- - Miscellaneous Hacks - Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod) **UPDATED** (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133954)

Like some of the others, I installed this last night, but only tried loaded images this evening.

I am also getting the error message that is cannot load image/jpeg or image/gif.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Fish

you have to add them to the allowed list, its been covered it in this thread or the 3.7 before.

Yes I have, and I've also added the image/jpeg stuff, and still getting the error message!

I've loaded the newer version and this still doesnt work!

I'm starting to wonder why I am bothering with it.

The permissions are set at 777 on the ./image and .image/banners folders and still no luck.

Hiya :)

Firt off, I should add that i am THE most UNtechy gal in the world, but i would love to have this on my forum. I have a friend that added a 'header' for the new skin, and I'm not sure how to add this and put it beneath the heading of the forum?

Dont laugh please :D I'm truly rubbish.

Reading the posts here its all way over my head, so if someone could tell me in childlike terms I'm forever in your debt.

Thank you in advance

Does this work with 3.7?
I use it as my main banner and I am just about to upgrade to 3.7.
Anyone know?

Hi, great mod, installed!

However I would like to see more option for every banner I add, like should it open in new window or not And stuff like that :)

Can you add links so that the banners will go to pages that you define?

How can I add url on it

x2. anyone try this for 3.7 yet?

Question, I have allowed GIF images on the rotator. So, I do have some that uploaded. However, when trying to load others it doesn't work.

Why would it work for some and not for others? How do I go about fixing this matter?

I can't get it to work with 3.7.1

It works fine with 3.71 but you may want to try the proper version.

Hopefully someone here can help - I'm trying to install the Banner Rotator but I've got a different forum style so I'm not too sure...

I can't find this line of code:

on the Header section of my forum.

My Header section contains a lot more code than the default one:

this is one of them

The selected file type is not allowed. image/gif
the file is a gif and the size is ok
so why is this not accepted ?

if some one could help me with this it would be apriciated

gbox master

You need to add the extension type to Options -> Banner Rotator -> Extensions

Hi. I installed it, and the images are uploaded, but I can't see them in the 'Edit Banners' tab. What's wrong? http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8625/nobannerfd4.jpg

it says: "
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to access /home99a/sub005/sc62064-XBST/www/forum/images/banners/Banner - 001.png in [path]/admincp/banner_rotator.php on line 56"

Also, there're not showing up on my frontpage either. I know it's in the right spot too. Thanks ^_^

To developer

A good idea is to add the ability to display a specific banner to specific forums, or limit a banner to be displayed only in a group of forums.
Also another good idea is to automatically deactivate a banner after a specific amount of views or hits.

i think you meen like this ?
jpeg|jpg|png|bmp|gif|image/jpeg|application/x-shockwave-flash
these settings are standard in the banner rotator when i installed it
as you can see gif is in the list and stil its not accepted
shoot me because i dont understand it
and i reaaly would like it to work because more people are asking me for a banner on my site now

and i really want to add some banners for organisations who do good work
like greenpeace and so on
so if some one feels like helping out you can always contact me:cool:

HTML Code:

#logo {

background: url(enlighten/misc/header_logo.gif);

width: 197px;

height: 102px; 

float: left;

        margin: 0;

        padding: 0; 

}

How would I be able to make the banner rotate with the other banners I made?

I have the same. Any idea??If i put there the code doesnt appear, appears the background.

Code:

/* ***** sets background for header area - No need to change this ***** */

#hdr {

background: #F7632F url(enlighten/misc/header_back.gif) ;

width: 100%;

height: 102px;

        margin: 0;

        padding: 0; 

}

i have a same problem to "gbox_master"
for gif and jpg import

I can not find:

Code:

<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />

Please help!

I installed and this works great!! I followed the installation and I have the GIF to work, I can upload and all the other settings. However, the image I use seems to be centered in some odd setting. The image is not left justified, and there seems to be a larger area that is not a hotlink. I can see that by hovering my mouse from side to side of the image.

Is there another setting that I am missing?
www.metrodubs.com/forums

I changed the following settings in the vBulletin Options section for Banner Rotator;
added “|image/gif”
default height to 85
default width to 575
default Alt to www.metrodubs.com
file size to 50000
default dir (unchanged)

and I added the following to the header;
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">$banner</a></td>

i removed all <center> </center> from the brotator.php file. still no results.

why does it show the banner centered?

Is this a new query or an extension of the old question you asked months ago? Most likely the "template" that has the banner call has center alignment wrapped around it. You should check the header template where you placed the $banner. The call that its embedded in will probably have an center alignment in it.

Working fine with 3.8.1

Thank you!

Wanted to ask this question, I've got this mod installed and it works great! My question is that can I also make this display a different set of banners below my navbar? Can I install the product named something else or something and add the code in the navbar template as well? Let me know! Thanks

Does this work with VB 3.8.3?

Doesn't work for me on 3.8.3. I've tried the given instructions, tried using <center>$banner</center>, tried tweaking the options in the Banner Rotator options, but nothing doing. All I get is nothing where my banner should be.

This hack works for me, but when i click the banner, it simply goes back to the main page of my forum, not to the URL i specified in the banner...

HELP!

thanks
~DJ

It's nice and it will be greater if I can add url to the banner

I really liked this hack, would be nice to see a VB4 version.

I haven't seen anything I like yet in the VB4 mods.

Would it work on Version 3.8.5?

Does this have any kind of basic stats like clicks/impressions?
