- Install product-brotator.xml
- Go to your AdminCP > Style Manager > YOUR SKIN > Edit HEADER template and find:
Code:
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
replace it to:
Code:
<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>
- Refresh your admincp index and Banner Rotator menu should appear!

Ok I tried to upgrade from the previous version and got SQL DB errors, crashed the whole site. So next I unistalled and reinstalled brotator. OK so far,

I went to upload the first banner, and I got "There was an error while moving your file. Please retry."

I then ftp to check if maybe the old banners are still in the banners folder. They are so I delete them and try again. I still get "There was an error while moving your file. Please retry."

Um? where do I go from here?

socalrico 01-31-2008 05:55 PM
Duh!!!!! I figured out why the images weren't uploading. (image directory)
yours is images/brotator min is images/banner
Now I got to figure out why the banners aren't linking.

Hey, i renamed the folder/table to "brotator", so they have the same name as the php file :)

socalrico 01-31-2008 07:22 PM
Alright I got mine fixed. I had to remove some old code from the header and add the new code listed above.

Great Mod!!!!! Thanks for the ad links!!!!

iogames 01-31-2008 07:54 PM

GsmHelp 02-01-2008 05:36 AM
first need to uninstal old version if not have data base error,in rest work ok

webspider 02-01-2008 02:07 PM
I like this mod very much. Many Thanks!!

I have one suggestion. It would be nice to be able instead of uploading each banner that we could link to an external banner.

Cheers

gforce75 02-02-2008 08:18 AM
A new one? I've been using ur old one and that still rocks. If you need to see a demo, check out http://myffnet.com and hit refresh. I have 3 that work great :p

Stile2 02-02-2008 03:36 PM
I have installed and the banner shows up, and the link works.

But I would like to keep my forum's name in the header as well as the new banner.
So I put the code in after the code to put my forum name(banner) in. Problem is that the new banner shows up below my name banner and centered.

How would I get them to show up next to each other?

http://www.iemas.us

Right now I am just using the same image twice, for testing.

Thanks
Keith

PS I tried to just make my name banner simply include the as banner, but then I can't have my name banner link to my forums, and the ad link to the vendor.

Help Please.

Hey there, the modification was centering the banner by default. I removed the center tags from the code and added them to the template. So now you gotta download the zip file again from here (i updated it) and reinstall de product. And when replacing/adding the code to your header template, be sure to remove the "<center>" and "</center>" tags from it.

Hope it works!

Go to your AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Banner Rotator

There will be a field for allowed file types, just add "image/gif" there (dont forget the comma).

gforce75 02-02-2008 11:18 PM
Well, the centered is most likely to the banner being between a centered tag. Check your html code, i.e. HEADER - if t hat's where it's at. I use dreamweaver to easily see my vb layouts and will spot all these simple errors.

Works Perfectly!! thanks

What if you dont have the code in your header?

- Go to your AdminCP > Style Manager > YOUR SKIN > Edit HEADER template and find:
Code:
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
replace it to:
Code:
<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>

My Header does not contain the code to look for, so not sure what to replace.

You have to find the code for your current header logo, and replace it with the code from brotator.

i try to add image and get this error :

Warning: move_uploaded_file(./images/banners/jobs.gif) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/brotator.php on line 62

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpDGSgso' to './images/banners/jobs.gif' in /admincp/brotator.php on line 62

pow6713 02-03-2008 10:24 AM
Code:
<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner $banner</a></center>
I add a " $banner " to header and it still works...

And is it possible to locate more than one banner ...

2 or more lines and 2 - 4 - 6 banners and we are going to have more banners on our forums ...

and maybe we can add google addsense ... :D

is it possible ?

be sure you have a folder called "banners" inside your forum images folder.

If you add just $banner you will miss the linking function :)
You can put the banner anywhere you want, but it'll show the same banner in all places, to change u gotta refresh the page. Maybe with a little tweak you can add the option to get more then one banner from the database.

No, google adsense is not supported :(

Reecey 02-03-2008 12:43 PM
yeh it is but it dont work still :(

Stile2 02-03-2008 03:32 PM
This is how I added banners to my forum. Works great!! I ended up with my original header with an ad banner right next to it. Both are centered, and both are links to separate sites. My original header links to my forum home page and the ad banner links to page that I told it to when I added the banner. Hope that makes sense.

Code:
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><center><a href="http://www.iemas.us/index.php"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]"><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>
        </td>
BTW, I really like how I can tell the banner which forums to show up in.
Good job on this mod.

Thanks
Keith

Please try uninstalling the entire modification and reinstalling from the beggining. If that doesnt work, please provide more information, like server configuration.

change permissions on "brotator" folder to 0777 (chmod 777 it)

superthang 02-18-2008 10:33 PM
Please consider adding support for raw html so we can put google adsense or cpx ..

also, banner id? so we can add more than 1 unique banner to the forums?

start with banner1 banner2 and banner3 ?

thanks!
