Hi,

I REALLY want to get this working but...

I installed the xml and if I do nothing else but turn the hack on, my navbar menu lists vertically instead of accross the page.

I'm using webchat style and I think it uses tables for the header, could that be the problem? I'm also using vbadvanced cpms, could that be the prob?

To clarify, I don't appear to have a navbar template, the navbar stuff appears in the header template in a table (as far as I can tell). If I turn the mod on, the navbar stuff lists vertically and breaks the page. I have not got as far as editing the template with the 'optional' bits above. I thought if I turned the mod on it with no banners it would just appear to do nothing.

Before I go into more detail, can anyone offer assistance?

TIA

Hi,

This looks like something ive been after for ages! Is it possible using this mod to have two random banners next to each other in the footer? - Like in the pic below

I have tried to insert it like this on the FORUMHOME & FORUMDISPLAY templates...

Nothing happens. Is that incorrect? I am new to this.

Hello,
i have tried to insert on the footer template. But nothing happens.

i installed this and it works great except it puts the banners above everything on my forum.

I actually want it below in the red area to the right of my logo. This possible?

TeknoSounds 11-18-2007 09:16 PM

works great! tho...
I've placed the cyb variable in the header template of both my styles, however there is a text "y" showing up during rotations, or the "y" will show up all the time whenever there is no banner within the management screen. Its best seen on my dark style. I've checked the database and theres nothing else in there but the 3 banners I've added. Please see the attached image. Thanks!

TeknoSounds 11-18-2007 09:22 PM

Update:
I'd had the cyb variable in my header and footer. After installation the header showed up, with the random "y" issue showing up, but the banner in the footer wasn't showing at all.
After removing the variable in the header the footer banner showed up, and no longer appears to have the "y" showing up randomly.

TeknoSounds, Can you provide me a link to your working site which you install this hack?
Thanks.

gotlinks 11-20-2007 05:30 PM

When I install the mod, under quicklinks in the navbar it just says:

Quote:

$vbphrase[cybfibr_manage]
And links to: http://www.bzimage.org/"http://www.bzimage.org/misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=cybbannman\"

totally messed up... But if I go to: http://www.bzimage.org/misc.php?do=cybbannman

it works great so i will just replace your navbar code with the correct link ;)

http://teknosounds.com

its the top banner. I'm still using the RedTyger's Banner for the the bottom banner, its set on random. The Cyb banner doesn't do the refresh thing if you're not on Random I've found. So I've left that on continuous. You'll see the banners change every ~10sec. (once again, the top banner)

Love the stats feature :) Tho would like to see a views counter as well. And a fix to the refresh issue on the random banner feature. (to prevent the page from jumping every refresh)

Check the options to make sure the hack is on, and turn off the automatic insert into the header option.

I placed my variable at the top of my footer template...very first line. Shows up under the jump box now.

nyunyu 11-22-2007 02:23 PM

Nice. I think I will reserved this hack until I figure out which ads company does banner advertising. lol...Havent got much members just yet.

I've indicated the full image path in the Quick Links>Manage Banners>Banner and it works both in my vbadvanced cmps and forum header.

siliconfinance 12-16-2007 02:03 PM

Is this a resource intensive mod? How much have you seen server loads increase if any at all? I run 0penads and am looking for another solution.

One simple query on page load.

njoker555 12-16-2007 06:22 PM

is there a way to have like 2 sets of rotating banners? Like I want to put a set of 468x60 on the top and etc.. and then on the right side like a 120x600 banner to rotate - any way to do that? or am I just stuck with one rotation unit

and i am also having trouble adding the link in quick links with $insert_cybfibr - but it works only in the default style, everwhere else its a bit messed up - also do you know how I can put the code into a module of vbadvanced?

help appreciated

njoker555 12-22-2007 01:20 AM

PigsOnTheWing 01-08-2008 09:01 PM

Does this work with 3.7.0 Beta 3? Might we see an update that integrates with 3.7.0's Ad Location Templates -- placing the rotating banner in any of its 9 locations (ad_navbar_below, ad_forumdisplay_afterthreads, ad_showthread_firstpost, etc.)?

inciarco 01-08-2008 10:19 PM

Cybernetec, would be Great to Add a Confirmation Dialog Box before Deleting a Banner!! :confused:

Imagine Trying to Disable 10 Banners and Selectiong the Delete Option without Confirmation!! :rolleyes: It happened to me but with 3 Banners that I Restored later!! :erm:

I Hope You Can Include that Feature on the Next Update of this Great Mod!! ;)

My Best Regards!! :up:

:)

tamiyausa 01-11-2008 02:24 PM

I'm a bit frustrated, great mod but I can only get it to display in default location (top right)

I have added $cyb_flashimagebanners everywhere and nothing? Please help

Ohiosweetheart 01-14-2008 03:42 AM

I have installed this mod but cannot get the link to manage the banners to show up in the Quicklinks menu, so I've not been able to add any banners!

Help! :(

I have fixed my problem above, but your link should have been automatic, mine was. Are you sure you are a "Super Admin"? you might want to check your config file for VB as you will not be able to admin this and others without being a super admin


Let us know

JasonP007 01-26-2008 05:21 PM

Everything is loaded an ready to go, however...

As stupid as this may seem, I simply can't figure out what I am supposed to put in the "Banner" box where it says "cyb_banners/"

I have several .swf banners loaded to my computer and server, please advise. Thanks - jason

Valter 01-27-2008 08:05 AM

Location of image/swf file.

JasonP007 01-28-2008 01:27 AM

from the server or from my computer??? do i leave your 'cyb_banners/' and then place what from where after...??? thx for helping...

TeknoSounds 01-28-2008 02:18 AM

Cybernetic, this is a great mod :) In fact I was wondering if there was a way I could place it into another webpage i have thats not tied to/complete seperate from vbulletin.

So my question is what all do I need to include/require in my php page to be able to just put the banner variable in there for the banners to show up?

Cyb...? anyone...?

christicehurst 02-05-2008 09:48 AM

I installed it but can't see the banner anywhere...

zeus_r6 02-25-2008 08:39 PM

When I try the quicklinks menu, it shows this:
(which is a broken link)

mariocaz 02-25-2008 08:57 PM

Wow excellent mod, really one of the best banners mod that I installed, thank you so much.

thumbs up!!

zeus_r6 02-26-2008 02:20 AM

I've just read through all 13 pages of this mod's thread and not once do I see Cybernetec respond to the onslaught of questions pertaining to the screen flickering or jumping issue. I'm having this problem and would like to see an answer here, as would all the others who keep asking for the answer....

zeus_r6 02-26-2008 03:50 PM

Seriously, can you please support your mod and bring an answer to the table?

zeus_r6 02-27-2008 06:11 PM

Uninstalled. No support to be received for this mod obviously.

BackSideSA 02-28-2008 04:24 PM

Patience is great in most cases, but have you taken the time to read through every page of this thread? The question was asked multiple times, and ignored multiple times...

Oh and the world has to stop for you ay...

Well I do see great support for this Mod the problem mainly is with the installer not the Coder..

How many Coders do you know that actually offer to logg into your site to fix your issues..Humm.
Waiting a few weeks for an answer is normal you have only waited what three days,..Man you have issues..:mad:

NukeOZ 03-19-2008 02:50 AM

I see we have a few members having a little difficulty with the loading of this great Mod..
First of all I need to say that the following worked for me on my site. If you follow step by step it should work for you too..:)

Good luck..

Step 1: Download the Zip. Unzip to a New folder and call it "FTP upload" or what ever folder name you like.....Now that wasn't too hard....:)

Step 2: As per instructions in the read me file..

Installation:
1. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
2. OPTIONAL: Open desired template and add "$cyb_flashimagebanners" where you wish banners to appear
3. OPTIONAL (if link to manage banners page is not shown in Quick links menu):
Open navbar template and add "$insert_cybfibr" after "$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>"


2. OPTIONAL: Open desired template and add "$cyb_flashimagebanners" where you wish banners to appear

I put this in my navbar template so that it shows just above my log in info....See here http://fdgamers.net.au/forum/gamers.php
Then Click on Forums..

Now this is where you can make it all go wrong....

3. OPTIONAL (if link to manage banners page is not shown in Quick links menu):
Open navbar template and add "$insert_cybfibr" after "$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>"


Some templates don't have a button in the navbar called "Quick Links"..Instead it might be "MENU"...
First check if Manage Banners is present in the "menu" If it is then DON'T DO OPTION 3..............Keeping up....:)

So Now to Super Admin and what this means..

As per instructions in the read me file it states...Only SuperAdmins can access Banner Management page....

Before we go any further we need to be sure that you are set as a super admin in the config.php file....

You will need an FTP client of your choice and the log in details to access your server.

The config.php file is generally found in the following directory -- public.html ---then--- forum ---then--- includes ----
upload config.php to your FTP upload folder on your PC..Open it in Note Pad.....scroll down until you find the line super admins..

As in example.
// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '5';


Jump back into ADMINCP on your site and find your username...The ID is what number you are....Put this number where I have the number "5"above..in between the ' '

Now save this..( Save only )

Go back to your FTP and upload the config.php back to its origin...as above..it will ask you for an over write just click yes..

Now you have been set as a super admin....

To set options:
Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Cyb - Flash-Image Banner Rotator


In this area you will be able to set quite a few variables..Just have a play you shouldn't break anything here..:)

Last but not least we need somewhere to put our banners or images....

Back to FTP....(Short for File transfer protocol...)
In your forums root..(again this should be either public.html..or public.html/forums/)
I need you to create a directory...To do this you need to see all the directory's or folders in the FTP on the remote side..(Found on the right panel..)

Right click anywhere in the remote window....Create a directory and call it cyb_banners ...

Still awake.....:)

As long as we haven't missed anything you should be ready to jump in and load a few banners...So lets do it....For this exercise we will call it image1.jpg

Log into your www.yoursite.com.au ( your home page ) ( I'm sure you weren't about to log into a page called your site now were you.) .:)

Go to Quick links or MENU then Manage Banners....

You now should see a page where you can manage your banners...

Nearly finished....:p

This part can be a little confusing....:confused:

Under "TYPE"
You have a choice of either Image or Flash..For this exercise we will be using Image...

Next Is "Site Title"
Basically a description of you banner...

Next is "Clicks"
Information of how many times its been clicked on....

Now "Site URL"
This is for where the banner will take you..(The Banners web site not yours..)

Next is "Banner"
In the greyed out area you should see "cyb_banners/" if you dont then turn on your monitor..:)
Back to the grind...
Remember that folder you created in FTP.....??Called cyb_banners
and you uploaded an image called image1.jpg to cyb_banners folder..
Put image1.jpg after cyb_banners/..Should look like this...............cyb_banners/image1.jpg
If you have multiple banners then name them for example image1.jpg ...image2.jpg..and so on..

The "duration" is seconds that it will show on your site...

Display order is what it is....

Make sure Active is ticked then click on "GO"

Wola...You have done it......Pat your self on the back and go make a coffee....:)

As long as you have placed the code $cyb_flashimagebanners in your template some where then you should see the banner...
For additional banners just repeat the steps As above...

Good luck and thank you Cybernetec for your great work.....I hope this helps....:)
