Ad your Banner(s) to Subforums! · **Released**: 09-18-2002

K, do not know if this is interesting but if it is let me know and I will make a hack-manual...

Throuhg my hack you can add Banners to your subforums. It will add an extra column to your subforum and in your Admin CP you can fill out the image and link to which the image should refer to.

You can do this per sub-forum..see my snapshots...

Let me know what you think...

I'd like to add this to the MAIN forums page and the same banners to be used onto the subforums too... but only administered once. Is that possible?

Example
I uploaded a banner called bannertest.jpg to my /images folder on my site www.inventoruser.nl where Vbulletin is.
So the Insert link to banner image is http://www.inventorusers.nl/images/bannertest.jpg
So the Insert link to banner site is http://www.inventorusers.nl

Save Changes and you are done...

See my snapshot "Banners on homepage"!!!

Webmasta XT · #18 09-22-2002, 03:14 PM

nice idea, but very very useless for me..

Jaiem · #19 09-26-2002, 04:34 AM

I don't understand the function of this hack.

Where in the image example is the banner that has been added??

leon2u · #20 09-26-2002, 06:08 AM

You upload your banner(s) to your image folder on the server!
E.g.
../images/
../imgages/mybanner
etc...

Then in the control panel you go to modify forums and then on any forum you have you can click on the edit button. Then at the bottem there is the section where you can add you links to the bannerimage and which link the banner should have.
