Rotating Banners in FORUMDISPLAY

[HMBeaty]

Ok, first off, of course, go to your admincp panel > styles and templates > style manager > open your style > edit the FORUMDISPLAY template.


In there, you will find:

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch" nowrap="nowrap"><if condition="$show['quicksearch']"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumsearch" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch"); </script><else /><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a></if></td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>

Directly AFTER that bit of code, add this:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<td class="alt2" align="center">
<!-- Banner Rotator by Redline -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!--
function banner() {
};
banner = new banner();
number = 0;
// bannerArray
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);

document.write(banner[increment]);
//--></SCRIPT>
</td></table>


PLEASE CLICK INSTALL IF YOU LIKE IT.

Havnt you released this before mate? 1st post WOOT

[HMBeaty]

No. I've released SOMETHING like this but never this or anything in this template.

[Jealousy10312]

Thank you.

[bluegum]

did not work for me at all
?

[HMBeaty]

Do you have javascript disabled? Also, can you paste your code up so I can have a look?

[bluegum]

HTML Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch" nowrap="nowrap"><if condition="$show['quicksearch']"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumsearch" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch"); </script><else /><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a></if></td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>

Directly AFTER that bit of code, add this:


HTML Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<td class="alt2" align="center">
<!-- Banner Rotator by Redline -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!--

number = 0;
// bannerArray

I dont think i have java disabled?
i am using a theme called aquateen
my site is here
http://www.basslurereviews.com/bassforums/index.php
it shows up no where?
how would , do i enable java?
I only added 1 banner to test.. as above

[HMBeaty]

Try either filling in those empty banner links, or just remove the last 3 of these:

banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"

[bluegum]

Ok i am at a total loss

I aded it to the default and to aquateen both
FORUMDISPLAY template
did a find for
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch" nowrap="nowrap"><if condition="$show['quicksearch']"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumsearch" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch"); </script><else /><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a></if></td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>

and it found it fine
then after I added the following
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<td class="alt2" align="center">
<!-- Banner Rotator by Redline -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!--
function banner() {
};
banner = new banner();
number = 0;
// bannerArray
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://jdcbaits.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.basslurereviews.com/images/banners/jdcbaits.gif' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://bearpawshandpouredbaits.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.basslurereviews.com/images/banners/bearbanner.gif' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.kicknbass.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.basslurereviews.com/images/banners/kicknbass.gif' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://sinkobaits.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.basslurereviews.com/images/banners/sinkobaits.jpg' border='1'></a>"

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);

document.write(banner[increment]);
//--></SCRIPT>
</td></table>

is there something i am missing?
something else i need to edit?

[bluegum]

holy crap it shows up on opening each forum
not at the main page

NOW I SEE IT and yes u can yell at me

i thought it would show up on the page without opening up a forum
You have to click on a forum to see the banners
i am so sorry
this script works
just a bit different then i thought..

I wanted this static on the front page not when opening up a forum :(

[bluegum]

I just added it to the navbar section all is well

[R M 4 E V E R]

so easy man

put that mentioned code in header template if you want rotating banners in your frontpage ;)

[bluegum]

I'm just used to smf forums
new to vb
hence why the dumb posts..
sorry

[krazycivik]

the banners rotate without refreshing page?

[tekstylez]

can you post an "if condition" to only show to certain usergoups?

[Thug]

messed up for me aswel.. :(

[webpig]

I used this Banner Rotator by Redline easily on the top of the page but i'm using it on the side as well for some square banners .

Is there something i can change in the code to have for example five 100 x 100 square ad's down the left side instead of adding them in a rotation that will only be one ad placement?

The site I am referring to is Club Cam Girl.com (http://clubcamgirl.com) and you can see the small ad on the left.

Thank you very much

[BigJimTheLug]

I have this modification and it has worked out well, but how can I only show this to logged in users.

Can someone please do the script for this, thanks!

This is a great mod by the way. I love it!

It's what my forum has needed!

Please re-specify. Do you want this to be ONLY shown to logged in users? Or admins, mods, etc? Please put down your usergroup numbers you wish this mod to be shown to and I will code the correct conditional for you. Thank you.

[Frimon86]

I like this but its not working with my xml file, since I have a side bar on the left side, and I have on the sidebar where I can enter text,I tried various times to enter in this script into that section and it kept coming out messed up.

I wanted to see if you can help me out, msn: Frimon86 -@- Hotmail.com

[jahshaka]

how can i put the banner in a vertical column to the right of the threads? i love this mod but want to use skyscraper adds... is this possible
?

[joryshu]

thank you thank you thank you.

I have been looking for this script for the last 3 weeks and omg.. thank you.. it works beautifully!

[rdrunnr]

This is a great mod. Is there a way to size the images in the coding so they are all the same size?

[HMBeaty]

Try this. (I have not tested this yet so I'm not sure if this will work or not)

banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' width="x" height="x" border='1'></a>"

Change "x" to the number of pixels you want the height/width to be

[joryshu]

Hi there RedlineMotorsports,

I use your rotating banner script at the top of my forum, and was wondering if you might be able to help me with another banner script.

What I need is a script for chicklet banners to be constantly moving on a page - not like the rotating banner script where you have to refresh the page each time to see a new banner. I could put the chicklet banners to be moving across the page from right to left one after the other under the 468x60 rotating banner script that you gave us before, or I could put it on a sidebar on the forum so the chicklet banners are just scrolling down.

Do you possibly have a script for this? :D

I might possibly whip something up for this when I get back from NJ

[joryshu]

Wonderful. I would totally appreciate it and if I can contribute to your work, please let me know, because as far as I'm concerned, you definitely know what you're doing here... I just follow your instructions :D If you need an example of what I am talking about, please let me know and I will send you a URL of an example. I cannot post it here as it is an adult site. Thank you again!

[joryshu]

Just checking in and letting you know I haven't found that script yet, so if you can 'whip something up' that would still be great. Thank you.

[John1uk]

thanx mate :D great mod, been looking for sometime now for this ;)

*Insatlled*

[HMBeaty]

Just checking in and letting you know I haven't found that script yet, so if you can 'whip something up' that would still be great. Thank you.
Yeah, no problem. I'll see what I can do later tonight or tomorrow night. So in approx...........4+ hours

[phill2003]

Sorry too many windows open wrong thread :).

[paypal]

awesome, awesome, awesome

[BarryoBrien]

can this be done to rotate google ads?

[HMBeaty]

No, sorry. I was trying to achieve the same thing but its not possible through this mod. However, if you are talking about ONLY google ads, then yes.

All the code you would use for that would be:<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<td class="alt2" align="center">
<!-- Banner Rotator by Redline -->

-- GOOGLE ADSENSE HERE --

Hi,
Can this be installed in a header? If so what do I need to change?

Thanks

[HMBeaty]

For header installation, you can see this mod that I've already released here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98913

[xevier69]

Hi,
Sorry to be a pain but shouldn't the banners change after some lapsed time or do they change only every time the page is reloaded?
Thanks

[HMBeaty]

The banners rotate every time the page is loaded.

[Julio]

Hmmm strange.. this worked for about 2 weeks... then all sudden the JPGs are not showing. :(
I mean.. you can see the table box... but no banner is displayed.

I have NOT changed or modified ANYTHING at all. :'(

BTW: To make it easier for me, I just added the corresponding lines to FOOTER. Yes, I know... it will show on EVERY single page. ;)

[Roughnek29]

All I see is a little red X

[asforum]

Nice i love this mod.

[Julio]

If you see a red X it means your path to the graphics is incorrect, or the name of the graphic.
Check them out.

[MV Blackie]

i have version 3.6.8 and it does not work

forum : www.2route.be

[nyunyu]

can the banner be called?

I mean, let's say I create 'banner.php' and and put it somewhere in the server (which I can update with ease via ftp). In vb, could it possible to insert php include so that it will call the php I created? If yes, can you show me how?

thanks.

[powerful_rogue]

Wow!

This is exactly what ive been looking for!

Couple of questions though! Is it possible to have two random banners next to each other like in the image below? Also if I add this code to the footer, would it display on every page?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=72210&d=1194864275

[powerful_rogue]

Ive managed to add the code to the footer so it now displays on everypage, however will it be possible so I can have two random banners next to each other like in the picture above?

[idca]

i have a problem with one of my banners ive got the exact code as the others but it seems that it is not showing up. i have currently 4 banners and this one is my 5th.
i dont even get a error image if the path to the image was wrong

[BigDog56]

Edit Nevermid, lol

[z0diac]

I clicked the demo link and I really can't find out what this script/hack does....
