Banner ad on forum Home · **Released**: 04-16-2004

Adapted from "Add a banner image to each forum" script by Harrybutt
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61555

This modification will add an image banner with link and text to each forum you choose, and display it in on your forumhome, you can have a different banner for each forum with additional text above the banner like Sponsored by or affiliated with, or you can choose to have no text.

I have used 100x25px images for the example screen shot, but you can use what ever size you like, but remember it will effect the way your forum looks.

Hope people find this usful, this is my first hack as I'm still a big noob when it come's to hacking

Opps sorry made a slight error in the dir name, it's fixed now

For 3.5.x look here

I'm sure it could be modified to retrieve HTML files rather that pictures, but I'm not sure about using both together, after all you only usually have one Google ad account.

I do have only one google ad account but I use the ad code on all my sites. Seems to work.. I would like to use google ad sence buttons. I think they would fit perfectly.

How hard would it be to mod this???

Thanks

Sorry I was thinking I was replying to my rotating banner mod, it's been a long day :surprised:

I will have a look at it for you see what I can do

Doesn't the Adsense TOS specifically state that there can be only one instance of their ads per page?

RichieBoy67 · #39 07-03-2004, 12:46 PM

I'm not really sure but why would they care? When ever somebody clicks they are making much more than us???

Unfortunatly I do not have any paid advertisers yet other than Google...

Good hack but I get this message when I try to add a banner to my main forum.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Check your mysql table it looks like you don't have fhbanner in it, also do your forum tables have a prefix on them?
