How do I add a second simple rotating banner?

Hello,

I use this script for a simple rotating banner in the header:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=170826

And it works fine.

Now I am trying to put a second rotating banner after the firts post in every thread.
But it does not work. Nothing shows up.

I am replacing all instances of $random_banner with $random_banner2:

Code:

$random_number = rand(1, 4);



$random_banner2[1] = '<a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/banner1.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

$random_banner2[2] = '<a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/banner2.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

$random_banner2[3] = '<a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/banner3.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

$random_banner2[4] = '<a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/banner4.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

And I use this code to displaying the random banner:

Code:

$random_banner2[$random_number]

But it doesn?t work! It?s just empty. Am I doing something wrong?

Please help me!

Regards,
Fredrik_Arvid

Try this:

Code:

$random_number2 = rand(1, 4);



$random_banner2[1] = '<a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/banner1.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

$random_banner2[2] = '<a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/banner2.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

$random_banner2[3] = '<a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/banner3.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

$random_banner2[4] = '<a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/banner4.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

Then this to display:

Code:

$random_banner2[$random_number2]

If that does not work, where are you putting each of the code blocks?

Hello Dismounted,
I tried your solution but that did not work.

I am putting the code block in
Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> ? ? -> Postbit Templates -> postbit
at the very bottom:

Code:

<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1 AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 2">



<div style="padding: $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px 0px 0px">



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

        <td class="thead" align="left">Annons</td>

</tr>

<tr>

        <td class="alt1" align="center">

                $random_banner[$random_number]



        </td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

</if>

I am using this thing described at vbulletin.com: How To Show A Banner After The First Post In A Thread

(I have got the first simple banner rotator - the one that works fine - in the footer template.)

Where are you putting the code block (PHP code)?

I am putting it as a new plugin in: Plugin & Products System

Hook location: parse_templates

Is it OK to put it in the pare_templates?

Try changing to hook location to global_start.
