wow very nice and useful hack, keep it up!

Thanks for your kind words, i have been getting heaps of great feedback on this one :) I used to use phpadsnew, fantastic software but was sort of confusing and took me ages to add a new banner and I couldnt put up with it anymore.
Its a shame that they are not doing "hack of the month" at the moment :(

Don't forget to click on INSTALL

Wow, another excellent hack!! Actually I've been interested in something like this for a long time.

Everything installed perfectly too.

Thanks Trafix for yet another wonderful hack! I must say your choice of projects has been excellent.

Take it easy,

Ricoche

Great addition ;) Clicks install

When you add a banner on forum id, i see that the banner shows up in each forum but with just the 'Please support our sponsors' text. How you make it so this banner will only show up in the forum that is specified?

--oops-- i've found it. Just don't add it to the bannerbank. :)

--edit-- problem solved. I shall now reply after counting to 10 :p

hello,

Does this work only for banner ??

Can I also run HTML ads using this hack ??

Thanks

ummm, at the moment it only displays images of any size...

could you come up with a addon for handling HTML ads also ??

Thanks much

I have had the worst expierence I have ever had installing a hack with yours. For the first time I forgot to back things up and now my whole site has been down for about 15 hours. For my users, thats terrible.

I cant figure out how to fix this error in my mysql.

Database error in vBulletin 2.3.0:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM ads WHERE pagename='index.php'
mysql error: Unknown column 'pagename' in 'where clause'

mysql error number: 1054

I even tried upgrading to vbulletin2.3.0 from 2.2.9 to try and see if it would work. But to my luck it didnt. I have no clue what to do, im not sure why the script is going to wrxyz.com/forums/forums/ Thats not even a directory. Please help me.

Trafix or anyone if you have aim please im me at: x1nsaneity . I am having the worst time right now, my marketing ad companies are emailing me asking where the site is, and I dont know what to say.

Have you run the qury from the admin folder,
This performs database changes required by the addow hack

sorry i dont have aim

Yeah I did, but I was already karatekids hack and had banners and an ads in my db. So I dropped the existing one to add yours, and then thats when all the problems started.

trafix, is there anyone I can contact without vb.org?? I really need some help

................................................no thing......................... .............. bump

Although it's based on karate kids hack, all the coding and data base tables are different. Try dropping the banner tables again and make sure that karate kids has been dropped as well. I am really not sure what else to suggest. Try this and see how it goes. Just double check the coding has been added correctly to the files and templates.

Trafix.

Installed and so far so good.

Can I have 2 diff banners rotating in one forum?

Thank you!

As you add banners, to make them rotate within "unsponsored" forums, you must add them to the banner bank.
If you are wanting "2" sponsored banners to rotate in one forum, no, it's not set up for that. Just the one banner will be displayed for sponsored areas.
Regards
Trafix.

Arg!

Too bad. This is a great hack but I think that to make it the ultimate hack, single forum banner rotation is needed.

Since this hack can already rotate random banners throughout the whole site, it cannot be too hard to set it up to rotate selected banners in selected forums.

hmmm....your right, it should be easy...let me put it together (soon)

dunno if it matters much but:

in template modifiy in your instructions, you have:

PHP Code:


		
			
**********************************

OPEN Forum Home Page Templates: forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

**********************************



------------------

Find

------------------



<normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>

REPLACE with

<normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a><br><smallfont> $showsponsorforumbit</smallfont>



**********************************

OPEN Forum Home Page Templates: forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

**********************************

this code:

]</normalfont></a> <smallfont> $showsponsorforumbit</smallfont>

has a spacr in:

<smallfont> $showsponsorforumbit

should be: <smallfont>$showsponsorforumbit

how do i take that extra space out of the forum again? I 4got lol

im having a problem with the rotation of the banners...

its like...only showing 1 banner instead of going threw the list...even when i click refresh...

any ideas?

Read back a page.

Only one banner will show in a selected forum unless you place them in the banner bank, but then they will randomly rotate in random "unsponsored" forums.

yea i got them all in teh banner bank, but only like 1 is showing out of 5 or 6

Oh, nm, then. Sorry. Can't help ya here. ;)

everything worked liked a charm except this problem see attchament.

well i dont know which template to edit to fix it so if you could please tell me where to look and what to fix in order to get the margins right i will really appricate it.

By the way that is one excellent hack. very good job trafix. keep it up :D :D :D

Is it possible to show two different banners simultaneous with this hack?

ummm, probibly yes would require some further modification. Are you looking for another banner in the footer???? obviously spocered forums and files would have to be the same banner. I will look into it for you, it shouldnt be too dificult though

I was looking in having 2 banners in the header

thanks a million

Trafix,

I got it installed, and it is working great. I'm not running the 'Sponsored By' link in the main index, for fear of mass query buildup.

However, the ads only appear to be showing up in my Forumhome...nowhere else. I have $showthisad2 in my header, and $showthisad in the appropriate places. I'd like all ads that are in my bannerbank to rotate throughout my entire forum, am I going about it the right way?

http://www.speedstreet.org/forums

Ok the banner is showing on all pages except the forums. I checked your search, who online page etc and the banner is there but not in the forums.....ummmm you said that you feft out coding to avoid excess quiries.. this is your problem as the templates are there in the forums its just not showing the banner.. I suggest that you replace the code to the forumdisplay.php and showthread.php. Please see earlier posts (maybe first page) I made a suggestion to USODJA on what to remove to avoid the quiries.

Right-o.

I do in fact have the code for showthread and forumdisplay added...I only removed said code for index.php.

I'll check again, to be sure, but I am pretty sure it is there.

Does $showthisad overide $showthisad2?

got a problem pal....

I noticed today that Guest users can see the userreport.php threw the site, and can reset all the stats on each banner.

That is no good dude and needs to be fixed. I removed the 0 from the User Group, and it puts it right back in.

thanks Da_GoTTi,

Bug fixed, see first post

noticed another problem....

when a sponsor is placed on a forum...the forum is accessed, the banner displays in the forum...

now the problem:

it doesnt hold in the threads! it shows the random banners in the threads inside the sponsored forum. It should have the sponsored forum inside the threads where the forum is placed right?

I have had a surf around my site and noticed that when you click on the "goto last post" go button on the forum list, the banner does not show when you get there......

The ulr link os correct when i look at the source code of the forum home, here is an example of complete source code from http://www.atmyparty.com/network/for...php?forumid=20

The code in blue is the thread title and contains the forumid no. and displays the sponsorship banner at the top when clicked on.

However the red code is the lastpost title / go button link and also contains the forumid no. BUT when clicked on the forumis part of the link is not in the ulr address when the page is displayed ........ Something somewhere is stripping it thus a random banner is displayed instead of the sponsorship banner.

I cant find where this stripping is taking place or why .... can anyone assist?

Other reasons for the sponsorship banner not being displayed would be due to the links in the templates

Suggestion:

Do a template search for

Quote:

threadid=$thread

and make sure that

Quote:

&forumid=$forumid

has been included in the link.
you might have to use

Quote:

&forumid=$XXX[forumid]

Depending on the template and the db variables ...i am currently going through me site to fix the bugs and will update file then they are ironed out.

All input is welcome!

How do i get the Banners to be displayed at random on the pages?

I have them added to the banner bank, but it only displayes one of the banners no matter how many times i visit the page?

Any suggestions

Cheers

Paul ... the banners currently showing at the top of pages are not produces by arrow ads .... remove your current banners to start with.

add the $showthisadd and $showthisadd2 as instructed in the directions ....

this should fix your problem

PS i love the pig
