vb.org Archive - Miscellaneous Hacks - Rotating Banner System

The box for the email addresses is the one. One week before the banner expires, a mail is sent to all recipients in that box.

EDIT: You my change the task accordingly. However, double sending is not supported and never will.

How do I do that? On my installation it sends an email on the day that the banner expires? Where do I set it to 1 week?

Yeah, once again a style question :)

For fixed 998px styles I use for header2, in additional.css:

PHP Code:


		
			
.rbs_header_2 {

height: 70px;

left: 515px;

position: absolute;

text-align: right;

top: 35px;

width: 468px;

}

and in header2:

PHP Code:


		
			
<div class="rbs_header_2"><!--@vbbanners:0@--></div>

it is working thanx.

I've requested a feature where we could set the expiration emails to x days. I too had no idea it was actually set to 7 days already. Or supposed to be. In my RBS 233 it says very vaguely:

Quote:

Mail addresses: Please list here one or more mail addresses to inform about banner events. Separate each email address by a space, e.g.: joe@domain.tld mary@domain.tld

Nothing about expiration or 7 days, just a very cryptic note about "banner events".

I've been looking into the code, and as far as I can see, it needs some revision ... on the other hand that's code from 3 years ago.

At this point, would you please suggest what kind of mailing options you would like to see, since I will touch it just that much :)

Thanks for asking.

Rephrase the adminCP to clearly state these are expiration emails (not "event" emails).
Include a variable for x days prior (but 7 is fine if you don't). Include in the admincp some text stating the hard coded 7 if that's what it is.
Include a link to the email text (so we don't have to go digging through Phrases to change it).
Include at least one variable in the email - the expiration date itself. Maybe also the name of the banner. e.g. "Hi again. Your banner for %BannerName% is expiring on %ExpireDate%."

Thank you. I would just like a simple reminder to be emailed to both me and the banner owner stating that it is about to expire, anywhere between 7 days and a month will be fine for me.:)
p.s. I am on vb 3.8.5

I have been using this plugin for a while now. I love it.
I have one thing that I have not been able to figure out yet.
I want the banners to display in all my forum header but I do not want it to display on my home page or any CMS page headers.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I can't seem to get this add on to display any ads at all. I have set up the code in the header1 ad location  and also tried putting it in the template and no luck I have no ads showing

Always give links when reporting problems like this. And try to leave up at least a test banner until others can look at it.

Also please assure us a test banner - a simple .jpg without any banner code - appears correctly?
