Great product and it installed easily with a few preparatory fixes. I am running it on 3.8.3. I removed the < center > coding around the banner though as my style already places the banner where I want it to be. I also took the advice of some of the other posters in the thread with a few necessary fixes. So I might suggest rewording your install instructions to be really clear like this:
How can i install? (Time to install: 1 minute if you are fast enough )
- Download and unzip the brotator.zip file
- Create a folder within the Images folder on your FTP and name it brotator
- Within the Upload folder, click on admincp and upload the brotator file to your admincp folder for your forums via FTP
- Within the includes folder, upload the xml folder via FTP as a subfolder in your includes folder so that the cpnav_rotator file is in the xml folder in your includes folder (if for some reason you can't upload a folder and the contents, then create a folder within your includes folder called xml and then upload the cpnav_rotator file to your xml folder)
- Go to your admin control panel for your forums and click on Plugins & Products and choose Manage Products, then click Add/Import Product
- Click Browse to find the product-brotator file in your unzipped brotator folder and then click Save
- Refresh your admin control panel and then you will see Banner Rotator (mine is located near the top of my control panel listing)
- Then add the coding to the HEADER template of the style you want to use the rotator on
- Click on Banner Rotator and then Add Banner
- Browse to find the banner file you want to upload, be sure to edit the width and height to the same dimensions your banner file is
- Type in an alt name to display when users hover over the banner if you want and also add a URL link if desired, click Submit and then repeat for all of the banners you want in the rotation
