7 days before expiration ... as far as I recall ;)

I cant see any number options to position the banner....there are no numbers in the dropdown box. I wonder if there is a tie-in there as I cannot get any of the banners to display.

I am using the current version of Vbulletin suite.

Any help appreciated

Could you please show us what you see? (Snapshot)

Screenshot attached

Ok, looks like you have changed the options in order to remove all possible choices :)

Please make sure to have this setting (Rotating Banner System Options):

thanks a lot for sharing a gr8 mod, really in need of this.......

I dont remeber doing that actually, the problem is I cant see the position choices as per your screenshot anywhere. I have up loaded another image of my options page.

Thanks Pete

This image shows an old version of the banner system. Could you please take the latest version?

If you already have the latest version, something got mixed up (e.g. old product XML on new files). In this case, please make sure to install or upgrade the product with its proper product-rbs.xml ... maybe reuploading the files and reinstalling the product isn't a bad idea :)

...and don't forget to check "Allow Overwrite" when importing the new xml.

hi...

i already installed RBS and working well..

one question: is it possible to have this mod to run from outsite vbulletin templete file? let say i have one "test.html" file, how to call the "@vbbanners:4@" ? the test.html file is inside the folder with vbulletin core file.

please help..

thanks alot

Please see post 989 of this thread :)

How hard would it be to allow the banners to rotate in place? For instance, if I have two banners in position 3, could you have one display for x amount of seconds, then rotate to the second one?

I used to use an old Javascript banner rotater for this but the code is outdated and I've never found another mod that does anything similar. It'd be nice if I could find a mod that would let the banners load based on a time interval, rather than on page load.

With 4.18 it stop works !

Some reason ?

doesnt work well with my 4.1.8..
any idea?

Anything we can do to make it work with 4.1.8?

Template changes maybe?

There is no reason why it should not work with 4.1.8 ... I'll see this tomorrow morning when I upgrade ;)

It looks like they added back a few ad locations in 418.

Ciao caro, io ho semplicemente agg.to da 4.1.7 a 4.1.8 e ha smesso di funzionare, non ho toccato altro. Grazie per il tuo impegno, questo prodotto ? veramente eccezionale.

No modification to template, only upgrade from 4.1.7 to 4.1.8

The product continues to work with 4.1.8 (please see: http://www.vbulletin.it/).

The only reason why banners disappear may have their reason because:
1. You reverted the templates where you had banner replacements or you have upgraded your styles.
2. Templates or ad locations have disappeared.
3. You have disabled all plugins from config.php (DISABLEHOOK) and/or the options and forgot to reenable them.
4. You have deleted all files before upgrading, instead of overwriting existing files with your FTP client. This practice ensures you have fresh files, but will break all products which have additional files.

In all these cases there is nothing I can do about it :)

thank you very2 much :)

Hi can anyone help ?

I'm running 4.1.8 and have the banners displaying no problems, my issues arise when a banner is clicked, instead of taking a user to the page of the add it just reloads the forum page again ?

I've tried everything I can think of with no luck !

Thanks in advance

Probably the URL (landing page) points to your forums instead anywhere else.

No they defiantly point to the correct pages, I have this mod running no problems on my other forum, just cant seem to get it to work on the new one.

www.potters-online.co.uk

I only see one banner there but it's working properly for me in FF.

edit: I too see the sendmessage.php banner. That's probably a Really Bad Idea as it forces a potential client to join the forum before they can email you. I'd just make it link to a "contact us" page.

Same for me, but 2 banners, one pointing to sendmessage.php (Advertise here) and another pointing to Ocean Wonder or somethin alike. Both working perfectly well.

Both banners working fine for me too.

I've changed the banner system for the time being, it wasn't working for some of the other users either so until i can figure it out ive disabled it on that forum.

Still have it working well on the other though :)

nice add on - is there a way to add more than 9 positions?

btw: you don't have to edit the ad templates manually.

it is closing the upper side on header 1 and header 2..How can i fix this ?

What does a star mean at the starting of a banner in the Banner list?

Yes, in the options. However, changing the default 10 positions voids the Quality Seal and you are entirely on your own with the Big Bang Theory. Normally you will be more than best served with just 2 locations, since you may (and should) reuse a single location one or more times in the same page ;)

And btw: you have to edit all templates manually. There is no such banner injection as in other products.

Yeah, once again a style question :)

For fixed 998px styles I use for header2, in additional.css:
and in header2:

Honestly? No idea. Probably you have that asterisk in your banner title.

No. I have not. That was the first thing I've checked. This is one banner that I renewed a few days before expiring... but even it is listed in the active ones, it seems not to be showing (the counter does not rise).

Tante gratzie

y2ksw, is there any possibility of implementing a reminder in this? For example, my banner advertisers pay for 1 year of advertising, it would be really cool if say 1 month before the banner expires it sends out a reminder to an email address informing them that their banner is due to expire in 1 months time. Just like the Expired Banner notiifcation currently works, but 1 month in advance. Thanks. :)

I'm not 100% sure but I think that means a banner has expired and has been disabled. You need to go into the banner properties and put a tick in the 'Enabled' box and then a tick in the 'reset notifications' box, also change the dates so that it's not expired, then save the banner and the asterisk will be gone and your banner will display again.

The box for the email addresses is the one. One week before the banner expires, a mail is sent to all recipients in that box.

EDIT: You my change the task accordingly. However, double sending is not supported and never will.

Well, one day I'll look into that piece of code again. Maybe it has to do with the mailing feature ...
