This is a port of this hack:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64615

Instructions:

1) Unzip and overwrite the 'banner03_468x60.gif' file with your own banner (keeping the same name, obviously). Then upload the files to your site, keeping the same directory structure. (http://www.sitename.com/images/banners/banner03_468x60.gif)

2) Upload product.

3) Then add:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

In the navbar where ever you want the link to appear.

Right now it only shows one banner but you can manually add more by editing the LinkMe template. Soon I'll try and make it where you can add banners via the admincp. Enjoy. :D

If you installed the previous version for vb3.0, you will no longer use the www.sitename.com/linkme.php link anymore. The link will now be http://www.sitename.com/misc.php?do=linkme and also, you will need to revert/delete your linkme template before uploading the product.

And make sure you have the site url in your admincp -> vboptions is set properly or else your images will not appear.

See link (http://www.cobaltss.net/forums/LinkMe.php)

This port doesn't use the php file. The page is now at:

http://www.xxxxxxx.net/forums/misc.php?do=linkme

Okay, backup your LinkMe.php file and then replace the contents with this:

Code:

It's looking in root/images/banners. Try changing:

Neat!

How tough would it be to make the link work from a portal page like drupal (with the vBdrupal integration product)?

well with me it doesn't work as is..

$vboptions[bburl] is empty in a php file!

i have to use $vbulletin->options['bburl'] instead!!!

actually i have to replace:

<IMG SRC=\"$vboptions[bburl]/forums/images/banners/".$file."\">

with

<IMG SRC=\"".$vbulletin->options['bburl']."/forums/images/banners/".$file."\">

and so on....

arer u sure this is for 3.54???????

FelixThanks for this...it helped me figure out how to get my old LinkMe hack working on 3.5. It may not be the right way but it friggin works. Woot.
