- - A Simple PHP Banner Rotator? (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=124834)

Thanks Lynne for trying to help... I was actually sent to this thread from my own post that I origionally started here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...47#post1463147

So, if there is anyone who thinks they can help please come post there...

We have this installed on our forums and works without issue, but is there a way of making this so that we do not have to refresh the page for a new banner to appear?

Sorry to say that I'm not really that clued up on PHP and all the internal workings of it.

Thanks

Simple to install. (We like that). I'm assuming that it'll support Flash with the requisite code...?

:up: :up: :up:

I have tried everything to get this to work without success.

I have created a plugin

Hook Location: global_start
Name: Banner Rotator
Execution order: 1

Code

Code:

$random_number = rand(1, 2);



$random_banner[1] = '<a href="http://www.hawkvittles.com/"><img src="http://www.adkhighpeaks.com/banner/banner1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

$random_banner[2] = '<a href="http://adkhighpeaks.com/sentinel/"><img src="http://www.adkhighpeaks.com/banner/banner2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

Right now, I only have 2 (once it works, I'll add more).

I then have added the following code to the bottom of my postbit_legacy templete. It's set within a [if] condition to display it after the first post in each thread.

Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1">



<div style="padding: $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px 0px 0px">



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

        <td class="thead" align="left">Sponsored Links</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="alt1" align="center">

 



$random_banner[$random_number]





        </td>

</tr>

</table>



</div>



</if>

If I replace the $random_banner[$random_number] with a single banner image link, or even adsense javascript code, it works perfect, but when I put in the $random banner call, I get an empty "sponsored link table".

Any help would be appreciated. Oh yeah, I'm running this on an old 3.6.2 version. I haven't tried it on another forum running 3.8. so I don't know if it works there.

Addendum to above post.

I was able to get it to successfully work within the Header template.

It must be a formatting error in my postbit_legacy "sponsored links table. I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Any thoughts here, I still can not figure this out. PLEASE. thanks

Does not work in 3.8.3 or 4

It seems the only place I cannot get it to work is the postbit_legacy template.

Sorry for bumping an old thread. I am looking for similar solution.

For vb3 you need to use it on postbit_start or postbit_complete hooks. It worked for me.

But I am still interested to find out how to make this rotator work for vBulletin 4 here .
Any ideas??

After lots of trial&error testing I finally made it through
