Ok i have a small issue i hope someone can help me out on this. Iam running a style on my forum and i cannot locate

To edit. It dosnt seem to be in the header section of the template. The style iam using seems to be using 2 images (One on the left which i can click and one on the right that i cant)
Any advice?

Here's what i have found in my header on my style

and the other image is
Id like these to both rotate randomly with a selected few on refresh, is this possibly with this mod?

Can this be used to simply rotate the header/ logo in the default position as shown on my forum here-

bumpidy bump? ^_^

Does anyone know how i can use separate banners on different themes?

Bump.. surely somebody must know

Hi this code I ma suppose to replace in my header is not there

I got the menu to show up! I had the xml in wrong file!

Just tried this with 3.6.9 and it works just fine.

I've been installing, and all seems nearly good. I've installed into the header but am getting the "target blank" above the banner.. any ideas how i can sort this?

All sorted now.

question: It says that I CAN upload Jpeg images, but when I try to all I am getting is that this: The selected file type is not allowed. image/jpeg

install was easy, but now I get this...

I can't believe I actually can answer a question. :D I know this answer because I had the same problem. You need to go to the setting of Banner rotators and then in the setting for type of extensions allowed you need to add image/jpeg to the list.

make sure you use the separators they request. it looks like a "l" but not.

I hope that helps!!

it is on the list already.

it seems like it's not understanding the file. I try to add a jpg and it says this

wtf is a pjpeg?

I try to add a PNG and it says this

fixed.

Now that's what i call a Perfect Thing...
Thanks for the good mod, But u know, It missing a Tiny small thing, witch is how many clicks the users clicked on the Adv..

Thanks Again

Finally... Easy to install, rotates banners and can assign to each category, simple interface. The rest of the banner mods could learn something from this one.

Installed in vBulletin 3.7.4 PL1 with no issues. The only problem I had was the error: "There was an error while moving your file". Just had to create the brotator subfolder under the vbulletin images folder (images/brotator).

One small note, I noticed that the Vbulletin Logo at the top of my screen is gone now. Is there anyway to have the logo and banner?

How come it isn't working with IE?

I'm using it with IE7 and it works just fine.

Track Banner Usage!

I've read a few posts from people with the same issue that I have. This product would be perfect if you could track which banners are displayed and how often. If you're charging for advertising, this is almost a requirement.
Well, being a programmer myself, I decided to figure out a very simple way to track it. Now, you'll have to query the database manually yourself to get the statistics, if I get adventurous down the road I might add that. But for now, at least the database will track the banners that get displayed and when.

This information is provided AS IS with no warranty or liability at all. Use it at your own risk!

First of all, open a connection to your database (I assume Mysql). Use the following create table statement. If you don't have command line access, you may want to try integrating this create table statement with the product.xml file.

We're going to create a new table to track banners. So issue the following command at the Mysql command prompt:
CREATE TABLE brotatorlog (bid smallint(20) unsigned, name varchar(255), bannerdate TIMESTAMP);

Next, go into the admincp of vbulletin, go to "Plugins & Products" and click on "Plugin Manager"
Click on the link to edit banner rotator. In the plugin PHP code window, scroll all the way to the bottom of the window.

The last statement in this window should be:
$defaultdir . "/" . $ban['name'] . "' alt='" . $ban['alt'] . "' width='".$ban['width']."' height='".$ban['height']."' border='0'>";
}

Don't delete or modify any of the existing code. Insert the following code AFTER the above line.


if (!$ban['bid']) {
}
else
{
$db->query("INSERT INTO brotatorlog (bid, name) VALUES (".$ban['bid'].",'".$ban['name']."')");
}



Display a few banners then go into your mysql database and issue the following query:

select * from brotatorlog;

You should see something like this (excuse the poor formatting):

+------+-----------------------+---------------------+
| bid | name | bannerdate |
+------+-----------------------+---------------------+
| 1 | mybannera.jpg | 2009-01-08 18:14:32 |
| 2 | mybanner1.gif | 2009-01-08 18:16:37 |
+------+-----------------------+---------------------+

using the bid field, you can cross reference it back to the original brotator table with an SQL join query. Remember to periodically purge that table.

Enjoy.

Ernest.:D

will it works with version 3.8

getting an error that I did not get previously

Warning: move_uploaded_file(./images/brotator/FobNationBanner.gif) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/admincp/brotator.php on line 65

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpYuMkT9' to './images/brotator/FobNationBanner.gif' in [path]/admincp/brotator.php on line 65

Any help will be appreciated

hope I am in the right area.

I would be cool if this could let you set a different banner depending on the date...

I'm running it in 3.8 and it it seems to be OK (even with the hack I made to it).

I haven't seen a post from the guy maintaining this mod for a while and he hasn't been online since Aug 2008. Is this mod dead? Because I really like it and would like to see it improved. If the original author doesn't want to maintain it any longer I'd consder taking it over.

You have not mentioned much about your setup. Is it being hosted or is it your own server? Do you have root access? When you created the images/brotator sub directory did you chown it to your webuser (ex: apache)?

Is your PHP install running in SAFE mode? Because that could be the problem as well.
If your system is running selinux, check your audit.log file to see if httpd is being denied write access.

Post some real details about your setup and I'll try to help you out.

Fixed the issue, I have access to the server, its being hosted, now I need to find out hoew to get different images to show instead of the same on

This is a great mod and I've used it for quite a while now. But I do have a question:

I currently have a set of horizontal ad banners setup across the top of the page. We are looking to get a separate set of banners set up on the left-hand side of the page for commissioned sales banners. Is there any way to do a different grouping of banner rotations so that only a certain group of banners can be rotated?

For reference: http://lsxnation.net We are wanting a separate set of banners below COTM.

I have the banner program working, how/where can I change it's location?
Thanks

Now I'm getting an error about image/pjpg??? the file I'm uploading is a .jpg, whay is it telling me pjpg?

Thank you for time

Not only rotation banner but also single/Continous banner anywhere with many other banner?

Thanks and best regards!

i would like to see more than one banner code, like a previous poster, $banner1, $banner2... etc

also, how do we use SWF files???

Add a block like this to your banner manager in vboptions.

I have this already (had it for a while and love it), but I want to be able to use it on my VBAdvanced page. How do I go about putting the code as a module so that it shows up?

I tried copying the

<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>

into the module template, but it's not working. hmm...... any thoughts.
