Does not work. When I go to Quick Links to manage banners it takes me to my smilies page. Looks cool, but can't install if it doesn't work.

Thought I would point out, when you click the link in the installed products page, it takes you to the 3.7 version and not the 3.8

I have updated mine manually.

Great mod always.

i have a simple question for you.

My forum dir is on www.mysite.com/forum/ but whenever I am on the vBadvanced CMPS (www.mysite.com/) all the banners do not show.

How can I make them show on my frontpage which is the vBadvanced CMPS

I include /forum/ in front of cyb_banners/ and it shows up on my vba.

so like this => /forum/cyb_banners/blahblah.jpg

thestaton

01-21-2009, 07:45 PM

My forum uses two themes. One that already has banners, and the other is just the VB Grey theme. Is it possible to only enable banners from CYB for just the VB Grey theme and not the alternate?

Thanks,

Vaupell

Hi...
Have tried several installs now, on both 3.8.0 and 3.8.1

No errors on install, but does not appear to be working.

If I select the quick-link Banner management, the Smilies Page appears.

Apart from the Hack Page under vBulletin Options, I can't see anywhere in the AdminCP to change anything...

Any help would be appreciated..

Dave

hi, I am using 3.8.1 with vbadavanced. First off, the banner management page disappeared from the navbar drop down menu. Tried putting in the code for navbar, with no success. Also cant seem to get it to work on the forum home page. Not sure which template to add the code to. Thanks.

snotek

02-24-2009, 01:35 AM

How do I add banners in multiple places on the same page? Say, below the NAV bar and below the FORUMS?

I've seen MANY questions on this same issue for the 3.7 and 3.8 versions yet none of them have ever been answered.

---
Suggestions. Why not place your $cyb_flashimagebanners variable into one of the many built in vB "Ad Location Templates" and then give the admin the ability to choose which they want enabled.

This would both allow for easier implementation and less confusion for those not familiar with HTML code.

I would also suggest giving the ability to add <style> bits to the code via the settings page. For example: I added border: 1px solid #fff to your code... Others may want to add a bit of style elements, but with no easy way to do it.

I have everything working correctly except for when you click on the banner. It gives a message of oops this link appears to be broken. I have posted the banners on my forum and you can click on them there and they work fine. Any Idea why they are not redirecting properly?

Hi,

First, I want to thank you for a great mod. It's exactly what i was looking for.

I would like to know if there's a way to do that.

On my homepage, I have two sets of banners (one horizontal and one vertical) - this mod can only control one banner. How can I make a second installation of the mod so I can manage the two sets. I tried already but I got a lots of errors.

Thanks for your help.

03-15-2009, 07:00 AM

This Mod is great i have a few little problems that i was wondering if you could help me with

See the pic below i want to add the banner in the same location and don't know anything about php which one do i edit and where do i past the code $insert_cybfibr" after "$vbphrase[miscellaneous]

Also with the banners i have to add them into the root folder of the site i've tried adding a folder and pointing in the manager banners but it won't display.

04-03-2009, 07:56 PM

Very nice hack. Thanks. How could I add two banners on the same line (like one at left and one at right)? They would rotate considering all the banners available. This would be a nice addition no?

Also, considering adding banners between a number ofdefine posts, would be nice too,

Guys i cant get this to work - im running CleanBlue theme and want a banner at the top of every page - what do I do?

Cybershaolin

04-10-2009, 06:24 AM

So, any possibility to have some options to add more than only one rotating banner than the one in the header.

I would really like to have more banners on my pages but don't know how to achieve this.

Thanks. This works for me as well. Some thing you might want to add to the how-to:

After installing, options are set in the admincp however banners are managed from the forums themselves by clicking on 'Quick Links' >> 'Manage Banners'.

Banners should be uploaded to $forumhome/[banners_directory_you_create]

Setting to 'Single' mode shows one banner per refresh in random order

What if I want certain mods to manage the banners for me? How do I give them access???

Valter

04-24-2009, 07:08 AM

If you can give them access to your ftp to upload banners, then you can make them SuperAdmins too. Or they can do it. :-)

04-27-2009, 03:34 PM

graet mod .

I used it as a random header .

So, any possibility to have some options to add more than only one rotating banner than the one in the header.

I would really like to have more banners on my pages but don't know how to achieve this.

I was about to ask you how to do it :d .

However, I hope you achieve it in next version . In Sha Allah ;)

Edit: (Found my answer a couple post up)

But i am having problems with the display on VBA does it only carry over when placed in the header? I have it in the Navbar and its not carrying over like everythin g else does. the quick link is ther but not the banner.

In the next release will there be a option to set duration advertisement? I mean like if i set it to display/rotate for a year it will automatically stop and deactivate the ad when a specific date is reached?

Love this mod, now have it running on all of my sites. Easily the best out there (and I've used a lot).

Once modification I'd really love to see is to change the option 'Open links in new window/tab' to be configurable per banner. Some banners I want to open a new tab and some banners I want to point to locartion on same site.

Cyb, any chance of this in a future release please?

This hack seems to be almost perfect.

The problem is that I have different sizes for my banners, the variable $cyb_flashimagebanners displays all banners every where you place it.

It would be great if you can tell the hack which banner group to display in the variable.
$cyb_flashimagebanners_group_1
$cyb_flashimagebanners_group_2
$cyb_flashimagebanners_group_3

and so on

Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
I would love this functionality as well. :up:

Just to clarify, I assume the 'clicks' column is just a counter?
Development Suggestion: Would it be possible to display a specific Ad for a duration defined by clicks per month, and once the set click count is reach for a set month to no longer display the Ad?

07-07-2009, 07:24 AM

Cyb, are you there buddy? :)
Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated because I've tried everything I can think of, to get a banner box to appear NEXT TO (and not under) a forum description using the NAVBAR template.

Thanks

I'm a little slow on the uptake and it took me a bit to figure out where the banner directory should be and where I should add $cyb_flashimagebanners (ad_header_end), but it all worked out in the end.

Script rotates banners with no page refresh when you select Continuous or Random mode. Duration option is there to set how long (in seconds) individual banner is shown before script switches to the next one.

I am having issues with the timed banners, they dont work properly, i I have banners for 3 or 8 seconds and get the banners to show the same amount of time, all show at 8 seconds, changed display order & played with settings too no avail

I have a feature suggestion. I would like to set an expiration date for each ad, so that I don't have to manually remove ads later.

Also, I would like the option of adding a line of text underneath each ad which is also linked.

Thanks for the nice plugin.

Is it possible for someone to explain me, what exactly do i have to do in order banner to appear in these two positions that i've marked in the following image? (the one or/and the other)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=101431&stc=1&d=1246615356

Thx in advanced!

In the navbar template, try putting "$cyb_flashimagebanners" in the following location:

<else />
<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><strong>$vboptions[B]$cyb_flashimagebanners</strong></div>
</if>
</td>

I got it working with images but not working with flash. Set to 640 X 480. with 500 delay (just one banner atm).

Should flash be .swf or .flw?

the file is 256K is that to much? Whats the limit?

There is no size limit. And it should be swf.

Ensure that you have selected Flash in Banner Type setting.

I installed an all, but the banners are not showing, I replaced the $cybblabalbla with the <a href of the banner directly and it worked just fine

UNINSTALLED
This is not working for fresh install of vbulletin version 3.8.3.

Manage Banner link is missing, Images don't display on any pages of the forum, Images not found in Cyb folder once the banner is setup in the manager.... and several other issues incountered.

Even with the manual insert of the code per the note with the zip file it doesn't show. I had to place a direct link to get it to show up, but then everyone sees it.

Manage banner link is there for me as I am a super admin as set in config. i.e. user '1' or '2' etc.

The cybfolder, you have to set up on your server I gather. I alredy had a banners folder so I just entered the direct url of each image and they display.

I just installed this and I can get the first banner to show up, and it rotates to the others but the banner image doesn't show up on any of the others.

Any ideas?
What did you do, I hav ejust installed it and the first banner shows up for the set period of time buy it does not refresh. I have it in random mode.

great mod and the flash can rotate by setting the time limit.
as got a pm from brother/sister and so may contribute for little help.

i use the ipb-pro skin and modify the "forumhome" template,and remember create a sub-directory to hold your image or flash files

,and see the following as a reference to add the "$cyb_flashimagebanners" variable:

post whole template code for easy checking.

For the next version it would interesting that You can select the forums you want the banner to appear with inherit option (like banner rotator)

Thank you

paintballer.ie

08-19-2009, 09:28 PM

note to people with problems getting banner to display/work properly... turn off the auto placement if you manually add the command to a template. (that was my problem anyways)

also would it be possible to set this up or change product name and install it twice so you can have 2 different sets of rotating banners in different locations? thanks

Manual inserting the code worked for me also.

I also would like to be able to set up two of these, one for a banner in the header and another for a square banner on me side bar. Can one just edit the install file in dream weaver and change the plugin name to cby.....2 or something?

I also want it to show on just one forum page which is http://www.mysite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=71 ...........What do I insert to make it show?

Just updated from 1.7 to 1.8, on vB 3.8.1.

The following problems are noticed:

Banners start loading on pages, but then they dissappear as soon as they load, or even before they've finished loading. This problem also happened with the previous 1.7 version, but less often.

Edit: I've changed Duration from '5' to '30' for each banner. The banner still disappears though it takes longer to do so.

Edit: This problem is not reproduced when Play Mode is set to 'Single'

I'm a complete newbie so if anyone could help me with this very basic question I would really appreciate it.

I've installed this mod on my forum - all seems fine, it loads up inthe Admin CP and I can access it via the Quick Links on the nav bar. I then uploaded the banner images to a new folder on my server with the address say http://forum.mydomain.com/web/content/banners

When input the address to a banner image via Quick Links I get a broken image in the little window int he mod control area. I am inputting the full file path/URL as above eg. http://forum.mydomain.com/web/content/banners/bannerimage.jpg
Then if I make the banner active I get the outline of the banner with a broken image on the forum... what am I doing wrong? I told you it was a newbie question!

Any help would be great!

I have them in a folder I created called cyb_banners
The file path is something like: http://forum.mysite.com/cyb_banners/banner.jpg

When I place the file path/url as above in the mod cp in Quick Links I get a broken image. This image is also broken on the forum if I active the banner....

I presume I am not doing it correctly, how do I fix this?

I've tried both jpg and gif types at 468 x 60 px and no joy. Could it be the file path causing an issue? the address is http://forum.mysitename.com/web/content/images/cyb_banners/banner.jpg

Any help would be great! Thank you!

You'll have to upload them using an FTP client, Miss Chatterbox.

Miss Chatterbox

Oooh thank you very much - do you know where I'm supposed to upload them to i.e. is it a specific folder in my forum's root directory? :)

AfterWorldForum

11-08-2009, 04:04 PM

You have to create the folder yourself. You can either add it in a subfolder of your forums dir (i.e. /forums/cyb-banners) or if you think they belong elsewhere , you create the folder there).

The menu from the second screenshot is avaiable under "quick links".

Does this mod allow you to add banners to each individual fourm or can you only add banners in the navbar?

For example i have a sponsor paying for advertising on a certain board only. I want to add their banner to the forum and not include anyone elses. Any have an idea how to do this?

The click area for the banner ads seems to take an area 2x the width of the banner ad... see screen shot..

How can I edit/fix:confused: this?

<a href=\"'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/misc.php?do=cybbannman\">'.$vbphrase['cybfibr_manage'].'</a></td></tr>';

you see he does have an error by my terms. I changed it to below and works and also fixed the smiley error part.

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/misc.php?do=cybbannman">'.$vbphrase['cybfibr_manage'].'</a></td></tr>';

results may vary but this is how i got it working on custom themes and also other boards that was having issues.

so.. mmoore5553

What specifically did your code change fix - the link going to wrong URL or other issues?

mmoore5553

12-03-2009, 12:51 PM

that actually solved when i posted his code and it sent me to a smiley page. I then looked at code and seen there was wrong code. Once i did that and moved the code to User CP it started to work.

Thanks.. I did not have that problem... I am still looking for some help on adjusting the area that the banner ad takes up - it is 2x the width of the banner...

Just for clarification, this handy mod can be used to rotate over an existing site header, assuming dimensions and position of images matches the header?

Meaning the existing site header is always in place, but then the images put into the rotation are just overlayed on top of the header?

Thanks to the author and anyone using this with success in advance to your response.

well it works like a flash header but with just images ..you put four images and they rotate out and go in sequence.

I am unsure. If it is custom skin you have to actually place the code ..if not it should be there ..unless the path is somehow wrong . That is something i would have to see .

Thanks for the reply. That helps.

I have a question and that is with regards to account access to the hack. It says only SuperAdmins have access.

I have found that the link to "Manage Banners" from the Navbar does not show for my 2 other Administrator level accounts. Full access has been granted.

So where is my error?

Thanks

I am unsure. If it is custom skin you have to actually place the code ..if not it should be there ..unless the path is somehow wrong . That is something i would have to see .

I had to simply read just a few more lines down, b/c CYB is just UberSense-ible.

3. OPTIONAL (if link to manage banners page is not shown in Quick links menu):
Open navbar template and add "$insert_cybfibr" after "$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>"

Edit, I'm not thinking.

I am account #1 (Administrator UserGroup), the root user of the site. I am the only one that sees the said Link in the QL (Manage Banners)

I have 2 other people in the same Usergroup, using the same style, and they do not see the Link. I even added Super Mod as a secondary group and no change.

Edit 2:

My answer is revealed here by the great CyB (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1828443&postcount=88)

I do wish that could be handled within the ACP, rather than a root file.

I really hope this mod gets ported over to 4.01. It makes life easy for handling simple banner rotations with zero hassle

Hmmmm, nice Hack. But it doesn't work as expected. When I click on an banner, I get a Error-Message about a Securtity-Token-Error (Have the message only in German).

Can anybody help me to repair that?

Version is 3.8.4

Thanks for a great mod. It works well for me, no problem with links etc. I have to say that the install instructions assumed knowledge that I didn't have. If it wasn't for the help of other posters on this thread I would have given up on a good mod. Thanks for the help guys. Times two.

Can anyone tell me which template will show the banners above (in between) each post in 3.8.4?

I also vote for the ad timeout option. Start date and time, end date and time, or permanent display.

I think you would just place the call for cybimagebanner rotator where you want it to display. I think the template that displays the different posts for a given thread is FORUMDISPLAY.

Thanks.. I did not have that problem... I am still looking for some help on adjusting the area that the banner ad takes up - it is 2x the width of the banner...

You can do that with the left margin option that's in your ACP. I run standard banner sizes and set that option to 400 and excess clickable space is now gone.

Now if I can just get the rotation times independent of each other ill be doing good, as of right now all banners are displayed for the amount of time the last banner is set to. No matter what there individual settings are.

For those who use this mod in vbadvanced CMPS as front page, after you put

$cyb_flashimagebanners

at the desired place on your vba template

add

cyb_flashimagebanners

at AdminCP > vBa CMPS > Default Settings > Main Options > Portal Output Global Variables

Is it possible to run two instances of this, say cybbanners and cybanners2? I would like to have a version for a banner up top and a square banner on a sidebar.

I tried to do a quick find and replace of some code to try and get two banners going, but I failed.

What else needs to be renamed?

Banner Alignment Problem Over Header Image

Recently I changed my header to be split into three images set in a table as shown below.

QUESTION: Where in my header code must I put $cyb_flashimagebanners to make my banners show up ontop of my right side image (4C_Header_Right.png)

PROBLEM: No matter where I put $cyb_flashimagebanners in my header code it aligns messed up and NOT over the top of my right side header image.

SOLUTION?: Can someone provide me with a header code to get my banners to show on top of my right side image please.

MY HEADER CODE BELOW:



<a name="top"></a>
<center>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/4C_Header_BG.png)">
<tr>

<td align="left" valign="top"><a href="http://www.MyDomain.com/"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/4C_Header_Left.png" border="0" alt=""/></a></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/4C_Header_Right.png" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

I moved to vBulletin 4.x and there was a problem. I disabled plugins via the admin panel before the upgrade knowing that this one wouldn't work, but that didn't do the trick. I had planned on installing your new version after the upgrade, but it looks like I need to do that from scratch.

So that being said, I add a line to the config.php file to disable all plugins to get my new site running. Before I install your new rotator, I need to first uninstall your old one, then enable plugins by removing that line of code, then install your new one.

I just don't know how to uninstall this one. Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it!

Valter, just a casual observation form someone wishing to install this properly - nowhere in the info.txt instructions does it tell the user how to install the banners and corresponding links to make this work!

Perhaps it might be a good idea to provide some means to upload the relevant banners and corresponding links from within the admin area, or better still, for someone to upload a video onto YouTube with how to do this on a forum.

Might cut down on the number of users posting question on here whilst trying to figure out how to make it all work ;)

I had a bit of problem figuring this one out...the "manage banners" link wouldn't show up under the Quick Links section.

I finally figured out that I wasn't listed as Super Admin on the site.

If you are having the same problem, make you go to includes/config.php and give yourself Super Admin powers.

// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,2,3';
