This is a simple coupon that users can print and use for physical items.

1. In your Admin Control Panel go Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Add New Template and create a template called "coupon" which contains the following:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] Coupons</title>
$headinclude
</head>

$header
$navbar
<!-- BEGIN COUPON -->
<center><table border="1" bordercolor="red" cellpadding="10">
<tr>
<td><center><B>COUPON</B><P>Good for $5 off 1 Large Pizza<p>expires October 31, 2005</center></td></B></td>
</tr>
</table></center><p>
<center><table border="1" bordercolor="red" cellpadding="10">
<tr>
<td><center><B>COUPON</B><P>Good for $3 off 1 Medium Pizza<p>expires October 31, 2005</center></td></B></td>
</tr>
</table></center><p>
<!-- END COUPON -->
$footer
</body>
</html>

Substitute your own coupon(s) for the above HTML code between  and  This can be as simple or as fancy as you want to be, and can obviously include images, etc..

2. Go to Adimin CP ->Styles & Templates -> Edit Templates and open the NAVBAR template and search for the following:

Code:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[subscribed_threads]</a></td></tr>

BEFORE add:

Code:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="coupon.php">Coupons</a></td></tr>

Save the template.

3. Upload coupon.php to your forum root directory

4. That's it. To view your page go to: http://yoursite.com/forum/coupon.php or visit the page via the Quick Links in the Navbar

TO DO LIST (any help on these is appreciated):
The coupons will be administered from the ACP with fields for Coupon title, value and the number of days in which it is set to expire, as well as conditionals for usergroups. Also support for user location ("Now viewing Coupons") as well as template cache fix.

PLEASE CLICK INSTALL

Here is a screenshot. As I said, nothing fancy, but you can obviously make the html as simple or as complex as you want.

Aside from the items mentioned in the "TO DO" list above, what else would you like to see in this hack?

Well.. It doesn't use the phrases, it doesn't use variables so that it's look can be changed in the AdminCP, it makes an error on the who is online page.. You should integrate it because for now this hack is.. useless

Well, I agree it needs work, and I plan on doing all of the things listed in the TO DO list shortly, however I must disagree that it is not completely useless since I have already seen one of those coupons come in to my shop

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
