same question..

is it possible to manage banners with javascript somehow ?

Sorry for the newbie question, it looks like the 'Master Switch" was describing doing a query and adding the exact text into the query box and running it. Just moved over from phpBB and there is a lot to learn here.

Ignore post below

Is there a little more explicit install documment anywhere, I added the database and hope the settings are correct. However, I am assuming that the 'Master Switch' is in the language global settings? Is this correct, I am new to vBulletin and I don't just like changing code if I am not certain of where it goes, do I just create a new phrase in the global language phrases.

The final phases of phrases I will try to figure out when I get there, but I didn't want to add to the language phrases and have that not be the 'master switch' described in the install. Sorry if this is a boring newbie question, I did do a search to try and find an answer.

Best regards,

P.S. this looks like a great MOD and I have some sponsors waiting in the wings to sponsor a contest and it would be cool to have banners for them.

Is that any way to get an addon that will count the hits? and email a report to the vendors? great hack and keep up the good work!!

Here's a hit tracker i created in about 5 minutes. :) Seems to work fine.

Hits are shown when you view the ad list in the admin-cp.

can u add txt feature to this.
I mean so I can put a txt ad ( no pic no flash) just normal txt???)

Thanks for your work, are very good. I have made some changes, for my taste, for example the one to add two or three banners, but I have a problem, and is that sometimes they repeat banners, like podria solucionarlo. thanks.

this is tested and works?

Tested locally and worked okay.

I'm having the same problem another poster a few pages ago was having. (Laura I think)

I've got it installed, got the banners in properly and enabled, all that good stuff, but they aren't showing up ANYWHERE.

I've done the update as well.

This looks like a wonderful hack and perfect for my needs, if I can get it to show up. Thanks so much for the help.

Can someone fill me in on step 2
2. Master switch
==================================
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'setting_enbanners_title', 'Enable Banners & Ads System', 5000);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'setting_enbanners_desc', 'If this option set to Yes, overal show banners and ads on navbar function will be turned on.', 5000);

INSERT INTO setting (varname, grouptitle, value, defaultvalue, optioncode, displayorder, advanced, volatile) VALUES ('enbanners', 'general', '1', '1', 'yesno', '1000', '0', '0');
=================================

Where do I find this? VB3.07

You insert in into phpmyadmin or similar. :)

hey,

for those who have problems showing the banner on the forum homepage, I figured this out :
in my forum, it was properly showing on every forumpage ( userCP, FAQ, etc.)
but not on the forumhomepage.
what i did was ad the $banner here

from stylemanager :

choose : forum home templates ---> forumhome ( ad the $banner at the very bottom ) and voila . it works ( for me that is ) , try it out

see : http://www.designerschat.com

not really... if you have multiple banner it will update ALL banners

edit gotobanner.php

find:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners SET visits = visits+1");

change to:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners SET visits = visits+1 WHERE adid='$id'");

I still can't get mine to show up ANYWHERE :(

Me either. I did everything exactly per the instructions and the $banner doesn't show up anywhere. Its as if it is being ignored.

Guys, I think I found a glitch in the install.

The template that is created by following the instructions is titled: Banner with a capital 'B', but the code you insert to display the banners is $banner with a small 'b'.

I renamed the 'Banner' template to 'banner' and now it works!

Worked like a charm, thanks :)
Is it possible to have a output page for the sponsers too see?

I made a thing for this that counts the views/clicks. Hope you dont mind. (email comments to rdillon@sprocket.co.nz beacuse I dont come here often)

Well spotted. :)

anyone?

Nope it doesn't. At least it shouldn't.

can you pick the forum you want the ad to appear in?

I am having a hard time getting this to work on a portal page. I believe it is a path issue. I am sure it is an easy edit in the banners.php ....... Has anyone else run into this???

Thanks

this hack vBulletin 3.5.0 Release Candidate 2 workıng?

I believe my issue was caused by the click counter mod... if there is another counter available please pm me...

Thanks

Is there any system out there that will let me do the following?:

I want to have an ad rotator by default for all registered users. If a user is in a certain group, lets say GOLD members, ads will not be displayed. Such as that so if a user subscribes to a premium membership, ads won't be displayed.

I want to use an ad rotated of my own, not within vBulletin (such as phpAdsNew)

Thank you!!

Hey Friends,
I have instaled this hack correctly,
When I save the banner ı cant see any image or any swf file.
In my server there is not any gd version.In your opinion it is a reason.
Or what is the problem for this.Why can ı not see the banner in admin panel and in the forum.

Was wondering if there were plans for this to be ported to new version of vb?

don't work with vbb3.08 :(

Works fine with vb3.0.8

I fellow the like above and it took me to the login page.

i want to be able to put my banners up through the admin cp, is there a hack for vb version 3.0.6 that looks like the banner placement in the link below?

http://www.beyondmass.com/forums

.......

Hello, are you going to be porting this over to work for vB 3.5.0? If so, PLEASE let me know. This setup is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. And no, I don't like phpadsnew if anyone suggests it.

I'll second that I'd like to see it ported for vB3.5.x as I detest phpadsnew

Everytime I am trying acess "banner system manager" or "add new banner"

Anyone know why can It be?

will this work for 3.5.1??

though this click tracker does work, it stops counting at 127 hits for some reason. On both my forums, 1 with 6000 members and 1 with 800, when banners are hit a total of 127, they stop working.

any ideas what would cause this?

otherwise it is flawless and really a super feature.

I was about to post the samething. All mine stop at 127 also :surprised:

and once they peak at 127, they just sit there.. it renders the hack useless actually, which is a real shame.
I hope someone can resolve this issue.
