum['fhbannerlink'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['fhbannerlink']);
$forum['fhmessage'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['fhmessage']);

to this -->
below add (instead of above):
$forum['fhbanner'] = str_replace('&', '&', $forum['fhbanner']);
$forum['fhbannerlink'] = str_replace('&', '&', $forum['fhbannerlink']);
$forum['fhmessage'] = str_replace('&', '&', $forum['fhmessage']);

Or you could have just installed the 3.5.x plugin found here

Howdy · #**110** 03-16-2006, 06:27 PM

yea I just saw that...

Anyone know if this would work on 3.6.3 or better ? Maybe a similar hack somewhere else ?
