No :)

Got it running, disregard my post 2 up.

I also did the modification that rotates the banner. Works fine but I noticed that the browser doesn't refresh the banners very well. If you load the first time on a showthread template for instance, all the other threads you view afterwards show the same banner. Until you refresh the browser. Is this a browser caching issue or can something be done to force the page to request a new banner? Do views get counted if its cached like this?

thx :)

Is there any way to make this a random banner script.

I have several banners i want to show randomally in the "header" template

Anyone tell me how to do this?

Cheers

I have ported KarateKid's banner mod to vBulletin 3.0.3 if anyone is interested..

I haven't done the userreport.php file yet, but I've got all the admin stuff done and it's working good on the site I'm administering. It was actually fairly easy to do - kudos to the vBulletin crew for writing a fairly decent API...

Speaking of which, is there any developer manual floating around for vB? Sure I've got the source, but it'd be nice to have a little philosophy behind the functions as well..

Thanks,

I'm interested. Are you going to publically release it?

Sure - give me a day or two as I'm still working on finishing up the report page for users..

Any requests?

Although I had already come up with a solution for vB2, a lot of people wanted a way to rotate multiple banners.

That's already done - and I did it inside of the phpinclude_start template instead of dropping it in the globals.php file using someone's (can't remember off the top of my head) RAND() SQL fix.

I, and I think a few other people, had a problem using the view.php page to generate the image as it seemed either the browser was caching the image or whatever. So instead I just added code to phpinclude_start that increments the view value right after it selects the data from the database.

Sounds good! :up:

Allrighty, here's my modifications.

- upgraded to work with vBulletin 3.0.x (I'm using 3.0.3, so I don't know for sure if earlier versions work %100)
- added springbok's fix to rotate banners properly
- user report now allows multiple banners per user

I haven't tested this to work with the 1.2 "banners between catagories" feature, so don't be surprised if this breaks if you implemented the 1.2 step 5.

I'm still a vB newbie, so if you find anything or want to improve on anything please let me know..
