- url - the URL of the FHG itself
- type - the type number of the hosted adtool
- num - the number of clips in the gallery
- thumb - the thumbnail url of the adtool
- name - the primary name of the adtool
- groups - the group the adtool belongs in
- description - an extended description of the adtool
- byo_owner - the owner's loginid (only applies to BYOA module)
- byo_program - the program the BYOA adtool belongs to (only applies to BYOA module)
- byo_owner_only - flag that indicates only the BYOA owner can use this adtool

- desc5 - fifth description of the adtool
- thumb2 - a second thumbnail for the adtool
- thumb3 - a third thumbnail for the adtool
- thumb4 - a fourth thumbnail for the adtool

Notes
The following numbers represent the following options to the type parameter:
- 1 = Gallery (Pics)
- 2 = Gallery (Movies)
- 3 = Free Site
- 4 = Console
- 5 = GB Template (Pics)
- 6 = GB Template (Movies)
- 7 = (reserved for future use)
- 8 = Gallery (Mixed)
Ranges can be specified in the following formats: "1, 2, 7" or "2-5, 23".
Example
{fhg siteid="2, 4-6, 9-13" added_before="april" added_after="2007-10-14" not_adid="250-344"}
The example above retrieves information about all hosted adtools added before April of this year -- but after 10 October 2007. The output is further restricted to adtools that belong to any of the following sites: 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13. Also, any adtool with an adid between 250-344 will be excluded from the results. If you use the Build Your Anything Module (BYOA), this function also considers whether or not the affiliate is authorized to see that particular adtool.
To get the URL of the fifth adtool retrieved by the function, put {$fhg[4].url} in your template.
Extended Example
This code is tabulated to show the flow of the code; if sending text emails, you'll want to remove the tabulation.
Variables in this example:
- $program the id of the program you want to be used in affiliate link codes
- $sitelist a comma-delimited list of each site you want to show fhgs for
For each of the sites chosen, this code will show first picture galleries, then movie galleries. For each gallery, it will show the date it was added, and the url (with the affiliate's nats code attached).
