How to fix it, ads is flash banner?

Thanks!

Looks like you haven't inserted the banner into the right template, or you have not specified the correct dimensions - anyway, I'm not a designer and can't reply to design specific questions adeguately.

You have to use this parameter within your <object> code:

<param name="WMode" value="transparent"/>

And then the drop-down menu will be displayed correctly.

Hope it helps.

Nice trick, thanks :)

You're welcome. :)

Yes, if manual ads i can add <param name="WMode" value="transparent"/> but with hack mod this ex: <div align="center"><!--@vbbanners:5@--></div> how to use?

sorry because my english :D

Y2, if I do the update, will your sample banners, over-write my present banner positions?

If so, how would I delete them before update.

Thanks again for a great mod.

Under my eyes. Im so stupid.

Thanks my friend!


GREAT WORK!

Hello.
First Sorry for my english, i am spanish and i not learning english in the school.

My question is.. i need to put more than 2 banners in the header of the forum. Now i have 2 banners when i install the plug, and i like minimun 3 banners in the header. Is posible this?

Thanks

I don't think that would be a problem.

You would either do <!--@vbbanners:0@--><!--@vbbanners:1@--><!--@vbbanners:2@-->

or <!--@vbbanners:0@--><br>
<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br>
<!--@vbbanners:2@--><br>

You might need the surrounding tags, as a <div> or a <table>

ok.. very thanks...

I want to have two different styles that use different sets of rotating banners. Is this possible?

This HTML is only an example. You may use any kind of HTML in your templates.

However, for Flash Banners you must choose between two possibilities:
1. You use the "Text" field and paste there the complete banner code, thus including all the <object> and <embed> code, which is then inserted at the <div align="center"><!--@vbbanners:5@--></div>, such as <div align="center"><object ...></div>.
2. You use the Flash wrapper which takes care of inserting the correct code, and as far as I know, handles also correctly the menu issue.

The sample banners are installed only at the moment you install this product first. No banners are touched when updating. However, it is always a good idea to keep a backup somewhere :)

It's even easier:

<!--@vbbanners:0@--><!--@vbbanners:0@--><!--@vbbanners:0@-->

This way, you have 3 or more banners in position 0, they rotate along with other banners in a single page.

You would use the different positions only where you have different banner types and must have a distinct placement.

Yes. In this case you make use of banner positions, where for example in Style 1 you store banners in position 0 and in Style 2 position 1.

Is it possible to have a few banners in the place on the picture i attached ?

And i couldn't find where to set the time for the different banners.
Is that even possible ?

I don't have it installed yet but am reading up on it before i uninstall the other mod i am using.
This mod looks more powerful.

1. Yes, but it needs a style modification, because the original header contains room for two small banners side by side, as far as I recall.
2. Each banner can be setup with a starting and ending date, as a matter of facts, they must. By default, a new banner is shown for one year.
3. I believe it is pretty powerful, but it is not up to me to proof this statement :)

Hi Y2 thanks for the answers.

What i ment with the time for each banners is the amount of seconds.
I only have animated gif files and some are 10 seconds and others are longer.

Thanks again.

Thanks very much for your reply :D i will test in my site :)

Ah right ... I got it. There is no such field, a banner is shown for the life time of the page. I have been asked several times to add the feature of rotating banners in place while the page is loaded.

Workaround: Eventually you may create a HTML page, which you insert as an IFRAME in your banner space. That HTML may refresh every so time, and would then load a new banner (if there is any). This HTML is already available and has been mentioned a few posts ago. All it needs is to make it work for your specific use, adding e meta tag with the desired refresh period :)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=951

Here, as an unofficial addon, you get the autorefreshing page (tested). It needs:

- a text editor;
- a refresh time of your choice (see metatag refresh in file, now at 10 seconds);
- a banner location (see placeholder in file, now at position 0);
- at least a banner for that location;
- a global target of a new page aka _blank (RBS options), else you jump into the iframe;
- a template modification for a 468x60 banner:
Please note: with smaller banners you get white borders, with larger than the iframe area, they are clipped.

Thank you.

I will install the mod tonight together with the unofficial addon.
I hope i get it working the first time :)

Doesn't seem to work on 4.0.8 :-
All files have been uploaded !?

If anyone else is wondering how to do this and if what you are trying to achieve is shown in this image.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/11/5.jpg

This is what I did to make it look like this.

1. Log in to your admin panel.

2. Click on styles and templates.

3. Click on style manager.

4. Select the template you wish to modify and from the drop down box on the right select Edit Templates.

5. Double click on Ad Location Templates so that this menu expands.

6. Scroll down till you see ad_header_end and double click on it.

7. In the empty big box enter in the following.

Of course changing <!--@vbbanners:0@--> to what ever banner number you want to display in this area.

For example if you want to display Position 2 banners in this area change the 0 to a 2 so that it looks like this.

<!--@vbbanners:2@-->

Oh yes and if you are not using a large forum logo like we are. You may have to switch where it says <div align="center"> in the code above to say <div align="right"> .


Anyway hope this helps others who would like to place their banners in this area.

:D

How do we get the images to rotate each time the page is refreshed? I have added 3 images but only one ever shows up.

Oh, problem solved, for some reson the starting dates of the other banners were later in the day.

There's no ad_header_end. I've 4.0.8pl2 and these are the templates

Hi Andreamarucci,

I have just tested the code in the ad_global_header1 and it seems to work exactly the same as if it was placed in the ad_header_end

I haven't upgraded our forum to version 4.0.8 pl2 yet. So I guess this is where I will need to place this code when I do :).

Tried and it works in the header1 or header2 position...

Another question. Is it possible to rotate the banner based on time? I've seen that the banner change when you change page. It's not possible to make it change every x seconds?

I read it was possible in one of the replies in one of the previous pages. But I cannot remember which page I read it on now.

It has something to do with using the meta refresh tag.

Probably your best bet is to start from page 1 and read all the pages. As I am sure I read about this on one of the previous pages. Plus if my memory serves me right someone is kind enough to provide a working example on how you can achieve this.

Please, replace output url "&" with "&amp;" in the next relase for a valid urls. Good work, thanks.
