Sweet Thanks. :)

nice,,, Thanks

Awesome!! Thanks:D

demo?

Hi, I installed it but its not showing.
What is the template name of the area above footer, that the regular VB ads manager calls "above footer"
I tried "footer" (no quotes) and it didnt work

Installed but some of my images aren't showing up. I have 3 or 4 jpg's that don't show but a couple others work fine.

Http://buckeyestangs.com/vb is you want to see it live.

edit- Is there a size restriction? I noticed the ones that don't show are over 12KB.

I'm trying to move it to template, ad_header_logo. But it doesn't show unless I have "Add Banners automatically to forum header (top right)" selected. Any ideas?

Oh yes it is here :)
This was the mod where i was waiting for before i upgrade to VB4.

I belive what you are looking for is

ad_global_above_footer

however that template will not display if the ads manager built intoo vb is off

guests can see the "manage banners" link but it takes them to the smilies list

Excellent mod :up:

Will this work on the CMS as well.

I am playing with the mod on my test forum and the default settings below the navbar works fine.
How do it set it up so the banners show up on header1 or header2 ?
Can this mod be enabled for the CMS also because default its not showing ?

where do i type the ftp location of my banner plz, sorry for the silly question, but i'm not so good in this, but want to have this mod :)

I have them in /forum/images/banners/name_of_the_banner_here.extension

Yes, but where do i wright this, in witch box of this mod??

installed!!! how do i get the manage banners in quick links pal???

@pantani go to your forum home.
click on the forum tab (if you have the Suite).
Then click on quick links and then manage banners.

See also the screenshots provided by Valter.

FYI: Admin for the banners is hidden under the forums when you login as ADMIN under the subtab of "Quicklinks".

But I added a banner there, turned it on in the setup and added {vb:raw vsa_flashimagebanners} to a template and still nothing showing up anywhere...

James

Installed and working properly thank you
But one more question, hou can i make the banners visible in the subforums also???
Check www.modelbouw1.be/forum.php

And also, do you have a tool to put banners at bottom of my forum, non rotating, just fixed banners??

Thank you

Pantani

anyone???

Be noted that link is shown to SuperAdmins only.

how do you get them clickable, ie if you click on teh banner, it takes you to their site that you put in?

it is visible to guests as well, however it is broken and when clicked takes you to smileys...just fyi

Itis not visible to any logged in members other then the super admin...just non logged in "guests"

Nominated
great plug in

I just noticed but banners overlap Chat box
Do you know How can I fix that?
When I have it on Floating "none" than it stays in the middle above chat
But when I go to right it overlaps VSa chatbox
Left pushes the chat to the right side

can we use ad code instead of images ?

my first picture shows up, but then when it switches to the second or third, i just get a blank and it does not rotate back to the first. Any ideas?

VB already has this function, look for Advertising in the ACP. Then select Manage Ads.

Add the URL in the field, Site URL/e-mail address.

Anybody that can push me in the right direction so the banners will show in the Header1 position.
I tried several things but none works so far.

The link manage banners is also visible by guests and registered users but it will take them to the smilies page. (already said but i thought maybe he didnt see it or forgot about it).

Any news on this?
Thank you

done that and still nothing. also can not get more than one banner to show

Is there a way to add unlimited number of ads?

There is no limit regarding number of banners.

I am still not getting it to work on the header1 position.
Can anybody tell me what i did wrong ?

Thanks

It's not proper way to add/change position.

You need to add variable to template, then activate template name and script name in product settings.

Hmm ok thanks.

Added the variable to Header template but still nothing shows up.

Will try all possible combinations i know and keep on trying :)
