Rotating Forum Banners

Rotating Forum Banners

Tested on vBulletin 3.0.1


I have seen this sort of hack requested many times so I thought I would spend a bit of time and create one.

This will add upto 3 rotating image banners with links on each of your forums using your AdminCP.

The orignal slide show script came from Dynamic Drive (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/translucentslide.htm)

Some values you can change in the script are for pause between next image, animation speed and image size, just find:


var trans_width='480px' //slideshow width
var trans_height='60px' //slideshow height
var pause=5000 //SET PAUSE BETWEEN SLIDE (3000=3 seconds)
var degree=10 //animation speed. Greater is faster





If you use this please click install, thanks :)

[pjdaley]

very useful, waiting for something like this! thannx

[???`S?LV?R???`]

nice, i think i can find some use for this eventually.

[gmarik]

cool. could be more advanced - will be?

[Beermonster]

How do you mean? how advanced do you want it?

[reteep]

Great, thanks a lot!

[joeychgo]

its great - but I would prefer something that would have more then 3 banners and could be displayed on all forums

I did 3 because I thought it was a good place to start, like I said it's easy to add more, but where do you stop? you might want 5, someone else 10, and another wants 25, to display on all forums shouldn't be a problem I will have a look at it

ok, maybe simple instructions on how to add more for those of us who are html challenged? :)

hmm I had started to do that, but I'm getting really confused :)

If you can see whats happening to this then I will be happy to go through the rest of it

Run Query:
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `rbanner1` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `description` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `rbannerlink1` VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL AFTER `rbanner1` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `rbanner2` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `rbannerlink1` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `rbannerlink2` VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL AFTER `rbanner2` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `rbanner3` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `rbannerlink2` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `rbannerlink3` VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL AFTER `rbanner3` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `rbanner4` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `rbannerlink2` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `rbannerlink3` VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL AFTER `rbanner4` ;

[joeychgo]

No no -- im one of the HTML challenged :)


Also -- I was thinking --- is there a way to break it up so that one set of banners can work as you have it, on an individual forum basis, and then have a second set for all the non forum specific areas ?

I've added the extra bits of code for you, it will now show up to 10 banners on each forum, also note that I have not installed or tested this one but there should be no reason why it won't work, any problems just ask.

I'm not sure what you mean with showing a second set for all non forum specific areas

[Prince]

nice hack, just installed it and it works perfectly!

[reteep]

Is it possible to show the Banners even if a user is reading a thread in the forum itself?

I see the error "?" icon scroll to the center of the forum, but no banner! As if the image is not seen....Help!

[Trigunflame]

People If you wanna do banner rotation just use something much simpler

1. Go to whichever style you want banner rotated. (Style Manager > Style Name > All Style Options)

2. In The phpinclude_start box insert this
// Foreach banner you want to rotate insert a a line such as:
// 'images/bannerx.gif',
$banner_array = array(
'images/banner1.jpg',
'images/banner2.jpg',
'images/banner3.jpg'
);
$banner = $banner_array[mt_rand(0,count($banner_array)-1)];

3. In the header template replace the section that deals with the img tag with something like this

<img src="$banner" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" usemap="#Map" />

Basically you're just changing the the src to the $banner variable... very easy requires no special html or javascript or any of that stuff..

I am running it on my server, serving over 150K banners a day, running vBulletin, coppermine and few sites off of one server with no problem.

The application is amazing and has more futures then you'll ever need :)

I want to have those three rotating banners on the FORUMHOME page directly under the navbar.

How can I do so?

I think this can be also done or?

In your AdminCP you need to go to Languages & Phrases then Phrase Manager and add new phrase.

Thanks for the info, but there's no need to hijack other peoples threads to advertise your own, they are totally different hacks

[Spinball]

I apologise but it was not my intention to 'hijack' any thread, but rather to let people know of a solution to a possible need they might have.
If our roles were reversed, I would thank you for offering people an alternative solution but i would not chastise you for 'advertising' your own.
I have nothing to gain from 'advertising' my hack on here. I posted it to 'give something back' to the vBulletin.org community.
I thought this forum was about helping people out with hacks, not inflating egos. If it offends you so much, please ask admin to delete it and let forum members find it themselves. I'm sure they'll apreciate your helpfulness.

[Beermonster]

I'm not inflating my ego, I don't have one, I always thought that the thread started was for help and support, ie "The Author(s) agreed to give support for this modification!"

[Spinball]

I always thought that the thread started was for help and support, ie "The Author(s) agreed to give support for this modification!"

Ok, well let me correct you, then. The way I see it, these threads exist for three purposes:


To let people know that the hack exists. I.e. people find the hack by searching through the archive. Which is the reason I posted here.
For the author to support the hack as you say and
For people to discuss the hack (implementation, variations etc).


But if I'm wrong, then please ask admin to delete my posts from here. I'm not bothered either way - just trying to help people out as I've recieved some tremendous help from you folks on here and it's appreciated.

OK but you didn't do any of that, it was just a case of "May I please point people in the direction of this thread" that's not discussing it at all, anyway I really aren't that bothered, and this is the last I will say on the subject.

A better way to have more banners would be to use a MULTI-LINE form box. Two of them. One for the Image Link and one for the URL. That way they can correspond to eachother and you can add as many as you need or dont need.

Perhaps someone can modify this hack to use that kind of system.

I looked in to this at first, but the only problem is that the info is stored in mysql so you would still have to create the tables in the first place, and also I'm not sure how you would call the data from the text box, and also you will have to add more phrases, it's not jsut a case of a simply modification, it needs totaly rewriting, but your free to give it ago :)

I'm really not sure why you are posting all these bit's of code, it looks like you have added some lines to some parts but not to others, you have added rbanner4 to the mysql but nothing to the FORUMDISPLAY

If it's not showing in the AdminCP then without looking I'm not sure and seen that I don't have axx to it there's no point in posting the link :)

One of the reasons it might not be showing is that you have something that prefixes the tables, like vb3_table name

[luiseman]

the prefix table is none.

[Beermonster]

the prefix table is none.


Your not really giving me much to go on, it has to be something that you have done wrong, try reinstalling it but without your modification and see if it works then.

If it doesn't work I will happily install it for you, I've already done it for several people, just pm me with your admin login details, ftp & mysql, apart from that with out a proper description of what you are doing and what is not happening there's not a lot I can do.

[nelto]

is by any chance some one tested this hack on 3.0.3?

I was looking for something like this.

[Doc203]

Yes... it works fine on 3.03

[Mu5icMan]

Could this be modified so you can upload the banners from your computer to the appropriate directory instead of using ftp.

[Beermonster]

Could this be modified so you can upload the banners from your computer to the appropriate directory instead of using ftp.

You mean by selecting it from a browse box in the AdminCP or to use a separate upload script?

Either way the answer would be yes but then you would still have to delete them using ftp, but I don't have the time to make the changes I'm busy working on other projects, and there wouldn't be much of a gain in doing it, but if someone wants to try they are more than welcome.

[Mu5icMan]

I mean by selecting it from a browse box.

If it's ok with you can i made changes to your hack to allow this.

After i'm done shall i post it here, or pm you with it to make sure it's acceptable.

1.4 No senseless "Bumping": Please do not bump your request/help searching or other threads several times a day. Remember there are people who don't browse this board every hour. So do not bump a thread within 24h or too much even after 24 hours.

[Spinball]

$banners = array (
"banner1.gif|redirect1.pl|alt text 1|0|468|60",
"banner2.gif|redirect2.pl|alt text 2|0|468|60"
);
$banner = $banners[mt_rand(0,sizeof($banners) - 1)];
list($imgsrc,$myurl,$alttext,$border,$width,$heigh t) = explode ('|',$banner);

This code is what is used on a normal website. You'll have to use something different for vB, I expect. Haven't looked at the rest of the thread.

echo("<A HREF=\"http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/$myurl\" TARGET = \"_blank\"><IMG src=\"http://www.yoursite.com/banners/$imgsrc?" . mt_rand(1,999) . "\" border=\"$border\" width=\"$width\" height = \"$height\" alt=\"$alttext\"></A>");


Clicking the banners fires the perl script in your cgi-bin folder. This is so you can run reports on your activity log file to count the number of times each perl script has been opened. This is the number of clicks of each banner.

Hope this helps.

<!--- End Rotaing Banner --->


this code is for the 3 banner version
There is a miscoding in the SHOWTHREAD code to display the rotating banners. I used the original code from the Installation Instructions in the SHOWTHREAD template coding.

Thanks, I've had a couple of others with the same problem but wasn't sure what caused it

Hmmmmm...am I missing something, because in the original instructions the template mod was in the "ForumDisplay" template, not the "SHOWTHREAD" template. I tried replacing the code in the "ForumDisplay" with the code included above, and the banners stopped working. Any ideas?

The original was the ForumDisplay someone asked if it could be shown else where, not sure why your banners stopped working

I directly replaced the code in FORUMDISPLAY with the code listed above, and the banners no longer display. What am I missing here??

[calvinnguyen]

I just install this hack! I love it, thanks Beermonster!

But, how can I make rotating banners display at forumhome? Can any one or Beermonster show me how to? thanks for advance

[camoman]

Just installed this hack as well.. Works GREAT!!! THANKYOU!

However, I am also wondering how to get this hack to work on the forum home page as well?!?!

Thanks in advance!

-Curtis

[Crank]

so does this hack only allow for three (3) total banners for the entire board or just three for each forum assigned?

[Beermonster]

so does this hack only allow for three 930 total banners for the entire board or just three for each forum assigned?

sorry? :rolleyes:

[Crank]

wondering if you can set more than three banners for the board or if it only allows you to use three total.

[Beermonster]

You can have different banners for each forum you have and If you check some of the previous posts you will see I have added one for 10 banners :)

[Crank]

ok thank you for your help beermonster i apologize for having missed that post. thanks again for the hack and i look forward to installing. thanks again

[dr.science]

Can someone help me and tell me what I am doing wrong.

http://www.d-series.org/forums/index.php?

The banner links aren't working correctly, and on my main forum home I can't get it centered. Please be specific with what files I need to edit if you can.. I would really appreciate some help on this. :)

Thanks a ton!!

This hack isn't for your forum home, but if you click on a forum like this http://www.d-series.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8 then it looks fine to me

feel free to click install ;)

[dr.science]

*clicked*. ;)

I don't understand why your link works and mine doesn't?!?!? Can I get it to work right normally, everytime users visit the forum? Thanks again!

I didn't do anything special, just clicked on a forum

[steadicamop]

I love this hack, it's so effective and unobtrusive.

Just one question - how do I put this on the index page? I've tried copying the code from the showthread template, but it doesn't work .... I pasted it in the bottom half of the navbar template so it would be universal then, to save me going through every single forum and adding them manually, which would take a while!!

Any help would be great.

Thanks for a cracking hack!

Hi Beermonster,

Nice little hack, looks cool :)

I would like something like this on forumhome too, any idea how to this? Also is there a possibilty of getting the sponsored by text like your other hack (which I have installed :) ) added to this one.

Thanks for sharing!
