Add a Header / Footer option to each forum

Add a Header / Footer option to each forum V.1.0
Tested on vBulletin: 3.5.0 RC2,RC3

This is a Port from a previous hack by ChurchMedia.

*** Header/Footer For Each Forum and Threads in that Forum (VB 3.0x) - BY: ChurchMedia
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=65890


*** Info:
This modification will allow you to add an extra, unique header and footer for each forum.
You can use HTML, javascript, but no PHP.

--------------------------------------------------*/

Upload the "Product" and edit 2 templates, It's a snap.
:rambo:

There is also an Upgrade XML file for all the users that upgrated from VB3.x vs. new install.

I looked and played with the location of the 2 Variables:

$foruminfo[forumheader] // header
$foruminfo[forumfooter] // footer

The ver. that ChurchMedia did makes 2 edits to 2 template(below).

(ForumDisplay, Showthread - after $navbar and before $footer)

$navbar
<------------------------------------------->
BELOW ADD:
<------------------------------------------->
$foruminfo[forumheader]
<------------------------------------------->


$footer
<------------------------------------------->
ABOVE ADD:
<------------------------------------------->
$foruminfo[forumfooter]

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--
2b.) Revised Ideas

Note: I make 1 edit to 2 templates

$foruminfo[forumheader] to the "navbar" template (after everything to show up under)
OR
$foruminfo[forumheader] to the "header" template (many places) to show up on both ForumDisplay, Showthread.

AND
$foruminfo[forumfooter] to the "footer" template to show up on both ForumDisplay, Showthread.

****
On every page except forumdisplay.php and showthread.php the Variables will not show up.

*** Useage:

For extra header/footer go to Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Edit forum => scroll do to the bottom enter your details.

Thanks for posting this! I came to specifically look for a forum header plug-in, and I can't believe that you just posted it today. Awesome.

This is great, good plugin. Anychance of having a similiar plugin made, to add html / javascript to the top or bottom of every page including forums home page ? The plugin of this type would be an easy way to add menu's etc., without having to go and mingle it with other stuff on an existing header.

place your code in the header template ??

Yes that is what I have already done, you just have to find the exact spot to put each time you update it, it is not a big deal by no means, just thought a separate place to enter the extra code without being concerned or finding the spot might make it easilier if you update/change it often.
