Same for me.. so anyone?

This has.. nothing to do with vB3 :p

i run php ads new on the server - but never got a good way to just iclude the banner at the top - can anyone show me the code mods required - i have previously got it to display using a layer but that scrolls with the screen - all i want it to do is just stay in the top right.

Anymore help would be appreciated

Include something like that in your phpinclude_start file and then you can call the ad with the $topad code. Replace the file locotation with your one and you can replace the $topad bit with whatever you like as well.

I've tried just about all of the banner programs. Either too much work to keep on top of things, additional server resources, etc. Plus, about 2 years or so ago I had to do something quickly to keep my sponsor's banners up and running. I too wanted something simple.

Open up and enter your banner info in banner.txt
Open up and edit the $base_dir, $img_url and $max information in banner.php

Upload banner.php and banner.txt to your forum's dir.

Place the following in your phpinclude_start template:
ob_start();
include("banner.php");
$showbanner = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Wherever you want the banner, insert $showbanner

This has been working great for me for the past two years. Yes, I have to open these two files whenever I add or change info but it only takes a couple minutes.

If a particular banner is expired, I just move it to a line down under the text "EXPIRED GOES HERE"

Remember to adjust the $max variable in banner.php to the number of line of banners you have in banner.txt.

Honestly, I thought that after I got my vB2.3 upgraded to vB3 that I would get a little fancier with this by making a table and adding banner/sponsor info in the database plus counting clicks, etc. But, like I said previously this thing works so great I may just leave it alone and K.I.S.S. it! :squareeyed:

Feel free to use it, hack it or whatever you want!

Awesome stuff Indyshooter. Works great!
