I don't mean seperate skins, but just seperate sub-banners below the main banner on different forums.

Sub-banners can be turned on and off per-forum in the ACP.

Here is a mock-up of what I mean

You just put them into the skin manually don't you?
lol

---

Yes, it looks like something you would put in the skin.
Is this to rotate ads banners?

---

an example is:

forum.starmen.net/

if you click on a diffrent section the banner will change depending on the section.

Wouldn't you need duplicate copies of the same skin though?
If you have 5 forums, where each 5 had a different sub-banner, wouldn't you need 5 seperate copies of the skin to do it skin-side?

That's why I was thinking, something like IPB does with their "rules" for each seperate forum. Where the rules are displayed above the forum. BUT, in this case, a sub-banner would be displayed on the different forums.

It would be a code...a very complacated code.

Yeah, I have an idea of what type of code, but for the average person downloading NextBBS that doesn't know much about coding, IF they wanted a feature like this.... it's not likely they can do it.


Something like:

Get the current do= value, and if it was say 'page1' then when fetching the links from the db and writing it to an output variable Then change the entry with page1 in it to one that used a different image. BUT that is a lot of work and like I said before anyone that wants this and isn't good at scripitng is going to have a very very hard time doing it. And I'm not even 100% sure if that would work.

It could be like a feature that other bbs systems don't have, to make NextBBS more desireable

Yes that's an awesome idea, please add it Chris because I was about to suggest it before Jasper did lol. Banners for every forum would be awesome.

---

I'll see if I can code it when get home. I've been brainstorming on how I'm going to implement this and it seems like it'll work.
I'll let everyone know if I can do this project by 12am et.

Let's hang on to Harmor, it's not everyday that you find people who walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

It's possible to do and it's not as hard as trinest claims.

This is all I added to index.php

PHP Code:

$level = !empty($INPUT['level']) ? $INPUT['level'] : false;        $getads = "SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG->dbprfx}ad_system WHERE enabled = '1' AND page='$page' AND level='$level' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1 "; $qryads = $DB->query($getads);  while($ad = $qryads->fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC))   {        $ad['link_perms'] = explode(",", $ad['link_perms']);                     if(in_array($USER->group, $ad['link_perms']) )          {                 $TEMPLATE->assign("ad", $ad['code']);          }    }

Go here and under the chat you should see either "Test Code 1" or "Test Code 2". Keep refreshing the page and it'll change. You may have to refresh it a couple times.

Edit: I updated the code so you can have different banners on different forums. Before if you went to www.xenweb.net/nextbbs/index.php?do=main&level=2 it would still consider that "main" because of the "?do=main" in the URL.
Now you can have a completely different banner per forum thanks to my great coding skills.

I'll make it so you can hide the banners to different usergroups. It won't take long, I'll just copy the algorithm I used for the NavLinks to this hack.

Edit 2: I updated the code once again so you can use usergroup permissions per banner.

Wow you're awesome

I've been wanting something like this since 0.4.3 :P

Thank you!!
I like being the only one on here that understands this software's coding (other than Chris).

I'll be releasing another hack in like 5 minutes.

The hack is coming along nicely. I'm just copying the code from my "NavLinks" hack and modifying it. I estimate that I should be done in a couple hours but no promises.
I just have to finish up the administrator backend, take screenshots, and write instructions.

Edit:
I claimed I would finish this in a couple hours and that was at 4:24 am. It is now 5:09am. So it took me under an hour, man can I code.
You better appreciate it Jasper and whoever else wanted this hack.

Wow don't forget to get some sleep too.

I like the concept very much, I'm thinking about integrating the hack in the next release.

That would be cool

A lot of his hacks would be awesome in the next release
