Chris 09-02-2008, 09:14 PM This is a simple hack that lets you add a Link To Us page to your forum. You can put up to 3 different banners or buttons on the page. If you just want 1 banner showing then you can turn off the other 2.
It uses no plugins.
You just import the product and upload the linktous.php file to your forum root directory. Your settings are located in your vboptions in adminCP. You can edit your navbar to add the link to us link. The instructions are included in the zip file.
I would say it only takes about 3-5 minutes to install this hack. If even that long.
All I ask is that you leave the line in the footer on the page. Do not remove it please.
If you have any questions please ask. I will do my best to provide support.
Here is a demo for you to see it live:

zombietom 09-03-2008, 04:01 PM I have installed this mod and it work very well, the only thing i did was add a link in my forum nav. bar instead of editing the templete. you can view my site at www.tzaclan.net (http://www.tzaclan.net) i have several themes installed and found it easier to add the "link to us" in the nav. list on the left of my pages.
thanks for the mod --been wanting this for some time now.
Peggy 09-03-2008, 06:58 PM I don't see it in the navbar, probably because I'm not registered and logged in.
Great idea tho!
Chris 09-03-2008, 09:37 PM Thanks zombie glad you like it. It looks good on your site.
Peggy look in the left column on his website for the link.
zombietom 09-03-2008, 10:51 PM Yeah it works fine, i have added all three banners now --any way to add more banners?
Chris 09-05-2008, 12:48 AM Yes there is a way. Are you any good at adding and changing code?
zombietom 09-05-2008, 07:00 AM Not real good but i might be able to do it.
Chris 09-05-2008, 10:07 PM How many more are you wanting to add?
zombietom 09-06-2008, 01:14 PM about 3 or 4
Chris 09-06-2008, 09:45 PM OK give me some time and I will make the hack so you can add up to 8 banners total. How does that sound. I will update it here once I do this.
zombietom 09-06-2008, 09:50 PM ok, sound super to me --thanks
The Curut 09-09-2008, 05:28 AM Thank You Mate
Chris 09-12-2008, 07:26 PM your welcome :D
Jinglebelle 11-03-2008, 10:30 AM How does one import? In the AdminCP?
I clicked Import, but I do not have a customer number... :confused: Or am I in the wrong place?
Thx ;)
Peggy 11-03-2008, 11:38 AM Wrong place, lol.
In your ACP, go to the bottom of the left hand menu, where it says products and plugins, or something like that. Click on that, then click on the product manager, then click on the link that says Import product (or something like that). Browse to find the xml whereever you have it on your computer, and import it.

If you don't get it let me know and while I am on the forum tonight I will add it for you.

rolfw 11-08-2008, 12:58 PM Thanks Chris, installed, just what I wanted. :)
Chris 11-08-2008, 04:19 PM Your welcome! :D

any luck on this --if not i should be able to add the code --let me know and thanks
Chris 11-10-2008, 11:10 PM Sorry I had forgot. Right now you can just add the code and change the fields to your new banners or what not.
Just add the code below where you want the new banner to show up and change the fields to your info:
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">
Width:BANNER WIDTH Height:BANNER HEIGHT<br />
<img src="LINK TO BANNER" width="BANNER WIDTH" height="BANNER HEIGHT" />
<div style="padding:3px"><textarea id="txtarea2" onClick="SelectAll('txtarea2');" rows="2" cols="55"><a href=$vboptions[homeurl]><img src="LINK TO BANNER" width="BANNER WIDTH" height="BANNER HEIGHT" alt="WHATEVER YOU WANT HERE" border="0" /></textarea></div>
</td>
</tr>
Be sure to change the text area numbers to a unique number but make sure both text areas are the same number for each banner, but different from the other banners.
Just add the code above above this code:
</table>
</div>
Any questions just ask. I hope to have time to update this soon. Sorry about that.
