Hi Valter

Great mod!! Is there a way to place this above the navbar? Having trouble trying to locate it there?

Regards,
Dave

Any ideas why this happens? My Quote fields get stretched. If I take out the code for showing the ad and just make it a direct image linke <img src="image...."> it shows up fine in it's own div. Once I make the code from this mod work, everything gets pushed down below the advertisement. This would be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT if I could figure out this quirk.

I tried every way I can put the banner as well?

[Mr_Devlin]

How do I add supermoderators for editing the banners?
By default only administrators can access the banner managment.

This change:

PHP Code:

if (($_REQUEST['do'] == 'vsabannman') AND in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators']['supermoderators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY))) 


will led any access on XXXX/misc.php?do=vsabannman to the smilie page.

Any solutions so far?

I would like to have an acp setting available for allowed usergroups for the administration of banners if possible.

Has anyone gotten this to work on footer, I've seen several members request this, but I haven't seen the solution. I have BOTH "footer" and "ad_global_above_footer" with {vb:raw vsa_flashimagebanners} inserted into both but no display in the footer. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
