and then set all three check boxes below that to "Yes":

I haven't had a problem displaying flash banners. That has always worked.

The problem comes when you have a banner in such a position that a menu needs to drop down over them. My modification of the code allows that. But, now when the banner is clicked sometimes two windows open. One with the actual proper link, another with the banner itself.

Why don't you try to insert your Flash banner this way:

HTML Code:

<code>

<object height="60" width="468" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="path/to/banner.swf?clickTAG=http://urlgoes.here/"/>

<param name="WMode" value="transparent"/>

<param name="quality" value="high"/>

<param name="menu" value="false"/>

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/>

<param name=play value=true>

<param name=loop value=true>

<param name="movie" value="path/to/banner.swf?clickTAG=http://urlgoes.here/"/>

<p>Alternative text goes here</p>

</object>

</code>

The banner supplied by the client is not clicktag enabled.

Then simply ignore the clickTAG part and have your client insert the destination link. Either way, the code I provided was just a suggestion.

I had installed Rotating Banner System. This system is working on Header 1, and Below Navbar, but not Above Content 1. I do not know why. Can anyone tell me? Thanks.

Do you have 3 banners defined?

If you only have 2 banners and they are already displayed in Header 1 and Below Navbar, the Above Content has nothing to display.

For those having the same problem I was having with the flash banner itself loading in one window and the link for the banner in another, the attached swf fixes that problem.

In the original swf supplied with the Banner System, there were two items, one with an onClipEvent (mouseUp) and one with an on (release) event which are in effect the same thing, and this was causing two windows to open.

This swf eliminates the onClipEvent (mouseUp) for the banner container and leaves the on (release) for the button. That way click tracking continues to work.

Changes made to flash source:

REMOVED:

Code:

onClipEvent (mouseUp)

{

    getURL(_root.banner, "_blank");

}

LEFT INTACT:

Code:

on (release)

{

    getURL(_root.jlink, "_blank");

}

Thanks. I have 8 banners defined. All of them are displayed in Header 1. Now How can I solve my problem?

I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking and didn't realize you meant in the archive.

I just checked, and I have the same problem.

It's been a long time since I used this mod and with new changes and features I cannot get this to work on my vB 3.6.7 version.

I have tried every imaginable thing and the templates are returning only the raw code of placeholder name.

Here are the screenshots of my settings:

Banner Settings:

General settings:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/03/47.jpg

and Template code on my navbar template
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/03/48.jpg

I have vBSEO and I used custom placeholder name to avoid HTML cleanup issue.

At beginning nothing was even showing up. Once I changed hook locations for plugin Banner Insertion from global_complete to parse_templates, only the raw placeholder code is shown and not the actual banner as in:

Code:

#reklama:0#

#reklama:1#

Can someone advise how to get around this problem and make it work with 3.6.7 version?

I am using image banner and need to have click tracking feature enabled.

Many thanks for your time.
