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 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> In forum.php (under your admin folder) add PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Still in forum.php, replace PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Still in forum.php, add PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Still in forum.php, replace PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Save and upload forum.php. In index.php (the main folder) replace this line PHP Code:
PHP Code:
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! Show Your Support

are there any screen shots of the admin functions for this hack?
I guess what I'm wondering is: How easy is it to add the sponsor information & images? Thx! |

this hack uses the 'sponsorimg' field in order to display the rest of the fields. I do not use the sponsorimg field (don't like to display sponsors logos). If you install it and don't include an image for the sponsor, don't expect it to work, but the hack of the hack is easy...just a heads up...
just change this line: if ($forum['sponsorimg'] && $forum['cancontainthreads']==0 && $depth==1) { to if ($forum['sponsorurl'] && $forum['cancontainthreads']==0 && $depth==1) { (assuming you included a link to the sponsor's site) |
