Partner Box for Forumhome · **Released**: 08-18-2006

I installed several styles to my board and manually had to include a Partner Box to each of them at the end of my FORUMHOME.
Because I am a little bit lazy I thought it is a good idea to write a small product adding the Partner Box for me where I want it, creating templates and phrases.

I have NEVER written a product for vBulletin on my own and I have no idea about php and all this stuff, but I installed many products and spent a few minutes to take a look how other authors solved such things.

Well, I was successful, the product is working fine for me.

Installation:
1. Install product-forumhome_partners.xml
2. Edit forumhome_partner_sites to fit your needs

Hint:
You can place the Box everywhere you want on forumhome by changing a small thing in the product-forumhome_partners.xml file.
Open it with an editor before importing it and search for:

Code:

$search_text = '<!-- / icons and login code -->';

Replace  with something unique of your FORUMHOME Template, $footer for example.

I am starting to love the new product system making such things so easy

If you like it don't forget to click on INSTALL!

Thanks a lot for this nice addon.

I've made a few changes to it though, in order to make it easier to "nicely" show the affiliates in multiple columns, it's only a template edit so I'll post it here:

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css">
.affiliates {
	padding: 0;
	margin:	0;
}
.affiliates li {
	display:inline;
	width:15em;
	float:left;
	padding-left:0.5em;
	padding-right:0.5em;
}
.clear {
	clear:both;
}</style>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%"> 
<tr> 
<td class="tcat"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_affiliates')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_affiliates" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_affiliates].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><b><center>$vbphrase[partner_sites]</center></b></td>
</tr>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_affiliates" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_affiliates]">
<tr>
<td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><b><center>Category 1</center></b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td class="alt1">
  	<ul class="affiliates">
	<li>
		<a href="http://leftblank.nl/" target="_blank" title="Demo Link">Demo Link</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="http://leftblank.nl/" target="_blank" title="Demo Link">Demo Link</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="http://leftblank.nl/" target="_blank" title="Demo Link">Demo Link</a>
	</li>
	</ul>
	<b class="clear" />
  </td> 
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><b><center>Category 2</center></b></span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td class="alt1">
  	<ul class="affiliates">
	<li>
		<a href="http://leftblank.nl/" target="_blank" title="Demo Link">Demo Link</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="http://leftblank.nl/" target="_blank" title="Demo Link">Demo Link</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="http://leftblank.nl/" target="_blank" title="Demo Link">Demo Link</a>
	</li>
	</ul>
	<b class="clear" />
  </td>
  </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />

You should ofcourse change the demo links to your own, but I guess this should be pretty straightforward.

Edit: Heres (another) example showing the box with multiple links:

Edit2: removed the style-specific CSS.

Thanks. Can you post a screenshot of your changes so that we all can see what it will look like afterwards?

Yorixz, a screenshot would be nice

[high]* utw-Mephisto clicks install ...

I won't use it for partner, but I was looking for the code for a simple box which this hack provides

Thanks for that ..

One additional thing though : You use hex code as BG color - shouldn't you rather use classes to make sure it looks nice on every style ?
