Updated to 1.0.01.

It is not an importiant update from 1.0.0(so if you have 1.0.0 installed you can just leave it).

It is under Forum Admin - Managment - (select edit on the forum you want to have a sponsor).

I forgot about 1 minor detail in the mod install package, so it won't say "Forum Sponsor" next to the box for it, but it is the textbox on the bottom without any text to the left of it telling what it is for.

I fixed it for the next version, but to fix it yourself do this:

Code: Select all

Open

admin/admin_forums.php

Find

            'SPONSOR'      => $forum_sponsor,

After, add

            'L_FORUM_SPONSOR' => $lang['Forum_Sponsor'],

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
rnd.today=new Date();
rnd.seed=rnd.today.getTime();

function rnd() {
        rnd.seed = (rnd.seed*9301+49297) % 233280;
        return rnd.seed/(233280.0);
};

function rand(number) {
   var result = Math.ceil(rnd()*number);
   if (!result)result++;
        return result
};
var ad_cnt1 = 4;
var ad1 = rand(ad_cnt1);
var link1;
var adBanner1;
var width1
var height1
if (ad1==1) {

You need to make that change, and then you should be able to put your javascript in for the sponsor and it _should_ work.

Not using the mod myself,but just to see what it looked like i went to the forum, Possibly just the ad but when i refreshed it it was the same, Plus i click "Install this plugin" and it gave me to "unkown plugin" in firefox, Please be aware im talking about the ad and not the phpbb plugin .
Possibly related to the plugin? Not sure but im posting here just in case so your aware, Just in case It's really to early for me to be up anyways so meh.

That is a sound clip, which is something Firefox does not like. If you open it in IE it works fine.

Hello,

I installed the sponsors mod because i think it is very usefull and handy.
When I ad a new banner the startdate is 31-12-2008 and when I change it to 01-01-2008 it won't be saved.
Because when I have saved the banner and edit it afterwards the startdate is again 31-12-2008?
So I dont see any banner above the forums.I think because of the startdate.

When is place a banner direct beneath a forum in the ACP it shows in the right forum.
So the code for displaying the banners must be okay?
