If I wanted to create another location for a rotating banner.. can i simply rename the product and template?

I also tested it out with 1 banner and it seems like it disappears now and then. Is there a limit min and max banners it can hold?

I would like to place the $bannerads underneath the nav bar but right above where the main forum begins. Also would like to center it.
Any help is appreciated.

What's the chance of including an array to allow for multiple ad's being display in random? Prior to changes in vB3.0.x and 3.x.x, I used the following method: (called via an external .php file)

<?php
$banners = array('<a href="http://www.adone.com/" target="_blank"><img src="/banners/adone.gif"','
<a href="http://www.adtwo.com/" target="_blank"><img src="/banners/adtwo.gif"','
<a href="http://www.adthree.com" target="_blank"><img src="/banners/adthree.gif"','
<a href="http://www.adfour.com/" target="_blank"><img src="/banners/adfour.gif"');

shuffle($banners);
?>

<?php
for ( $i = 0; $i < 13; $i++ ) {
echo "<center>";
echo $banners[$i];
echo " border=\"0\" width=\"140\" height=\"100\"></a></center><br>";
}
?>

Please let me know your thoughts on such an addition.

Thanks!

Frapegliko:
What's the chance of you adding multiple image output? It works great for randomizing a single image from a listing of links; randomizing and outputting several images at the same time so each banner is displayed in a different sequence (as mentioned a few posts above) would be very helpful.

Thanks!

if you want to add your ad codes in a file just deinstall vbbannerrotator product and upload this Plugin
In your forum rootfolder upload bannerbns.txt with your code
Not quite sure my friend how iframes would cause it to refresh on its own...you will have to forgive the ignornance :)

Probably works for 3.5.xNo, it doesn't. Theres a DB entry that does not exist on 3.5, however he helped me out and removed it from the release and it works flawlessly. Im sure he will release it soon, as he has more enhancements planed, but lack of free time.

Install product bannerrotator two.xml
Add $bannerads in header
Add $banneradstwo in footer
Then insert your Codes in vBulletin Setting > vbBannerRotaror

Thats all

Is it possible to change this to make the "process" page random? Would be great, I want to use it for "comercial" use but I don't want alot of comercial on every single page, interfering with my forumstyle.

Sorry, didn't read the thread posts. Question answered ^^ *installs as soon as possible*

Luggruff

10-23-2006, 09:32 PM

Ok, changed my mind about this.. I installed the hack, enabled the first one and two banners. Added the text "..Test.." in one field and "--Test--" in field number two.

I also wrote $bannerad in the header template (other templates too).. nothing shows up.
The hack has no hooks that aren't allowed to crash with others alike (global_start and cache_templates ..as I've understood it at least, it wont matter if those hooks are located in more than one product..)

How do i make it show up? (running vb 3.6.2)

Hi there, I have just installed this, must say it is a really nice hack and something I have been looking for however I have encoutered a few problems

This is the code I am using

<a href=\"URL/" target=\"_blank\" class=\"banner\"><img src=URL OF BANNERwidth=468 height=60 border=2></a>
Now I have added this in only the problem is, is that the banner then goes below the forum banner and the link doesn't link to the site that the banner is for instead it goes to www.mysite.com/%22www.urlforbanner.com/%22 (http://www.mysite.com/%22www.urlforbanner.com/%22)

Where am I going wrong? Is the code wrong and that is why the link isn't working correctly? And have I put the $bannerads in the wrong place on the header and that is why it is going under the forum banner rather than opposite the forum banner

Thanks in advance

Your code:
<a href=\"URL/" target=\"_blank\" class=\"banner\"><img src=URL OF BANNERwidth=468 height=60 border=2></a>

Correct code:
<a href="URL" target="_blank" class="banner"><img src="URL OF BANNER" width=468 height=60 border=2></a>

Get it?

And to get the banner above the logo of your forum, simply put the $bannerads above  in the header template.

10-26-2006, 10:50 PM

Hi there, I have put the correct code in and all is working fine :) thanks for that

No what I want to do is have the banners on the opposite side of the forum banner.

The forum banner is on the left hand side, I want the banners to go on the right hand side of the header so that it is opposite the banner

Thanks

In the header template find this:


<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
 
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>

Each column are specified with the <td></td> tags, each new row are between the <tr></tr> tags, so to add another column just add another column tag (<td>$bannerads</td>) after the last <td></td> tag (in between the </td> and </tr> tag).

wich of course would turn out like this:


<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
 
</td>
[B] <td>
$bannerads
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>

Basic table building..

go to http://www.yousite.com/admincp -> log in -> Plugins and products -> Products -> add new plugin (on the bottom of the page) -> browse -> submit.

THEN you go to the template manager in adminCP unde styles and templates and in the template drop-down you select "edit templates", then you doubbleclick the template you want to add the banners to and you write $bannerads or $banneradstwo at the location in the code that you want the banners to show up.

If you go to www.lgpphotographers.com/forum
I want the banner to rotate right above the convention banner.

Any ideas?

THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Luggruff

11-02-2006, 04:34 AM

AdminCP -> Styles and templates -> Template Manager (or whatever, top link in that menu) -> << >> OR the top choice in the drop-down, does not matter, it's the HEADER template you want and that just happens to be in both places.

Take this:


<a name="top"></a>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="27"><img src="images/LGP/q1.jpg" border="0" width="27" height="182" alt="" /></td>
<td width="100%" background="images/LGP/q3.jpg">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="images/LGP/header3.jpg" border="0" width="234" height="182" alt="ProPs - ProPhotogs.com" /></td>
<td align="center"><ad what="zone:1" /><p><a href="http://www.lgpphotographers.com/convention/convention.htm"><img src="./images/convention.jpg" align="center" border="0"></a></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

<td width="28"><img src="images/LGP/q2.jpg" border="0" width="28" height="182" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="27" background="images/LGP/q4.jpg"></td>
<td width="100%">

And change to something like this:


<a name="top"></a>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="27"><img src="images/LGP/q1.jpg" border="0" width="27" height="182" alt="" /></td>
<td width="100%" background="images/LGP/q3.jpg">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="images/LGP/header3.jpg" border="0" width="234" height="182" alt="ProPs - ProPhotogs.com" /></td>
<td align="center">$GLOBALS[bannerads]<br><ad what="zone:1" /><p><a href="http://www.lgpphotographers.com/convention/convention.htm"><img src="./images/convention.jpg" align="center" border="0"></a></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

<td width="28"><img src="images/LGP/q2.jpg" border="0" width="28" height="182" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="27" background="images/LGP/q4.jpg"></td>
<td width="100%">

So if I want this rotating system to go in another place, I just add the Global, correct?

Luggruff

11-02-2006, 01:12 PM

Now you could add a vanlign="middle" to the td tag where the banner is located and then wrap the bannerrotatortag with a [noparse]<p></p>[/norparse] tag and you will get some space between the two comercial banners, and they will align more symtetrical to your logo on the left. (at least I think the valign tag works xD)

You add the same code, only that you can write $GLOBALStwo] for another 5 banners somewhere else ;)

by writing $GLOBALS[bannerads or banneradstwo] you won't have to worry about the banners showing up, as you will have to if you only write $bannerads or $banneradstwo ;)

sunnycher

11-02-2006, 01:32 PM

Where exactly would I put this?
and I noticed in FF, it's right on top of the convention baner but in IEit's not, they are seperated.

This code here would seperate it in FF? and not be on top of each other right? Will it affect IE?

and I noticed in FF, it's right on top of the convention baner but in IEit's not, they are seperated.

This code here would seperate it in FF? and not be on top of each other right? Will it affect IE?

First, change this:

<td align="center">

<BR>
<a href="http://www.acilab.com" target="_blank" class="banner"><img src="images/LGP/aci.gif" border=0></a>
<BR>

<a href="http://www.lgpphotographers.com/convention/convention.htm"><img src="./images/convention.jpg" align="center" border="0"></a></p></td>
</tr>
</table>

Into this:

<td align="center" valign="middle">

<p>
<a href="http://www.acilab.com" target="_blank" class="banner"><img src="images/LGP/aci.gif" border=0></a>
</p>

<a href="http://www.lgpphotographers.com/convention/convention.htm"><img src="./images/convention.jpg" align="center" border="0"></a></p></td>
</tr>
</table>

Secondly:
The $GLOBALS[banneradstwo], are to be put where ever you want it on your forum, just find the template you want it in (etc. footer) and put it there. Fine adjustments such as placements and such, are all up to you.

sunnycher

11-02-2006, 02:16 PM

Ok, read my post again. I made two changes.. I forgot to bold out this part:

Hi, please add $GLOBALS[bannerads] to the Installinstructions.

With that it is working everywhere and still at navbar, footer etc. ! ;)

(Postbit, vBadvanced, Arcade etc.)
Danke ;)

I have installed this hack and think its great. I have got it working fine for ad providers code and also for .jpgs. However, how do I add a .swf to the rotation?

Thanks.

Probably.. like you add a .swf to a webpage? -_-
www.google.com <- try.. say, ".swf embed html" or something?

Yes, you need to edit templates. Please read the instructions.
You have to put the code $GLOBALS[bannerads] (for bannerscript#1 with 10 banners) or $GLOBALS[banneradstwo] (for bannerscript#2 with 5 banners) at the location of your forum that you want them to be.

How else would they show up where you want them to be?

I'm using both YPN and Adsense. To ensure that only one type displays on each page, I have a rotator in my header. I then use a conditional in the body that basically says <if condition="$banner_no==3">YPN<else />Adsense</if>

This works perfectly on my homepage, but on showthread the $banner_no variable does not carry and has no value. Why is this?

Perfect! This was one of my concerns, and I believe you just fixed it. This works with $GLOBALS[bannerads] (i.e. in non-vB pages like vBA), or do I have to reference banner_no through $GLOBAL[] too?

Luggruff

11-10-2006, 01:00 PM

thanks for your reply.

It means that you go to your adminCP -> styles and templates -> style manager -> pick the style you want to include the banners in (since you're new, I can only gues you only have one styles to choose from) -> in the dropdown, selcect "edit templates" and then find the template you want the banners to be in.

(an example, if you want the banners to be in the HEADER, then you edit the god for the HEADER template and write $GLOBALS[bannerads] or $GLOBALS[banneradstwo] where ever in that template you want it to show up in)

..this of course means you have to be familiar with HTML, if not, ask someone you know.

confused about the difference between $GLOBALS[bannerads] and $GLOBALS[banneradstwo]? Read the instructions the creator of the hack has made. Pretty simple. Top post on all pages of this thread.

And to add banners, just go to the vBulletin settings at the top of the menu in your adminCP.

So, I can assume it just rotates between the banners? So if I have ten different banners active it will just cycle through each one? This is great for profite sharing on a site. Allows moderators to have their code in there and get paid. Brilliant idea!

Mike

Yes, it circles through 10 different banners. I don't know, but you might be able to put the conditional for the banneradstwo (five other banners).. as a banner itself? ^^

Then you'll get 15 banners, in the same place, only 5 that will be random each 10th time, wich will make them less unlikely to show up (could use for sponsors that doesn't pay as much as others?)

The moderators can only use this if you are nice and give them advertising space, of course you'll have to put their banners in there for them but sure.. why not.

Sounds like a great product and I want to install this but I have a stupid question. I read every post and may of missed it.

If I want 10 banners install the first one?
If I want 5 banners install the second one?
Or both?
Sorry in advance!

yes, for 10 banners, install the first one. For 5 more, install the second one also. ;)
so.. both, to get a total of 15.

What I'm going to do is use this to have 9 premium banners, and in the 10th I'm putting the $GLOBALS[banneradstwo] (if it works with php? can anyone verify this?) for 5 not so important banners ;P

Here's a simple detailed step-by-step:

Download the xml files
Go to your AdminCP
Go to the Plugins and products menu
Go to Manage Products
[Add/Import Product]
Browse to the xml and then upload (and the banneradsTWO too, only with this one, ALLOW OVERWRITE)
Now go to your adminCP -> styles and templates -> style manager -> pick the style you want to include the banners in -> in the dropdown, selcect "edit templates" and then find the template you want the banners to be in. (for example "header").
Put the code $GLOBALS[bannerads] and or $GLOBALS[banneradstwo] where you want it.
Now go to vBulletin Options in the AdminCP and make sure the hack is enabled (scroll down to the bottom and you'll find it). Then you just add the code for each banner, and make sure they are enabled too.
Example for banner code:

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif"></a>

The site is www.turbo-owners.com and I would like it to appear on the right side across from the 'Turbo Owners" logo... I have 2 styles (light and dark) and have attached the header contents of each

style1 = light
style2 = dark

If anyone could help me out that would be appreciated.

Also, is there the possibility of having slots for more than 10 banner ads?

I want to add:

This Plugin ROCKS!!!!

We have been looking for a way to rotate multiple banners for a long time since we had over 50 and it was dragging down the main page.

This was the answer!

You can add your HTML coding to show 2 rows of 3 or whatever you want into each box in the Admin CP and away you go.

We now have 6 banners showing at a time and it cut load times by approx. 30%!

Installation was simple and took less than a minute.

GREAT WORK and thank you!

Kopfgeldjaeger

02-09-2007, 01:22 AM

Can someone tell me if I can add more than 15 banners? Would love to know :)

The only way I could figure out was to add more than one banner in each box.

Unless your page is hurting for space, I cleared enough room to place the banners under the forums but above the "Who's Online" area and made 2 rows of 6.

You could put 1 row of 2 or 3 depending on their size and set it to align centered.

This will not take up much space and therefore allows you to add 20-30 banners by showing 2-3 at once.

As I stated, we are showing 56 total banners (6 at a time).

See our board at: WarRifles Forums (http://www.warrifles.com)

Located right above "Who's Online" area.

Hope this helps!

POSSIBLE ERROR:

It appears that if I set "Activate Banner Code 1" to "No", the code treats it as "active, but empty" when it should treat it as not there at all.

For example, if I have ad code in both Banner Code 1 and Banner Code 2 positions, but "1" is set to "NO", the result is an empty ad display 50% of the time (and 50% is Banner 2 being displayed).

If I switch the activations (Banner Code 1 is ON and Banner Code 2 is OFF) the display shows Banner 1 all (100%) of the time.

Only the first position seems to behave this way. I did not see a problem with the other positions I tested.

Attempting to get banners to show in the header on the right side and not having much luck.

Here is my header code....


<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
 
</td>
<td>
$GLOBAL[bannerads]
</td>

</tr>
</table>


Here is what I have in Banner Code 1 under vBannerRotator under vBulletin Options

<a href="http://[URL]" target="_blank" class="banner"><img src="[IMAGE]" width=468 height=60 border=2></a>

Something is wrong but I don't see what
Please help...

You know this seems to be a common request which is not being answered so how about you all try using Openads (formerly phpAdsnew) and you can have as many ads as you could ever want rotating in your header and footer and side columns for that matter.

Thank you Fabian, but it is still a no go. I can get teh banner itself to appear by insertingthe banner code directly into the header, so I know that there is not a problem with the skin or the space for the banners. I just cannot get the vbBannerRotator to work.

The vbRotator does not come up under 'vBulletin Options'. Is this because I am on version 3.5.3? Does it work for that version?

Thanks in advance.

Installed, works great. Thank you.

If you come up with a rotater every so many seconds, that would be great. This way it doesn't just rotate on refreshes.

For those wanting to reference this variable in the postbit template you need to use...

$GLOBALS[bannerads]

Rather than

$bannerads

This has been driving me mad. Its to do with the scope of these variables in the postbit template....

Just getting ready to give this a try ... but I'm confused as to what 'postbit' is. Would someone please explain and also tell me where the add would be placed if I did the above postbit addition ($GLOBALS[bannerads]) :confused:

ORP

09-11-2007, 06:13 PM

Never mind.

Postbit - The postbit template is used to display posts, announcements and private messages.

What template would I edit to accomplish that?

Ok. This program works perfectly for what I want but for some reason in firefox when a graphic comes up it will take part of a google ad and push it to the right column on my page. I have refreshed over 50 times in internet explorer and it is fine. This only happens when a graphic banner shows up in firefox.

Check images below. Any suggestions?

hmm i installed this, and it just seemed too easy.

My banners wont show up! I have three, and i put them in the first three boxes, checked off that i want them enabled, and refreshed my homepage. where are they?

Is there something im supposed to do? Like ad a code to a template or anything??

Ive been looking for something like this, but nothing has worked, so hopefully this will. I just have three different banners that all link to the same place, but they are different banners. They are in GIF file, and i want them to appear!

thanks

Would anyone be willing to give me some "detailed" instructions on how to install this mod please, new to this sort of thing.

I have the Xml file, but how do I install it? Also where exactly in the footer would I install the code at?

Installation:
1. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
Click [Add/Import Product] at the bottom of the page.
2. Browse to the location where you downloaded the xml file and then upload the XML file from your computer/server and click the "Import" button at the bottom of the top box.
3. Go to: AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Template Manager
Open your Header, Footer or any template you want and put "$GLOBALS" or "$GLOBALS[banneradstwo]" to desired line.

[b]Footer code placement:
You may insert the code to your Footer template and place it above or below the copyright stuff. It depends on how your footer is set up. But in most cases, you would find the code for the vBulletin copyright...

<div class="smallfont" align="center">

$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]

</div>

... and place it either above or below that.

To set options:
1. Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vbBannerRotator by Frapegliko
2. Insert your banner codes
3. And then click "Save" at the bottom of the page.

Hi

I am a newbie!

When it says insert banner code, what does it mean? I have a banner, its a JPEG file and another is a SWF file.

Do I FTP these to the site and then some how reference them through this module?

Any help is appreciated

quick problem (I hope)

Header, removed ad code which worked and added $globals.

installed product. In ad spot came the word array in small font (found this odd but who knows)

I then put my add in the same ad in the first banner box, tried both yes and no. and only have the word array

I find this sort of amusing but can't figure out the issue.

anyone? TIA

Anyone else have an issue where sometimes the banners just don't load (white space). I wouldn't care if I used this just for the ad banner top right of the screen, but I started using it for cycling through site logos too.

Right now it's just two logos to cycle through, but sometimes just.. nothing loads. I checked to make sure any empty boxes weren't enabled. Weird!

the site is www.themazdaforum.com if anyone wants to check it out.

edit: Apparently you can't disable the first banner in a set.. works fine now.

leginag

05-05-2008, 11:47 PM

This works fine in vb 3.7 gold, and to be honest, is the easiest banner rotator to use that I've found, as I don't need advanced options.

To add pictures, you have to add $bannerads to your templates where you want it to show up. Then you go Admin CP - > vBulletin options -> vbBannerRotator and add the banners there.

Tom_S

05-06-2008, 12:05 AM

Did anyone ever attempt a product-bannerrotator-THREE.xml and product-bannerrotator-FOUR.xml or so on? I know it was mentioned way back in this thread.

Ditto on it working with Gold and being the easiest to work with ever.

I expanded the bannerrotator to have 15 on the top and 10 for the bottom. Took a couple of tries to get it right, but I'm good now. I am willing to bet with some work, you could do much with it.

How were you able to get 15 banners to rotate rather then 10? Or are you talking about getting $GLOBALS & $GLOBALS[banneradstwo] to work?

ANYWAY, this has been asked many times, seems no one has the answer, but I'm willing to bet Frapegliko knows :) :) :)

I too use to use this Add-on. It works great, but is limited to 10 slots.

There is an alternate way to accomplish the same thing with virtually unlimited ad banner slots. I am using a javascript banner rotator script that I got from this (http://www.htmlbasix.com/banner.shtml) site. You make a couple of simple modifications to the code provided from the generator and you can run 15 or 20 banners if you wish. It will also auto rotate the banners and set the interval if you like. You simply take the script (after you've provisioned it with your links) and insert it at the bottom of the navbar template or wherever you wish them to display on your forum.

08-22-2008, 08:10 PM

I've added a new banner and cannot get it to display like the others. I've used the same exact code but this one will only show a small little box, and if I click the little box it does go to the right link.
I've copied the path and posted it in the url and the gil file shows up just fine. Any ideas why it won't work in the banner roation? I'm lost. :confused:

Has anyone edited this actual product for additional banners within the admincp? I know that I can get the javascript code and edit the templates myself. But, it's so much more convenient to do it within the admincp. Anyone have any tips or raising the 10 to 20 at least?

To increase the numbers would it just be a case of editing the XML and increasing the code in there?

Same here. I need more than 10. Info please!

You are looking for 20 from a single banner placement?

I have reworked this mod to do 4 banners 10, 5, 5, 5 and was thinking of 10, 10, 10,10.

My current client needed more than 2 and only 2 swaps but a single placement with 20 is definitely doable.

This MOD is pretty good but it looks like the original author has abandoned it.

Send me a PM be glad to help out.

im really sorry about this but... im a total n00b with this, i suk at codes and such, it really makes my head dizzy, and i can't figure out how to use this plugin...

as far as i can understand i have to put $GLOBALS[bannerads] in the code of the header... right?... that would be editing the skin... ok... but where do i put that? in what part of the code. and also i have to put it just like that? or the "bannerads" part is supposed to have the adress or something of where my banners are stored?, i really can't understand that... please someone can give detailed explanation? because im trying pretty hard but i really dont know how to do it. If you give me some examples of how it looks finished maybe i could figure it out without much problem. Thanks in advance

edit: i will add my forum url and the code if that makes things easier

www.endingsekai.com (the banner i want to change is the upper left one)


<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_back.gif)">

vbplusme

12-20-2008, 01:15 AM

Go to the ad_header_end template and add "$bannerads" and save it. Add your banners to the hack and you should be good to go... You can use that same "$bannerads" to place the banners manually as well, for example


$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$bannersads

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

thank you very much for the help, but it seems than im still doing something wrong... only thing than happened is than the url of the image appears below my header =/. This is my code after adding $bannerads (also tryed $GLOBALS[bannerads] but didnt worked)


<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_back.gif)">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_left.gif" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">
<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else /> </if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>



$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$bannerads

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

also im not entirely sure how to put the headers on the hack... do i have to go to vbulletin options/vbbannerrotator and there on the first box put the URL of the banner i want? or its a different thing?

edit: oh, here's a screenshot of my options

Make sure the path is correct to the banner image. You can change the URL for where you want the visitor to go by changing the href piece to point to the location of your choice.

BTW, $bannerads is the correct call. I checked the code and it works here so it should work for you.
