Add-On Releases - Affiliation Display

3.8.x version can be found HERE.

Do you have so many affiliates that you just can't keep them all together on one line? Then this modification is for you! It uses a marquee to display your affiliates in it's own box in the "What's Going On?" area. The marquee is set up to stop when you hover over an affiliate and start back up when you are no longer hovering over an affiliate.

Edit your affiliate links and images via the AdminCP.


Installation
1.) Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forums root directory.
2.) Import the product-adblockalert.xml.
3.) Use this code as a guideline to displaying your affiliates:

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com"><img src="http://www.yourimagelink.com/imagelink.gif" border="0"></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com"><img src="http://www.yourimagelink.com/imagelink.gif" border="0"></a>

4.) Mark Installed. =]


Upgrade
For 4.5 and above import the product and select Allow Overwrite.

For anything previous to 4.5 you need to copy your affiliation_code and gfxaffiliation_code somewhere safe, then uninstall the old product, and install the latest. From there just transfer your codes to the AdminCP.


Display Issues
Some styles may not display the product correctly or you may wish to move it to a completely different area of the FORUMHOME. If this is the case import the disable automatic template edits via the AdminCP.

You then will need to find the following code in your FORUMHOME template:

		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$upcomingevents</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
</if>

Add after:

$affiliation

If you wish to display it somewhere else within your FORUMHOME template then just place $affiliation anywhere you wish inside your FORUMHOME template.

I could pull it off, but I kind of have my own website to worry about right now. IDK what's going on with it, but its lagging like mad crazy. I'll try to work on it somewhat soon.

EDIT:
Version 2.0 has been released and I added your request as a feature.

Uninstall the old one and then install the new one. Your affiliation is saved in a phrase, so you will lose no data by uninstalling.

id would be better if there opens a new window, clicking the linkpic instead in the same window could this be changed and how? thanks

[jlew24asu]

great hack. it would be nice to be able to install both xml's.

also, how can I move this above the forums? (and be able to move it back if I dont like the look or get negative feedback)

Why would there be a need for both XMLs at the same time?

Trust me, I've tried it in many different positions lol. It just doesn't work anywhere else as it looks out of place.

Yes this is quite simple actually, just add target="_blank" after the link like so:

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com" target="_blank">

LOL ok but do you mind if I give it a try? or are we stuck putting this where you think is best?
