If it doesn't work I will happily install it for you, I've already done it for several people, just pm me with your admin login details, ftp & mysql, apart from that with out a proper description of what you are doing and what is not happening there's not a lot I can do.

is by any chance some one tested this hack on 3.0.3?

I was looking for something like this.

Yes... it works fine on 3.03

Could this be modified so you can upload the banners from your computer to the appropriate directory instead of using ftp.

You mean by selecting it from a browse box in the AdminCP or to use a separate upload script?

Either way the answer would be yes but then you would still have to delete them using ftp, but I don't have the time to make the changes I'm busy working on other projects, and there wouldn't be much of a gain in doing it, but if someone wants to try they are more than welcome.

I mean by selecting it from a browse box.

If it's ok with you can i made changes to your hack to allow this.

After i'm done shall i post it here, or pm you with it to make sure it's acceptable.

Feel free to do it, I have been going to do a similar thing to another hack I have done but just haven't had the time

(or anyone that can answer this:

How do I link these to a website?

$banner_array = array(
'images/banner1.jpg',
'images/banner2.jpg',
'images/banner3.jpg'

1. Go to whichever style you want banner rotated. (Style Manager > Style Name > All Style Options)

2. In The phpinclude_start box insert this

PHP Code:


		
			
// Foreach banner you want to rotate insert a a line such as:

// 'images/bannerx.gif',

$banner_array = array(

  'images/banner1.jpg',

  'images/banner2.jpg',

  'images/banner3.jpg'

);

$banner = $banner_array[mt_rand(0,count($banner_array)-1)];

3. In the header template replace the section that deals with the img tag with something like this

HTML Code:

<img src="$banner" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" usemap="#Map" />

Basically you're just changing the the src to the $banner variable... very easy requires no special html or javascript or any of that stuff..

1.4 No senseless "Bumping": Please do not bump your request/help searching or other threads several times a day. Remember there are people who don't browse this board every hour. So do not bump a thread within 24h or too much even after 24 hours.

PHP Code:


		
			
$banners = array (

        "banner1.gif|redirect1.pl|alt text 1|0|468|60",

        "banner2.gif|redirect2.pl|alt text 2|0|468|60"

);

$banner = $banners[mt_rand(0,sizeof($banners) - 1)];

list($imgsrc,$myurl,$alttext,$border,$width,$height) = explode ('|',$banner);

This code is what is used on a normal website. You'll have to use something different for vB, I expect. Haven't looked at the rest of the thread.

Code:

echo("<A HREF=\"http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/$myurl\" TARGET = \"_blank\"><IMG src=\"http://www.yoursite.com/banners/$imgsrc?" . mt_rand(1,999) . "\" border=\"$border\" width=\"$width\" height = \"$height\" alt=\"$alttext\"></A>");

Clicking the banners fires the perl script in your cgi-bin folder. This is so you can run reports on your activity log file to count the number of times each perl script has been opened. This is the number of clicks of each banner.

Hope this helps.

does it work on 3.0.3?

<!--- End Rotaing Banner --->

this code is for the 3 banner version

There is a miscoding in the SHOWTHREAD code to display the rotating banners. I used the original code from the Installation Instructions in the SHOWTHREAD template coding.

Thanks, I've had a couple of others with the same problem but wasn't sure what caused it

Hmmmmm...am I missing something, because in the original instructions the template mod was in the "ForumDisplay" template, not the "SHOWTHREAD" template. I tried replacing the code in the "ForumDisplay" with the code included above, and the banners stopped working. Any ideas?

I directly replaced the code in FORUMDISPLAY with the code listed above, and the banners no longer display. What am I missing here??

I just install this hack! I love it, thanks Beermonster!

But, how can I make rotating banners display at forumhome? Can any one or Beermonster show me how to? thanks for advance

Just installed this hack as well.. Works GREAT!!! THANKYOU!

However, I am also wondering how to get this hack to work on the forum home page as well?!?!

Thanks in advance!

-Curtis

so does this hack only allow for three (3) total banners for the entire board or just three for each forum assigned?

sorry? :rolleyes:

wondering if you can set more than three banners for the board or if it only allows you to use three total.

You can have different banners for each forum you have and If you check some of the previous posts you will see I have added one for 10 banners :)

ok thank you for your help beermonster i apologize for having missed that post. thanks again for the hack and i look forward to installing. thanks again

Can someone help me and tell me what I am doing wrong.

http://www.d-series.org/forums/index.php?

The banner links aren't working correctly, and on my main forum home I can't get it centered. Please be specific with what files I need to edit if you can.. I would really appreciate some help on this. :)

Thanks a ton!!

feel free to click install ;)

*clicked*. ;)

I don't understand why your link works and mine doesn't?!?!? Can I get it to work right normally, everytime users visit the forum? Thanks again!

I didn't do anything special, just clicked on a forum

I love this hack, it's so effective and unobtrusive.

Just one question - how do I put this on the index page? I've tried copying the code from the showthread template, but it doesn't work .... I pasted it in the bottom half of the navbar template so it would be universal then, to save me going through every single forum and adding them manually, which would take a while!!

Any help would be great.

Thanks for a cracking hack!

Jason

Hi Beermonster,

Nice little hack, looks cool :)

I would like something like this on forumhome too, any idea how to this? Also is there a possibilty of getting the sponsored by text like your other hack (which I have installed :) ) added to this one.

Thanks for sharing!
