OK thank you. I don't have the CMS, just the bulletin board :). Maybe I can use the regular VBulletin spot for that one?

Yes of course :)

The vBulletin ad_* templates work best for RBS placeholders.

Can I use this add-on for a rotating header (itself) of the forums?
I don't have any ads at the moment but I'm looking for a rotating header banners every refresh. :)

With some restrictions it may work with headers, but I can't tell, because I never tried. If you have your styles in files, probably it will not work, because they are plugged together from the client's browsers. However, try and let us know :)

I cannot get this to work... 4.0.7, Maybe it's me.

No offense to the work the developer put into this mod, but there should be an easier way to rotate banners, and it shouldn't be restricted to only 10 banners.

It's not restricted to 10 banners. It's restricted to 10 different banner sizes/shapes.

Once you define the type of banner, you can have as many separate banners of that size and shape rotating within a single placeholder. Then you still have 9 other placeholders to use.

I have 50 forum ids in my forum. I want to put different banners in each forum, so I think I need 50 different banner locations, didn?t I?

In each forum for example 6 banners, with the same banner code, but one banner code for each forum id, because in forum Id=1 it will be 6 banners showing (and 15 banner possibilities for example in that banner code), but in forum id=2 it will be other 6 banners (of 12 possibilities for example, but different than the 15 previous ones, so i?ll nedd other banner code),... and all the same for the 50 forum ids.

apart of this i`ll need other

So I need for example 50 banner locations for the forums, and about 10 more locations (for photo gallery, news peage cms, downloads, ...). So i?ll like about 75 different locations if it?s possible, or the way to add myself the number of locations I want.

Any help or suggestion would be apreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, I missed this question :)

In the banner options, you may select for each banner where (forum section) to show up, thus you can use one and the same placeholder to fill all 50 or more forum sections without any collision problem.

You don't have to worry about banner id's either. If you have for "forum 1" about 20 banners, they will rotate, even though you may have only 1 placeholder on a page. Rotating is done randomly and is pretty much even on all instances of banners for that page.

If you have the same placeholder more times on a page, say under the navbar and above the footer, 2 different banners will be taken for those placeholders, with the same randomness and guarantee to be unique on that page. No banner is ever shown twice on the same page.

If you put together all the possible filters for a banner, besides timing, you get as many locations as you need, without using actually more than one or two of the 10 available locations / shapes / banner sizes / banner types or whatever you want to call them :). The software design makes it possible to reuse a single placeholder for many occasions.

Although it seems to be difficult to explain, it is easy to use. Just think about a glass. You may fill it with water, juice, beer or wine. You may also use sand, gasoline or bullets if you wish. Normally you would not mix one of the drinks, nor would you throw away the glass after using it. Depending of the occasion, you will probably reuse the same glass as often as possible with as many drinks you may think of. In you parties you'll have green and blue smoking cocktails with fuzzy glitter and funny taste, on company meetings you'll rather offer something more sobre, unless you need to surprise the other companies about your taste :)

So I went back and tried again. I was making a very simple error and not removing the % from the <!--@vbbanners:%d@--> tag. It's now up and running, and I'm happy I gave it a second try. Thank you.

I have problem with counting clicks if I use text form to enter code. It's count impressions but not clicks.

This is what the manual says :)

If you wish to count clicks, you will have to include the respective code in your script as well. If you enable click tracking for an image banner, you will see what it needs.

Basically you'll have to call the [forumhome]rbs_banner.php?id=123 script, where 123 is your banner id. Unfortunately I'm unable to tell what happens if there is one or no destination URL. Most probably you'll have to fix the script for your specific needs, too. I believe it may work, if your scripts have no dynamic destination.
