#slider { width:468px; height:30px; margin:0 auto; padding:0; }

Is there a way for it to show just one banner on page load.

When I refresh the page sometimes it shows all four banners one above the other until the page has fully loaded and then it shrinks down to just one, then it starts to rotate.

Thanks.

You can see it here http://www.techkings.org/forum/
This is not Possible Because we are displaying our contents in an Un-Ordered List and Controlling them with CSS & Jquery when we open our website all the data loads within the form but jquery & slider.js loads some time late as slider.js file controls the loop of banners which loads later

Nice mod.... :)

Before I install it, is there a place I control where it appears?

The top right on my web site doesn't work for me ...

Thank you ...

Just Change height and width in code
1st one is in
/* slider */
.slider {height:60px;}
change height in above

Then change in every <div>
<div style="background-color:#000; color:#FFF; width:468px; height:60px; padding:0px; margin:0px;">
Change height and width of each <div> according to ur needs

This would be a more desirable and downloaded hack if you can create a plugin with admin options to add and remove sponsors rather then editing the header file.

Noob question here, but how do I get the banner to load where you had yours (xitclub.com) -tucked right under the login info? I used the "Advertising>Add New Add>Global>Header 2" slot in vBulletin 4.08 (see circled area in left image).

As seen in the image to right, my banner is stuck in the middle.

Great mod and thank you.

On xitclub The Place is Default By Template Try to Use "header1" Place

I have tried both, but get the same result in both Header 1 & Header 2.

Then that is an issue of your template

This is what I wanted. Not a "mod" really, just some code that can be put into the ad block to rotate images. Thanks!

In answer to the question above about fixing the "rewind" after the last image, that's all built into the easySlider JQuery code. The good news is that if you upgrade from version 1.5 to 1.7, it fixes that problem. Instead of "rewinding", it just smoothly scrolls to the first image after the last image.

For the less-code-savvy, it's pretty easy to make that change. Just download version 1.7 (http://cssglobe.com/post/5780/easy-slider-17-numeric-navigation-jquery-slider), place it in the folder where you put version 1.5, and then change the reference to the filename in your code block from "1.5" to "1.7". That's it!

Oh, BTW, you can eliminate a lot of the code in this example. The fact that it has styling in place for the body tag could override your theme style (it did mine), so I got rid of it and the rest of the general HTML page stuff.

Here's the less-cluttered code that I used:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="easySlider1.7.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
// <![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#slider").easySlider({
controlsShow: false,
controlsBefore: '<p id="controls">',
controlsAfter: '</p>',
auto: true,
continuous: true,
pause: 10000
});
});
// ]]>
</script>
<style type="text/css">
#slider { width:468px; height:30px; margin: 0 auto; padding:0; }
#slider ul,
#slider li { margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; }
/*
define width and height of list item (slide)
entire slider area will adjust according to the parameters provided here
*/
#slider li { width:468px; height:60px; overflow:hidden; }

/* slider */
.slider {height:60px;}
</style>

<div class="slider">
<div id="slider">
<ul>

<li>
<div style="background-color:#000; color:#FFF; width:468px; height:60px; padding:0px; margin:0px;">
Ad #1 Here
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="background-color:#000; color:#FFF; width:468px; height:60px; padding:0px; margin:0px;">
Ad #2 Here
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="background-color:#000; color:#FFF; width:468px; height:60px; padding:0px; margin:0px;">
Ad #3 Here
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
