If you need custom version of this hack, pls contact me.

:::::UPDATE:::::
The product xml above will add 2 plugins and the ads stays fixed under navbar. This, however, may not be working with some custom skins if navbar template's codebit are changed. To fix that problem, open Banner System plugin (at global_start hook), replace the whole content with:


// Banner Ads System by tnguy3n
if($vbulletin->options['bannersys_mode'])
{
$getads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "

bannersys_banners WHERE status = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$ads = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getads);

// print banner ads
eval('$bannerads = "' . fetch_template('bannerads') . '";');

$vbulletin->db->free_result($getads);
unset($getads);
}


Next step, you'll have to modify some templates in order to display the ads, place this following code:
$bannerads
anywhere you want to show the ads.
If you want to show the ads globally on your forums, put that code in either header or navbar or footer template.

To enable/disable or change other settings of Banner System: vBulletin Options -> Banner System Settings
- Banner System Mode: yes = enable, no = disable
- Show Banners to Logged In Users: yes = everyone (including logged in users), no = only guests
- Ads In New Window: yes = open in new window, no = open in same window

[Hasann]

very usefully thanks for sharing

[croportal]

thanks, very nice

[mrusdy]

nice & cool

[Snake]

Whoa this is great! Thanks! :D

[jpt62089]

will this work with Adsense?

[Puntoboy]

is this just a simplified version of PHPadsnew?

[TheAllusionist]

Great I had one for 3.07 and have been looking for something like this. Quick question, are the banners linked to the advertiser or are they just images that rotate? Asking because I really need something that links to the sponsor's site. Either way, nice work!

[zahrani]

Great one.. thanks
it's working smoothly.

[athoob]

wonderful thanks

[JsnakeJ]

Great work. You forgot the Banner added phrase though. ;) Also try having it in a template instead of how it is currently, its cutting off my skins navbar.

[PennylessZ28]

thanks

[Rukas]

Exactly what Ive been looking for, will install and test when I get home and then donate something for your trouble, thanks.

[Rukas]

Ahh question, can we put the banner wherever we want or does it just stick it where it sticks it??

[tnguy3n]

It stays fixed below navbar, but if you need to put it somewhere else, that would be easy to do too.

[Akakios]

Hallo,

ich habe auch installiert aber obwohl im Admin funktioniert, in Hauptseite sehe ich keinen Banner.
Wo mache ich Fehler?

[Hasann]

Hallo akakios,

doch es funktioniert aber du musst nach der installation Erlaubnis geben für die Mitglieder okei?

unter AdminCP> Banner System> Banner Settings> Show Banners to Logged In Users?> Yes und speichern

[Akakios]

Hallo Hasann

leider das hat auch nicht geholfen.
Bei mir steht "You can set whether to show banner ads to logged in users here." und habe ich YES Markieren und gespeichert. Ader trotzdrm erscheint keiner Banner.
Soll ich vielleicht ein "include" oder so was in Template schreiben?
Übrigens, es gibt keine "neue Template" in zip ordner.

[Hasann]

hmm..,
hast du schon mal product_bannersys.xml datei durch admincp> plugin manager importiert?
und welche version von vBulletin hast du?

[tnguy3n]

I wish I know what you guys talk about. :D

[Akakios]

hmm..,
hast du schon mal product_bannersys.xml datei durch admincp> plugin manager importiert?
und welche version von vBulletin hast du?

Ich habe alle richtig installiert. Und zwar banner erscheint sich im Admin dass installiert ist.
Ich habe die 303 Version. Ich habe aber andere Template. Blue Wonder. Ist vielleicht das sProblem?

[Akakios]

I wish I know what you guys talk about. :D
Sorry but my English is poor.
I have problem with Banner Ads System. I have installed but I can not to see the Banner.
But in Admin I see th Banner.
I have 303 version und Blue Wonder Template.
That is my problem. :disappointed:

[tnguy3n]

This banner hack is for vbulletin version 3.5.x. It wouldn't work in vb 3.0.3.

[Akakios]

Ok! Thank you.
Do you know a good banner programm for 3.0.3?

[guyfox]

im running 3.5.1 and the .org banner shows when a guest shows but thats all I see. Seems like I'm missing a bunch of stuff. Only screen I can find in my boards from the screenshots is the 1st one. I'm noob and probably missing something. Any help is appreicated.

[tnguy3n]

vBulletin Options -> Banner System Settings, check Yes to "Show banners to logged in users".

[kadafi_alive]

Hi,

How would I let display at the top right hand corner?

[JohnnyClark]

I have a problem, when i click the link on my forum home, it doesnt take me to the place. Its an error, 404... IT adds "amp;" to my link

[TheAllusionist]

IT would be nice if there was some documentation or a post explaining what the 'call' is named and where it is placed, so we could relocate it as needed. I am not a coder, but I didn't find the code in navbar or forumhome with a cursorary search. It does work on my current theme, but a theme I have in developement has side nav bar and not the horizontal ones on top, hence I thought it would be in the nav bar template. Anyway, if some one could post what I am looking for I imagine I could relocate it! :cool: Thank you for your time.

[kadafi_alive]

I have managed to add it to the top, however, it stays in the middle instead of right aligning. Anyone know how to do that?

[tnguy3n]

I'll write the docs for this later. For those who want to show the ads somewhere else, alter the codes in Banner System plugin.

works fine after you remove the MyISAM etc ...

A few suggestions that would really help boost this package would be:

- Scheduled Banner Expiration (give a start / end date to which the banner is valid)
- Allow the banners to be uploaded to the board into a folder or the db, instead of linking from an external source
- if there is no link for the banner, remove the <a href> and just show it as a normal image. some people just dont have a website to link to and are just interested in showing their banner.

other than that great job! nice package. helps alot.

Thanks! This is a sweet plugin thanks for sharing it.

[tnguy3n]

thanks, will fix that. I used MyISAM as default engine.

[guyfox]

I actually had to click no then yes again to get it to work lol. Works great though. Does exactly what it needs to, well done.

I had the same problem, removed the MyISAM line, re-upload the .xml file and all ran fine, but now when I try log into my ADMIN CP I get the following error,

^^^ I'm going to install phpmyadmin see if I can add the tables manually, looks like the tables were not added :(

[EchoZA]

If I add the code from the .xml in via phpmyadmin, as follows.

("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " . TABLE_PREFIX . "bannersys_banners (
bannerid int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,

)
");

I get the following error,

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax near '("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " . TABLE_PREFIX . "bannersys_banners (

Please could I have some help, I'm a little new at this :(

because you didn't get the database table right.
try:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS bannersys_banners (
bannerid int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
bannername varchar(200) NOT NULL,
bannerdesc varchar(250) NOT NULL,
bannerurl varchar(250) NOT NULL,

bwidth mediumint(4) NOT NULL,
bheight mediumint(4) NOT NULL,
status tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
PRIMARY KEY (bannerid)
)

and if you have table prefix, add it before the table name.

[EchoZA]

Thanks, where would I add the database name to perform this query in in the above command list?

[EchoZA]

^^^ please ignore above post I have fixed it, is there anything else I will need to add?

[tnguy3n]

admincp or phpmyadmin

[futuregizmo]

Nice hack, running smoothly in my forum. Some questions though:

1 - How to modify the plugin so that the banners will be placed to the right of the forum logo? I tried editing the plugin but the best I did was place the banner in the center right below the forum logo. Dunno how to place it beside (to the right of) the forum logo.

2 - When will the phrases be added? I usually get this error (and some other phrase errors) when adding/editing banners:

Could not find phrase 'updated_banner_successfully'.

3 - Is there a way to put a weight on the banners that appear so that Banner 1 for example appears 80% of the time while Banner 2 appears only 20% of the time?

[EchoZA]

O.K. I got access to my site again, went into AdminCP and uninstalled the plugin and then tried again but same error, is there a version of the product-bannersys.xml file without the MyISAM issue? If not what do I need to edit out of the .xml file or add in?

[tnguy3n]

@ futuregizmo: you can manually add the missing phrase to Error Message phrasegroup.

@ EchoZA: pls use the attached product xml to import it. I stripped out the default MyISAM engine.

[jmaldo]

I am also getting the missing phrase error. WHere do i add this?

Aslo on my portal page i get a tiny little black dot where it looks like its trying to display the banners, how can i get rid of that?

[futuregizmo]

thanks tnguy3n. :) how about my other questions?

I had the same thing and was playing around and got it to work, I think I just turned off the logged in users seeing it and turned it back on and did a hard refresh (CTRL + R) and it showed up. Maybe a fluke and combination of things, but that is my recollection of what fixed it. Good luck!

[Aeolian_X]

So what's the code to move the banner to the top right? I don't like it under the navbar.

[satuk]

thanks a lot

[fonzie11]

im a bit confused
i d/led it

cpnav_bannersystem.xml in includes/xml
then banner.php and product-bannersys.xml in

is this correct? cause idont see anything in the admin control panel bout them and im running vb 3.5.3
help plz?

[fonzie11]

sum 1?

[tnguy3n]

You're supposed to upload the product product-bannersys.xml file in Product Manager. Please refer to vBulletin Manual if you don't know where it is.

[fonzie11]

got it 2 work thanks so muhc :)

[Basscat]

I'll write the docs for this later. For those who want to show the ads somewhere else, alter the codes in Banner System plugin.

Thanks for the Great hack!

Can you be more specific on this or come up with the docs?

Is it possible to use the ads in more than one place on the forums at a time? I would like to have one below the header and one in the footer.

[PennylessZ28]

This hack is garbage with out some better documentation. I installed it but the ads don't show up period. My navbar has been modified. So whats the deal? How do I call the banner?

[xtreme-mobile]

some instructions on what to do would be nice :D

[xtreme-mobile]

what other files are we ment to upload? how do i cahnge the banner :(

[tnguy3n]

This hack is garbage with out some better documentation. I installed it but the ads don't show up period. My navbar has been modified. So whats the deal? How do I call the banner?

This addon is meant for unhacked vBulletin product. If you modified the software and don't have the skill & knowledge to adapt it to your forum, hire some coders or ask someone with PHP knowledge to fix that for you. And if you read the 1st post a bit more careful, you'd notice that I didn't check the "Support" tag due to my time restraint; however, I DID try my best to answer some of the questions and patching the bug.


For those who installed this hack and wanted to display the banners somewhere else, pls read this post (http://www.vbviet.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1379&postcount=2).

Hi,

Just installed this now, but have 2 problems.

As you can see from the attachment, the links are missing (they work, but the text is missing), and the add banner button is missing also.

Am running 3.5.3.

Please help.

Thanks!

Hi

When I try to add banners with a "&", that's not working

Those "&" are usefull for cibleclick and other ads


For this link :
http://***/cibles/banniere/symp.cfm?site_id=***&friend_id=***&banniere_id=***

I have : (not working under Firefox, not tried with IE)
http://***/cibles/banniere/symp.cfm?site_id=***&amp;amp;amp;amp;friend_id=****&amp;am p;amp;amp;&banniere_id=***


Every time I modify the banner link, I have a "amp;" coming behind the "&"

How to fix it?

Thx

[Puntoboy]

is it possible to disable this for certain usergroups?

[tnguy3n]

@ Shogo: the hack doesn't support links with parameters atm, but I'll look into when I got time.
@ Puntoboy: you can use conditional in banner template. i.e. <if condition="($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6) OR ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 7)">SHOW BANNER ADS</if>

great mod

[theodonnells]

This works like a charm, i use commision junction for my banner ads and this hack works with that.I like it when hacks works first time.......Easy to install and use, just what the doctor ordered.

[bashy]

Installed and working great....

Would it be possible for 1 usergroup (my VIP's) to be able to turn off the banners
should they wish?

If not could i change the guest group to my VIP group?
If so how/where please?

[tnguy3n]

edit the bannerads template, put conditional <if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != VIPUSERGORUPID">SHOW BANNER ADS</if>

You have to add banner.php to the navbar replacements section under vBa settings

[Smiry Kin's]

got it working easy but the Banner Stats, doesnt work..

[Michael Boutros]

This is because of my extreme n00b skills with the vB ACP, but where can I go to add/edit/delete the banners and to view the stats?

Its about half way down on the left hand side in ADMINCP called banner system

[bradg]

Will this hack allow me to only show certain ads in certain forums, or does it work globally? If so, this is exactly what I've been looking for!

[Doila]

Awesome. I love it.

[CB88]

I installed this and everything works well except this:

I had a second navbar directly beneath the first. After installing this the second navbar now displays right underneath the banner...is there a way to get it back under the first navbar?

[bradg]

Just a couple of quick questions- will this allow me to specify different banner ads in specific forums? If I have several that need to display in only one forum, will they rotate on refresh? If yes to both, this is exactly what I need!

[Drache]

How about the performance for this hack? Does it use alot database/server resources? Planing to install it on a very busy site.

[one.eg6]

Someone else asked, and I didn't see it ever answered for him...

On my vBadvanced homepage the banner only shows as a very small dot. Any idea of how to fix this? Has anyone else ran into it?

Shogo,
I was able to 'fix' this issue by editing the link in my data tables (bannersys_banners) using phpmyadmin.
It doesn't really fix the issue, but it at least lets me serve up the ads properly.

[SysRq]

Installed this today on 3.5.4, works great. If only there was support for flash ads though. Also, is there a reason this won't work on my cmps homepage? In the source it just shows up as <table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">

<tr>

<td><a href="banner.php?do=redirect&bannerid=" target="_blank""><img src="" width="" height="" border="0"></a></td>

</td>

</table> Instead of a real banner.

[tnguy3n]

You can use conditional in bannerads template to not display the ads in cmps portal.
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'your_cmps_script_name'">other banner codes</if>

[SysRq]

I DO want the ads on my cmps portal, the problem is they aren't working. VB 3.5.4.

[MXjunk127]

Ok, so I edited the global_start hook with the suggested edit and I got a DB error, replaced the code with this to link to the right table, it works, however, I cannot get the $bannerads to show in my templates.... Any ideas?

// Banner Ads System by tnguy3n
if($vbulletin->options['bannersys_mode'])
{
$getads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("vb3_forum"

bannersys_banners WHERE status = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$ads = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getads);

// print banner ads
eval('$bannerads = "' . fetch_template('bannerads') . '";');

$vbulletin->db->free_result($getads);
unset($getads);
}

Also placed this in my forumhome template and it doesnt show...any ideas?

I must be dense, but I cannot find the banner manager. I installed everything, and turned it on. It displays the default banner just fine...but how do I change what banners are in there?

[finn snor]

Great stuff just what i need, however i dont have the ability to change banners, view statistics or anything other than enabling the default banner.

Im using vb 3.5.4

What can i do ?

[tnguy3n]

I've been working on new version for this hack. Next release would include the auto rotating banners

check if you have the includes/xml/cpnav_bannersystem.xml uploaded on your server.

[finn snor]

Thanks now it works.

I was missing the xml file and the two php files in adminpc.

[finn snor]

New error came up. When ever i update, modify or delete it comes up with a
"Could not find Phrase updates succesfully"

And the link is bad

I removed it completely and reinstalled with no luck.

I saw this same question posted above with no answer.

Is there a way to put a flash banner in here?

[osso12]

[solved] I hate to feel stupid..but the plug in is showing up, but where do i find the banner manager to edit the banners?
Never mind...
When i logged out of acp, and logged back in it was there. Thanks..

[MThornback]

Just a note for people having problems with banners justified left when you want another way...if this has already been posted, sorry :p

In the banner system's global start plugin, find the textsearch call (the default is "<!-- / nav buttons bar -->" as mentioned in the hack) find that line in your navbar template and on the line above add an alignment ta, and the close tag on the line below (with a space for the insertion).

Enjoy :)

Called me stupid too, but I can see the plugins, see the bannerads template, but how do I edit the banners?

I really am having a dunce moment.:surprised:

Ignore me, ignore me. Remember to copy the relevant files in the admincp, includes/xml to their respective board folders and remember to copy the banner.php to your forum root.

[osso12]

I was not able to see them in admin ACP untill I logged off, closed the browser, and logged back in. ACP, Banner System, Banner Manager.

[DJCobol]

I uploaded all the files and imported the XML document, now when ever I go to the control panel and try to mess with the options, I get a blank admincp screen. Any suggestions?

Anyway I can change the background of a banner, they don't seem to look very clear.

[Marty McFly]

Someone else asked, and I didn't see it ever answered for him...

On my vBadvanced homepage the banner only shows as a very small dot. Any idea of how to fix this? Has anyone else ran into it?

anyone find a solution to this??? i'm having the same problem.

[osso12]

Yes. The dot will be there unless you turn the system off, or add a banner to the banner manager from what I have found.
Put some banners in the system and the DOT will go away.

[headrat]

Yes. The dot will be there unless you turn the system off, or add a banner to the banner manager from what I have found.
Put some banners in the system and the DOT will go away.I've got banners in the system and it works great on every other page, but on my portal page, I have the blank do too. Any fix to this? Preferably to get the banners to show up there too, not just remove the dot. Tried "turning it off" and then on again, I'm assuming you are talking about the disable function in the AdminCP????? but that did nothing, but remove the dot because it disabled the hack. When I enabled it again, the dot came back, though it works on all other pages.

[xec]

Hi this was the first mod I have ever installed on vB. The installation seemed to work because I see the "++++++.org" banner on my forums. However, I have no idea how to add/change banners. Thank you.

EDIT: Nevermind. I logged in and out and then I saw the Banner System settings.

Thank you for the great mod!

I have learned to live with it... But funny enough, if you hover over the dot, its a link.. and if you click it, it says the banner doesnt exist...

http://forum/banner.php?do=redirect&bannerid= is the link it sends me to

just donated some money for the hack too, hopefully that'll help. :D
Anyway, works perfectly on all other pages for me, just have that 'dot banner' on my portal cmps page. Would really like to fix it up. :D

Thanks much

[wizardan]

Flawless install.
And although I have a heavily modded navbar, it installed stock, no need for the plugin edit.

I have one question:

Is it possible to position the ad rotation elsewhere than below the navbar, without too many complicated edits?

Also, for those of you more knowlegeable than I, is there a marked difference between what I get with this hack, as opposed to using another hack that would integrate php adsnew?

Thank you.

It'd be nice if we can set the date for the banners to expire and put another input field for advertisers email address. Another good function is for the ability to email those advertisers.

Its halfway down the left list in the acp called "Banner Manager".

[ckhorne]

For those using cmps, you need to edit either the Page or the Default Settings for CMPS. In the "Portal Output Global Variables" section, add:

ads

This will load the necessary variables for the banner system.

[mkdevo]

just installed this, and i'm looking forward to getting it going.. but i have a question..

i did the :::::UPDATE::::: from the original post, so i can place the $bannerads in places other than the navbar - or so i thought.. when i put $bannerads at the bottom of the navbar, the banner shows up, however, i'm trying to use this in combination with this mod (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157022), to get the banners to show up after the first post in a thread, but it's not working. i'm replacing the BANNER CODE HERE with $bannerads, but nothing shows up.

any ideas?

[Blue-Inc]

This works perfect in vBulletin v3.6.0 beta 1. Clicked install.

One thing though if you could help. I don't really want the banner ads to be placed under the Navbar. Is there any way I can put the banner ads in the $footer?

I would need some more features:
- Ability to exclude forums from displaying ads
- Ability to exclude usergroups from displaying ads
- Ability to choose positions (alongside with logo, under navbar, right, left of the forums (skyscrapers), ability to use foreign code (affiliate services))
In this state as it is, the mod is nice but it lacks these features, which would really make it useable, especially on big forums.

[2fast4ya]

+1 for bernd glasstett. +1999999 for getting my black dot fixed

[2fast4ya]

so can someone tell me how to fix teh dot?

Use conditional in bannerads template to exclude ads from showing on portal cmps.

If you are running vba CMPS, put the path to banner.php into the footer replacements. You also have to have a valid banner, as the test one doesn't really work too well. So try using one of your own.

[2fast4ya]

what's the code for the path? and if its in the footer wouldn't that make it at the bottom of the page? Sorry for the Noob questions, this cmps thing is new to me

[overload7]

It all depends on where you have banner.php and your directory structure. I had to just put "banner.php" into my footer replacements. You may have to put in "/'forumroot'/banner.php"

If you have the banner showing in the footer, then put it in the footer replacements, if in the header, then put it in the header replacements. All this can be done in the AdminCP > vBa CMPS options.

[Shazz]

How do you make this thing rotate =\

[2fast4ya]

add several different banners and each time you refresh the pages a different banner will show up

ckhorne, thanks for that - worked perfectly :)

and thanks for the wonderful Hack tnguy3n :cool:

[FSX]

Thanks - works great.

One thing I would like to see in a future update maybe, is the banner stats. I would like to see how many page impressions the banner got as well as a export link so I can export the banner stats and email it to my advertising client to show him exactly how many page impressions/clicks his banner got for the month etc.

Otherwise really good job!

[BTTF.com]

The $20.00 version has stats. It also supposedly supports Flash, but I've found that the code doesn't support Flash on IE -- just Netscape.

[rluna559]

Heres how to show banners within the header of your forums and how to get it to work to show correctly on your CMPS page.

First replace all the content of the Banner System plugin (at global_start hook) with this code below:


// Banner Ads System by tnguy3n
if($vbulletin->options['bannersys_mode'])
{

$getads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "bannersys_banners WHERE status = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$ads = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getads);

$searchtext = '<!-- / banner ads -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['header'] = str_replace($searchtext,
$searchtext.fetch_template('bannerads'), $vbulletin->templatecache['header']);

$vbulletin->db->free_result($getads);
unset($getads);
}


Then edit your header template and place the following code where you would like your banners to appear.


<!-- / banner ads -->


Lastly add banner.php to your Header Replacement settings in your CMPS settings.

Note if you want to place the banners within your footer, replace templatecache value from header to footer, add the code where you want to show your banners, then add banner.php to your Footer Replacement settings.

Thats it! Enjoy.

Also I'm having a problem of my own. The settings to edit banners does not show in the control panel. I only see the settings that you would see under banneradmin.php?do=settings .

If I want to edit my banners I have to manually enter the url to banneradmin.php?do=manage

Seems like the cpnav_bannersystem.xml file isn't working correctly for me. Anyone know how to fix this? I can't get around the problem with entering the urls myself but I rather be able to do it in the admin control panel.

{
$getads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "

I figured out what my problem was. I have bad eyes, I found where the banners can be edited.

On another note, I noticed that custom user groups the banner appears as a dot (at least for my site). The problem was fixed when I changed the banner links to open in a new window. If anyone is having problems viewing the banners, try changing the links to open in a new window.

Oh and you can see how mine is running at CaliberSRT4.net Forums (http://www.calibersrt4.net)

I had the same problm when trying to use the same method to display the banners on the right side of my header. Check out my method of showing the banners on page 15.

Im not having a problem displaying the banners that works fine, just when you click on a link it takes you to a 404 not found page

Anyone have any ideas???

Go to your Banner Ad Template and Replace the highlighted color below with the full URL to banner.php

Example <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/banner.php?

<if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_mode']">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == '0'">
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><a href="banner.php?$session[sessionurl]do=redirect&bannerid=$ads[bannerid]" <if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_popup']">target='_blank'</if>><img src="$ads[imgurl]" width="$ads[bwidth]" height="$ads[bheight]" border="0"></a></td>
</td>
</table>
<br />
<else />
<if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_ads2all'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid']">
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><a href="banner.php?$session[sessionurl]do=redirect&bannerid=$ads[bannerid]" <if condition="$vboptions[bannersys_popup]">target="_blank"</if>"><img src="$ads[imgurl]" width="$ads[bwidth]" height="$ads[bheight]" border="0"></a></td>
</td>
</table>
</if>
</if>
</if>

Nope that didnt work either, the link was trying to go to www.sitename.comdo=redirect&bannerid=$ads3

Thanks for any help!!!

Burntire,
when i put in the full path it made all the banners go to the same url, any thoughts?

Below is the code I use in the bannerads template.
Just so we are clear this fixes the problem of the banner ads not redirecting when clicked on if you are using CMPS to create your sites home page.

<if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_mode']">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == '0'">
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/forums/banner.php?$session[sessionurl]do=redirect&bannerid=$ads[bannerid]" <if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_popup']">target='_blank'</if>><img src="$ads[imgurl]" width="$ads[bwidth]" height="$ads[bheight]" border="0"></a></td>
</td>
</table>
<br />
<else />
<if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_ads2all'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid']">
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/forums/banner.php?$session[sessionurl]do=redirect&bannerid=$ads[bannerid]" <if condition="$vboptions[bannersys_popup]">target="_blank"</if>"><img src="$ads[imgurl]" width="$ads[bwidth]" height="$ads[bheight]" border="0"></a></td>
</td>
</table>

Ok, im not having a problem with cmps anymore as soon as i added "ads" as a hook good to go.

What the problem is the links are not redirecting to the url, it works in the cp but not on the site.

[PondPikey]

Hope someone can gelp. Im using a Kartel fixed theme and am unable to get the banners to display, Im pretty sure ive set it up correctly.

Ive amended the global start hook in banner plugin manager. Im using the following to try and display the banners but with the no luck in FORUMHOME

<td align="right" valign="middle" width=100%>
$bannerads</a><br>

Hi

Can this be placed elsewhere, please see the 3 boxes below the nacbar on my site, i would like this to show in the Partners box (3rd 1)

Is this possible please?

[ZacUSNYR]

Cool idea - perhaps you can add onto it more?

$banneradnav , $banneradfooter, $banneradheader

And selectable when you add a banner in the admincp?

[dr.science]

I have been searching everywhere. Can someone please help me to add a flash banner to my site? I have this mod, fully functional on CMPS and all, bt now I just need to enable flash banners to be used.

Thanks!

[burntire]

This hack is working fine on 3.6.0.
