Works with vBulletin v2.2.0!

This hack will allow you to add banners to your categories row (like done on SitePointForum.com - use that as a demo ).
You can add / remove sponsors for any category that exists and also on creation (of category) time.
You can specify the name, banner url and the sponsor's site.
Currently it only supports categories from level 1, and only on forum index. -if you want more please tell and I'll see what I can do.
Umm, that's it I think. Installation is fairly easy (and the hack itself didn't take too much time ), so you shouldn't have any problems.

Feedback from any kind is very appreciated!

First of all, run the following query
Code:
ALTER TABLE forum ADD sponsorname VARCHAR(100) not null AFTER cancontainthreads, ADD sponsorimg VARCHAR(100) not null AFTER sponsorname, ADD sponsorurl VARCHAR(255) not null AFTER sponsorimg
For more info about running queries take a look here or here.

Add a custom template, name it forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost_sponsor and put the following in it:
Code:
<tr id="cat">
	<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="2"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
	<br><smallfont color="{categoryfontcolor}">$forum[description]</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="4"><a href="$forum[sponsorurl]" target="_blank"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[sponsorimg]" border="0" alt="Proudly sponsored by $forum[sponsorname]"></a></td>
</tr>
(You can tweak this for your tables. Playing around with the colspans should be enough though. This is for the default table structure)

In forum.php (under your admin folder) add
PHP Code:
  maketableheader("Sponsors</b> <i>Only supported by categories</i>","",0);

  
makeinputcode("Sponsor name","sponsorname");
  
makeinputcode("Sponsor banner file<br>(your default images folder is added, no need in that)","sponsorimg");
  
makeinputcode("Sponsor full URL","sponsorurl"); 
right after
PHP Code:
  makeyesnocode("Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts?","countposts",1); 
(around line 121)

Still in forum.php, replace
PHP Code:
  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum
                      (forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid,
                       parentlist,allowposting,cancontainthreads,daysprune,newpostemail,newthreademail,

(around lines 261-273)
Save and upload forum.php.

In index.php (the main folder) replace this line
PHP Code:
        eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";"); 
with this code
PHP Code:
        if ($forum['sponsorimg'] && $forum['cancontainthreads']==&& $depth==1) {
          eval(
"\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost_sponsor")."\";");
        } else {
          eval(
"\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");
        } 
(around line 298)
Save and upload index.php.

That's it.
If you did everything correctly (it wasn't very hard, was it? ) and I didn't do any mistakes (it's tested alright!, but I might have forgot something to post), you can start adding sponsors to your forum!

I tried that, it does not show... Please where do you include the required templates? I placed them twice in forumdisplay.php with all others.

I got it to work on the main page. It is the forumdisplay that does not show. I am using 2.21

I tried to extend the hack so image shows in forumdisplay but it does not work. The only thing that I am not sure is where to include the template in what list?

I put mine in the forum display template, right above the $forumslist variable.

I meant
forumdisplay_sponsoredby
you said that you placed it in the list of required templates.

Where is that list?

Ah gotcha!

There is a link to add new templates. Click the link, pick the template set that you want to use it in, and then paste in the code that I supplied.

I did all that before. I thought you meant to place it in forumdisplay.php templatesused=

Any way I can't get it to work on forum display. On main page it is fine...

I got it to work but it is not what I was hoping. Maybe you can help?

Look here and you will see image. Click on main category. This is where I wanted to show it also. Yours shows in Forum 1 which is even great.

I fixed that on mine as well.

Right now, you placed the code somewhere beneath this

PHP Code:
if ($foruminfo['allowposting']==1
Cut out the code that you added, and paste it right below this instead.

PHP Code:
unset($imodcache); 
Right now, the code is placed only in forums that allow posting. Moving it up a bit gets it on the category pages as well. I don't have the exact code for you because I am no longer running this exact hack.
