Forum Home Enhancements - SponsorIt

Due to the pricing and yearly fee of vBulletin I am no longer creating mods for vBulletin, instead I have stepped out of the shadow of vBulletin to create my own stand alone mods. I wish to thank everyone who downloaded and installed my mods but as of now with not being able to afford hosting and vBulletin, I decided to drop vBulletin so hopes of me returning would only happen if my newest venture brings me a nice profit.

Thank you all again
Steve

I don't have any plans for the update to come out for a bit longer as I gotta concentrate on my job this week so time will be minimum for doing mods but I will try to get an update to this with a few other features added.

If you want to see a feature, suggest it, lets see if I can get it done.

Now thats better, I will accept those feature requests as they make sense. I will just end up adding vB Settings for that type of stuff. w00t

Fixed, redownload the zip file and you only have to reimport the xml file with overwrite enabled.

Edited the template and the Sponsor table is 100% width while my forum is adjustable width just like vb.org

Also, where do i add pictures, banner ? I didn't see any options anywhere.

[Mythotical]

For now you'll have to upload the banner images to a folder called /sponsors/ in your site root directory. Then enter just the name and extension of the image when adding the new sponsor. I plan to have the new upload option added in next release.

The width issue I will have fixed hopefully soon.

Right now I'm having an issue with a 13 yr old who keeps DDoSing my site so I can't access any of my stuff. We are currently switching hosts because our current host won't do anything to prevent this so I'm going back to HostGator. Hopefully this will be done in the comings hours so I can fixed the issue.

Try changing the code you added in FORUMHOME to this:

<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="6" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
Sponsors
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="6" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
   <table width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
    <tr>
$sponsor_bits
    </tr>
   </table>
</td>
</tr>

Look at the bottom of my forum on my signature. The table is still 100%

Where do i add new sponsor ? VB Options ?

[Mythotical]

Quantnet: Move the code above the </table> right above it.

You add sponsors through the ACP, you will see a navigation drop down to the left called TFW Sponsor, click the arrow to expand then click Add Sponsor

I have not included any vB Options with this mod, which I will to add the new features mentioned.
