It works fine with 3.71 but you may want to try the proper version.

Hopefully someone here can help - I'm trying to install the Banner Rotator but I've got a different forum style so I'm not too sure...

I can't find this line of code:

<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />

on the Header section of my forum.

My Header section contains a lot more code than the default one:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td style="width: 331px;"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg" alt="" width="331" height="80" /></td>
<td style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_bg.gif);"><div style="padding-right: 15px;" align="right">$random_banner3[$random_number3]</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

Yes I have, and I've also added the image/jpeg stuff, and still getting the error message!

I've loaded the newer version and this still doesnt work!

I'm starting to wonder why I am bothering with it.

The permissions are set at 777 on the ./image and .image/banners folders and still no luck.

Have you added it with an

|

so image/gif|image/jpeg

and so on .
No seperator is used at the end of the last item

You need to add the extension type to Options -> Banner Rotator -> Extensions

Hi. I installed it, and the images are uploaded, but I can't see them in the 'Edit Banners' tab. What's wrong? http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8625/nobannerfd4.jpg

it says: "
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to access /home99a/sub005/sc62064-XBST/www/forum/images/banners/Banner - 001.png in [path]/admincp/banner_rotator.php on line 56"

Also, there're not showing up on my frontpage either. I know it's in the right spot too. Thanks ^_^

To developer

A good idea is to add the ability to display a specific banner to specific forums, or limit a banner to be displayed only in a group of forums.
Also another good idea is to automatically deactivate a banner after a specific amount of views or hits.

i think you meen like this ?
jpeg|jpg|png|bmp|gif|image/jpeg|application/x-shockwave-flash
these settings are standard in the banner rotator when i installed it
as you can see gif is in the list and stil its not accepted
shoot me because i dont understand it
and i reaaly would like it to work because more people are asking me for a banner on my site now

and i really want to add some banners for organisations who do good work
like greenpeace and so on
so if some one feels like helping out you can always contact me:cool:

Hey, I have the STYLE/SKIN Enlighten. Now, the banner is located in the Main CSS. This is how it looks:
#logo {
background: url(enlighten/misc/header_logo.gif);
width: 197px;
height: 102px;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
How would I be able to make the banner rotate with the other banners I made?

I have the same. Any idea??If i put there the code doesnt appear, appears the background.

/* ***** sets background for header area - No need to change this ***** */
#hdr {
background: #F7632F url(enlighten/misc/header_back.gif) ;
width: 100%;
height: 102px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

Please help!

I installed and this works great!! I followed the installation and I have the GIF to work, I can upload and all the other settings. However, the image I use seems to be centered in some odd setting. The image is not left justified, and there seems to be a larger area that is not a hotlink. I can see that by hovering my mouse from side to side of the image.

Is there another setting that I am missing?
www.metrodubs.com/forums

I changed the following settings in the vBulletin Options section for Banner Rotator;
added “|image/gif”
default height to 85
default width to 575
default Alt to www.metrodubs.com
file size to 50000
default dir (unchanged)

and I added the following to the header;
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">$banner</a></td>

why does it show the banner centered?

vbplusme

02-11-2009, 12:32 AM

why does it show the banner centered?

Is this a new query or an extension of the old question you asked months ago? Most likely the "template" that has the banner call has center alignment wrapped around it. You should check the header template where you placed the $banner. The call that its embedded in will probably have an center alignment in it.

Working fine with 3.8.1

Wanted to ask this question, I've got this mod installed and it works great! My question is that can I also make this display a different set of banners below my navbar? Can I install the product named something else or something and add the code in the navbar template as well? Let me know! Thanks

Does this work with VB 3.8.3?

webspider

07-19-2009, 09:27 PM

Works for me.

w00ttastic

08-30-2009, 08:30 PM

Doesn't work for me on 3.8.3. I've tried the given instructions, tried using <center>$banner</center>, tried tweaking the options in the Banner Rotator options, but nothing doing. All I get is nothing where my banner should be.

This hack works for me, but when i click the banner, it simply goes back to the main page of my forum, not to the URL i specified in the banner...

HELP!

thanks

I really liked this hack, would be nice to see a VB4 version.

I haven't seen anything I like yet in the VB4 mods.
