1st post :D

*** Useage:
These files can be any image. (png, jpg, gif, ect) or paste your HTML code.

To add banners go to:

Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Edit/Add Forum =>
scroll do to the bottom enter your details.

This script has a few options.
-
By default install it will attempt to place itself
in FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD under location "$navbar" in the templates. If for some
reason your banner does not show up you edit and place $add_banner within the templates.

Here is a simple JAVA random banner code you can paste in the HTML area of any forum.

EX:
This will show @ random.

image1.jpg @ http://www.yoursite1.com
image2.jpg @ http://www.yoursite2.com
image3.jpg @ http://www.yoursite3.com

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- 

function banner() { 

}; 



banner = new banner(); 

number = 0; 



// bannerArray 

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite2.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image2.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite3.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image3.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>" 

 

// keep adding items above here... 



increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 

document.write(banner[increment]); 



//-->

</script>

Useage: If you need more banners edit / add another row.

Code:

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

Thank you very much, Zachariah! ;)

WOW, Thanks a Lot Zachariah

*Installed*

I'm not able to get this to work, either with a single banner or with the script for random banners.

Instead of placing the $add_banner in Forumdisplay and Showthread, could it be added in the Navbar template?

What don't make sense is the 3.5.x version works just fine for the 3.6, so whats the sense in a update?

Installed then uninstalled, for a few reasons.

1] Could not get it to work, just got red X's, in fact got 2 red x's, and I had 5 image files in the scripts. Tried full URL and relative URL.

2] Putting this in each forum is a bit of a long job as I have 40+ forums and I could not get it to work on the forum homepage at all. I would have thought putting the code in the navbar template would be better, then they appear in forumhome and all other forums. I tried that but that didn't work either.

I am obviously doing something wrong, but what. One thing I can't work out is

Code:

href='http://www.yoursite1.com' 

href='http://www.yoursite2.com'

what do I put if it's all on one site.

Yes you can but it will only show the banner image on forumdisplay and show thread.

EX:
On the forumdisplay:

Code:

$search_text = '$navbar';

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($search_text,

$search_text.fetch_template('add_banner'), $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);

This looks @ the template FORUMDISPLAY for $navbar and if found it places the content of add_banner under it. If you have a custom style that has removed $navbar there is a option to place $add_banner.

Take a look: Google image, Google News, Froogle

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- 

function banner() { 

}; 



banner = new banner(); 

number = 0; 



// bannerArray 

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.google.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://news.google.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://news.google.com/images/news.gif' alt='' border='0' /></a>"

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://froogle.google.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://froogle.google.com/froogle/intl/en_us/images/froogle_110tall.gif' alt='' border='0' /></a>" 

 

// keep adding items above here... 



increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 

document.write(banner[increment]);
