How to make a global 'Forum hosted by...'

[agent_smith]

Hello,

Are you fed up of editing each template's footer to say 'This forum is hosting by.... blah blah'?

Then i just thought of something which only requires a few mins to do, and does it on all skins and all boards :)


OPEN:
/includes/page_tail.php

FIND:
print file_get_contents('./nbs/footer_ads.txt');

UNDER ADD:
print file_get_contents('./nbs/linkbar.txt');

Save and close.



Then make a basic footer in note / word pad. I did:


This forum is hosted by EasyForumz.com! Get your own free phpBB forum now!
This forum is located on server #1 Save it as linkbar.txt (should automatically have .txt extension).

Upload it to:

/nbs/

Finished!

Then just edit that linkbar.txt when ever you want a global change of the footer. It also goes the same colour as the skin.

Matt.

Used it and it is a nice extra, thanks for this!


Maybe handy extra for others:

This is for in your linkbar.txt
This code is a 2 liner. First line to link to your signup page, second your hostedby line, bith with a link to them and centered. Nothing special, but just a handy extra...

<center>Get your own board for free <a href="http://www.yoururltothenewboardphp>HERE</a> <br>
This board is hosted by <a href="http://www.yourdomain">YourName</a></center>">http://www.yourdomain">YourName</a></center>

My 2 cents to a nice mod!

this isn't a mod. Create a admin file with this file then you can call this Mod

Actually it is a mod, a very small and simple one :p But it is a mod, and maybe he will make it for the acp, but just take a chill pill man :p
