vB Sponsors
by Mist


Description:

Wow my first major hack is finally here. This hack allows you to add sponsors to forums via the administrators control panel. You can only have one sponsor per forum. The way in which this hack differs from all others is that it displays it inside the forum (in forumdisplay.php). It allows you to select a sponsor name, image, url, and log views and clicks for each banner (which are all editable via the administrators control panel).

Features:

• Sponsors on forumdisplay
• Easily edit your sponsors for each forum via the Admin CP
• Logs clicks and views for each sponsor
• A wide variety of customizable options via the Admin CP (coming soon)

Installation:

• Simply follow the instruction in the attachment

Credits:

• NanoEntity for guidance on the click logging.

Thanks forthe feedback Stam...

But the problem is there is only one banner per row - the ideal way to do this is with a new table and join it to the forum table - i'm not that experienced enough yet though

Does it show anything on the forum home page to indicate the forum is sponsored or just within the forum itself?

Does this support styles like ekko and noviia? I installed as per instructios and went over them 2 times and I see no change in my forum. I can see no sponsors at all. I edited the sponsor info in the admincp, still nothing.

Well it depends how modified the forumdisplay template for those skins are. From what i've seen on them they should work

Go back and re-do the changes as the style will not effect this hack other than if the forumdisplay template is heavily modified it may distort the tables

Can this hack be changed/tweaked in such a way that, the forum sponsor is just a button ad of size say 88 x 31 or 100 x 28 ??

And this button should appear in the home page of forums in the moderator column...instead of the moderator list.

And this sponsor can be different for different forums and each one can have specific image !

And with this change, the hack should work on ver 2.3.0, if its already not working in ver230 !

Thanks

i went through the whole set of instructs one at a time, and went over it twice.. where is the option for the sponser stuff in the admincp? nothign shows up at all in either my admin cp or the actual forums. i made sure i did everythign inthe text file as well as everyhtign listing int his thread. but still to no avial.. is the sponser thign in the "vbulletin options?" or .. im so confused. i would be greatly indebted if someone could show em the way.

You go to edit a forum. Then there is all the options there
