Forum Home Enhancements - Forum Affiliates

Hey all,

My vBulletin licence has now run dry and so I'll have to wait until I have enough cash to purchase a new one before I continue / start production on new and previous modifications.

But before it run out, I managed to finish this modification which I thought you might find useful.

Easy installation as per usual, just upload the product and install

See screenshots for description, since it says it itself.

I will try my best to give support on the mod.

Thanks and enjoy

- Marky

It adds a box below the stats at the bottom of your forums (See screenshot) that allows you to add up to 10 different affiliates, and completely customize the box, such as box title and even the affiliates image to blend well into the forum.

Installation is simple, and should take around a minute (if that).
Just upload the product given, and follow the instruction given for the template edit. Then you can customize the options straight from the vBulletin Options.

Products: 1

Donations

I create vBulletin modifications for the vBulletin community, and of course I do not get paid to do it. I would be very grateful if you donated to me if you like my modifications. But of course this is optional

<img border="0" src="image.gif">
For swf:
<object width="xx" height="xx"><param name="movie" value="movie.swf"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="movie.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="xx" height="xx"></embed></object>



1) How about the option to have either one from the theme folder and a custom one?

2) That's a definate. I'll be going back to school tommorow, but if I don't have too much on, I'll get this done by tommorow



Yes sorry the instructions are rushed I agree. I will update them soon to make them clearer and of course give you different places to stick the affiliates box

And on the AJAX front, unfortunatly I can't do AJAX But I'll definatly consider an alternative way...

Had a bit of spare time, thought I'd throw it up instead of tommorow

Enjoy!

[deezelpope]

Very nice! Installed, thank you!:up:

[jimnyc]

Love the hack, thank you!

If I use up all 10 links, how can I add more? I have all ten filled already and need to add more but can't figure out how. I'm actually not using for affiliates, but for board contributors, that's why I need more than 10.

Thanks for any advice!
