vb.org Archive - Miscellaneous Hacks - Rotating Banner System

Hi everyone,

I feel like such a noob, I uploaded the files via FTP then went into my admin cp and add/import plugins. However I get this error:
Please upload the files that came with the product before installing or upgrading!

Missing files: (It says nothing here!)

Can anyone point me in the right direction of whats going wrong!

Many Thanks

You likely uploaded the files to the wrong path. Make sure you upload the CONTENTS of uploads to the root, not the folder itself. The path layout in the uploads folder matches the layout for vBulletin so do that and problem should go away. The file upload has to be there in the right place before importing any vBulletin plugin.

Additionally, it may be possible that your FTP rights differ from the rights of your web server, thus files may be there but can't be seen by the web server.

I tried uploading the contents files to my webserver using CPanel and got the same error. To confirm I am uploading the files from the admin folder and xml folder to the corresponding folders on my webserver then uploading rbs_banner.php and the stats.php to my forum root directory.

Thanks for the quick replies!

I have been experiencing a issue with flash banners. When I have a flash banner show up under my navbar and then I click in one of my drop down boxes in the navbar the flash banner appears on top of the drop down box. This cover up the items in the dropdowns. How can I prevent this from happening?

Play around with AdminCP>Advertising>Add new Ad. And be sure to read this entire thread (which you're always supposed to do before installing any mod).

Hi,

Thank you for your replay. I have 2 questions:
1. If my flash has an internal URL I can't track clicks? do i get this right?
2. I guess when you wrote the Text field you meant the field with the description:
"
TextThis field may hold any kind of script (e.g. Google AdSense) and/or HTML which will be inserted in your pages. Please make sure it works and that all tags are closed properly.
"
When you say "leave the other fields empty" - what fields are you referring to?

Thanks

Same screen of same vbCMS article on same machine using Firefox 5.0 places banner from this mod at bottom in footer. (see pic on the right below)

I don't understand where to look to fix it, given in works in one browser and not the other. :confused:

Note: does not happen on forum home screens or other screens, just vbCMS ..

Any help would be appreciated ... :)

Regards,
Doug

.... Safari ....................... FireFox

Any follow up help with this problem that appears under vbCMS?

Thanks

Here is a followup to my post #1375.
I have included two screen shoots showing how the flash banner lies on top of the drop down menu.

I would really appreciate some help.

I've figured out the first issue.

I have a quick question and this this might be nooby, but how would I centre the banner located in ad_navbar_below?

Many Thanks!
