Subject: Custom banner on the right side of the forum
Date Posted: 26 January 2010 at 3:30pm

Greetings,

I want to be able to add a custom banner to the right side of the forum. Which page do I need to modify in order to get this done? I want to shrink the table to adjust the banner. Please check the picture below. Has anyone tried doing this before? Please let me know.

I want to apologize for posting in an inappropriate section because I was not able to post in Version 7.x. I am currently using version 7.51 a.

Thank you very much.

My advice first of all would be http://www.webwiz.net/webwizforums/webwizforums_downloads.asp" rel="nofollow - upgrade your software to the latest version which is 9.65 as version 7.51a is so old now and subject to possible security vulnerabilities -
If this is a paid for version contact http://www.webwiz.net/contact/contact_sales.asp" rel="nofollow - sales support to check if you are entitled to a free upgrade

MrTWS,

Thank you for responding to my question. I think it's a free version but I will go ahead and double check.

On Topic:
Still my question is unanswered. I understand the benefit of upgrading. By upgrading will I be able to add a banner where I want?

Hoping for an specific answer.

Thank you.

Hi AD
I don't have the time tonight right now to answer (or should I say) give the right answer, but yes it can be done to have a banner down left or right hand side of the forum
An example here on our http://www.mrtws.com/forums.html" rel="nofollow - TWS forums shows a banner or links down the left hand side, but yes I know a banner can be placed left or right

AD_, i am not sure if it is the same thing, but to put a banner on the right side of your forum header, it should be the header.asp file in your includes folder, but this is for the latest version, maybe it will be the same for you...

You say about shrink the table, is it a vertical banner on right side? If it is, you will need to change some other files.

Hi Slog,

Thank you for your input. I tried to change the header file but no luck yet. There must be a guideline regarding adding a banner to the right side of the forums. Every forums I've ever used had this option. Hoping for the best.

Thanks,

AD_, if you use the latest version you can do like that on the header file:


<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />
<script language="javascript" src="includes/default_javascript_v9.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<table class="basicTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center">
 <tr> 
  <td><% 
   
'If there is a forum image then dsiplay it
If NOT strTitleImage = "" Then Response.Write("<a href=""" & strWebsiteURL & """><img src=""" & strTitleImage & """ border=""0"" alt=""" & strWebsiteName & " " & strTxtHomepage & """ title=""" & strWebsiteName & " " & strTxtHomepage & """ /></a>")

%></td>

<!-- Banner -->
<td>
<a href="topic334_post2444.html"><img src="forum_images/banner_fim_de_ano_rtf.png" border="0" alt="Festa de Fim de Ano do RTF" title="Festa de Fim de Ano do RTF" /></a>
</td>

That is what i did and worked just fine.

Hope it helps.

Not sure if that is going to work because I do not have the latest version. My header file does not look like yours.

I suggest you upgrade to the latest version first, and then I can try to show you an example

Okay - I'm late in coming back but this kind of stuff takes a while when you are a busy person you know LOL

Take a http://www.webhostingfree.co.uk/forum/default.asp" rel="nofollow - look at this example here which I've put together
The banners are designed to alternate as topics are viewed etc. Click refresh and you may see what I mean

This is very simple to do, and is very similar to my tutorial for Links on http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/tips/look/links-on-left.asp" rel="nofollow - Links on Left-Hand Side .

This is what you do is add the following to the relevant files:

Header.asp

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tr>
	<td valign="top">

Footer.asp

	</td>	<td valign="top"> *Banners here* </td>
</tr>
</table>

If your header file is different to the one posted previously in this thread, then it would be a good idea for you to post the contents of your header file to help us to help you.

MrTWS,

I want to have my banner the exact same way as you have it in your example. How do I implement this? Which file should I modify? Where exactly do I have to add the code? Please do so.

Scotty32,

Thank you for the response. I was able to add another table like you suggested. The content gets displayed as well. However, I want it to appear the exact same way as MrTWS has it on his example.

This is how it is displaying at the moment. I want the top banner to span across the page. Just like MrTWS has it on his example. The only place where I want right banner to appear is exactly where it is positioned now (below the empty space).

Here is my header file. I've just added new table as you suggested.

<script language="javascript" src="includes/default_javascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!--#include file="skin_file.asp" -->
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="<% = strBgColour %>" text="<% = strTextColour %>" background="<% = strBgImage %>">
<!-- <center><a href="bios/"><img src="forum_images/banner.gif" width="378" height="44" border="0"></a></center> --><table width="719" height="64" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="Table_01">
  <tr>
        <td colspan="15">

Well actually I modified several files and created one to make this work. However as I said earlier this is tested on version 9.65 and your version is quite a bit older now. As I suggested you would do well to upgrade to the latest version anyway, as I have no way to even test the suitability of what I did on an older version, if you get my drift
Perhaps if you PM me with your forum address I can see what you are actually seeing yourself, and offer some advice
