I love this Mod, Great stuff. Except im having second thoughts on one of two forums i have this on. My members arnt to excited about the narrow fixed width. For whatever reasons it seems to be a fantastic hit on the other forum.

Anyways i am having troubles on one of my forums its installed on where it will go thru the rotation then quit rotating once it reaches the last image. Any Ideas?

Hi VonDoom,

That normally points to a syntax issue in the XML file.

Make sure that parameters are within single quotes, not double. All XML tags are closed correctly.

If you still have problems then just PM me, I will take a look for you.

Regards,

I just setup a resolution for 1440x900 on my monitor - it doesn't seem too bad, not that I view websites at this width, I have a 24" 1920 pixel width...lol

I will put together a wider version to fit 1440 pixel width - Flash is funny with changing aspect ratio's which it is not designed for. If text is present then it can blur due to losing the pixel to pixel ratio.

Regards,

great addition !!!!
Is there any way changed the image files jpg with a .swf ?

Thanks

It will accept non-animated gif's, non-progressive jpg's and actionscript 2.0 coded swf's. So, you do have a choice. :)

Can the xml rotator files be edited from our end to add more than 6 rotating images and 4 rotating advertisements?

Would adding new code lines underneath for more images cause any problems..?

You can add or delete images - the choice is entirely yours. I did have an example with 10 images on, I only changed this for the example. Just follow the same format as the rest and you cannot go wrong.

:)

Thats perfect. Now if you tell me I can edit the size in the same way I would be tickled pink.. If only things were that easy..

Some days your the windshield some days your the bug...

I wish resizing flash-based products was easy, it relies on coding and design. I am looking into finding a way of creating a fluid version though.

Regards,

Either Fluid or 1280 wide and you have your self a Donation. The 950 is fine for forums, but when you add it to a CMS with articles and widgets it is sensory overload with all the information jammed up in a small space.

just a question: with your hack our forum goes w/ a fixed lay-out or not?

i got this: Style Manager > StyleVars > doc_width > AUTO but i have a fixed lay-out ... :confused:

I will add another 2 sizes to the original size. With widths of 1280 and 1440 pixels, I have already started the 1280 version.

The problem with fluid, is I can get the swf to either re-scale the image within the background, but if this not scaled in a ratio of x and y then the image is stretched. The other way is to use noScale, but then if the width is changed then the background imaged stays flush to the left, due to the registration point.

Guess I am hitting my head against a brickwall with this! :erm:

this trouble needs to be fixed dude ... :)

however, maybe i found a but, w/ your header i got some troubles with the 'FB tiny avatar' ... i can't get it ... can you check this issue pls?

What is the 'FB tiny avatar'? A mod of some kind?

no, it's integrated in the latest vB ...

I just enabled that on the test and cannot see any issues. What seems to be the problem?

i can't see the FB connect (and after the log-in the tiny avatar) button in the header ...

I have a possible solution for those who want to use it on a fluid forum until the new sizes are released. Change your padding on your header right hand side and it can at least center the header so it does not look "as bad". Not a perfect fix but can help till then.

Need some assistance..
I can see the changes in the local Previewer. But, I can't see the changes on my site.

Hi,

The changes you have made locally to files, have you uploaded these to your webserver.

Regards,

Yes, I uploaded it, It is working now. It took a long time for F5 to work. I had to clear my cache for it to change images.

Is there any way to make the banner rotator display a random add rather than running in the order ? Otherwise some banners will get loads of page views and others will get non !

Great mod though, thanks !

They are ad banners, not Adsense banners, why would views mater? At 7 seconds per banner it takes roughly 28 seconds to see all 4 banner Advertisements. how do you figure some banners will get none?

look at the settings, and change them from true to false

I have several companies that pay to have banners displayed on my site. Every time you load a new page the rotation starts all over again, therefore the ones that come last on the list (I have 14 sponsors) will not get seen unless someone stays on a page for a while.

The banner rotator can cope with randomizing ads. Just open up the XML file for the banner rotator, you will see the following line near the top:
Just change the parameter to 'true' and banners will be shown randomly.

I tried to make it as versatile as possible, apart from the fluid issue which will be fixed tomorrow with a new width size.

Thank you so much,

It is AWESOME! Loving it!

Can you send me your url.. Looks like vBSEO has crept in somewhere in the code.

You're welcome!

:)

I've changed all the files and uploaded folders to the server, made all the changes to the templates and cleared my cache but still nothings happening, works like a dream in the locally but just can't get it working when i try to send it live ?

Looks really nice!!! ook it works:D but is it possible to put te banner more to the right? because my forum is fluid

Gr,

How do i get rid of the blue Concepta logo on the banners ?

Awesome awesome mod ....makes our forum look so so much cleaner and fluid...love it...rated 5 and nominated !!! great work

I will be releasing a wider version a little later today, this will be for wider forum widths.

Make sure that all changes that are done locally, are uploaded to the server. Flash is cached by all browsers, try a Hard Refresh. This will then display the contents of the server and not your cache. A Hard Refresh is done by pressing CTRL + F5.

I've tried all that still can't get it to display, Delilahs has even taken a look, he has it working on his and can't see any reason for it not to be working.

I have several transparent png logos that I rotate at certain times.
One logo in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night.

I varied the colors slightly which requires a different background image to make a seamless header (I am currently using fluid).

Anyways, my question is, will your banner system rotate in the logo and change the background as well?

i.e. I have a blue and red logo...
When the red logo rotates in, will the background be changed to red and visa versa?

The only way you could achieve this is by creating a transparent 2x2 PNG image file for the logo. And placing your actual logo on the background images.

The logo is the only static image that is not changed. The background and banner rotator are the only areas that are animated. They do not run in sync, unless the timing was hard-coded in to the swf, this was the only variable I did not bring out in to the XML was timing. Maybe, on a future release I will consider doing this.

Regards,

As nice as your mod is, as bad and confusing is it to buy it.
Your website is amazingly complicated!

Anyways, bought the paid version.... but it says my URL is wrong and I need to contact you. Your support however says I do not have access to the support.

I really do not want to spend time doing this.....

Hi masons,
Our support system was offline last night due to work being done. It is all back online now.
