Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod) **UPDATED** · **Released**: 12-13-2006

New version of https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=103477 with minor bugs fixed and added some additions people requested.

So, what does this hack do?
- This mod allows you to add lots of forum banners.
- The banners will be automatically randomized everytime you reload your forums.

How can i work with it?
- It's all controlable through AdminCP.
- NOT NEEDED ftp access to upload banners.
- You CAN upload banners (jpg, gif & png) through AdminCP.
- NEW: You can upload flash (SWF) banners!
- You can set a description for individual banners.
- NEW: You can set size (width & height) for each banner individually
- You can edit the description easily and individually.
- You can delete the banners through AdminCP (this function delete the banner from the ftp)
- You can activate/deactivate you banners.
- Deactivated banners remains in the ftp, but will not be shown on forum home.

Future additions: Add URL for each banner individually, so when users click on it they will be redirected.
How can i install? (Time to install: 1 minute if you are fast enough )
- Upload all the files contained in the "upload" folder inside the zip to your forum root directory.
- Install product-brotator.
- Go to your AdminCP > Style Manager > YOUR SKIN > Edit HEADER template and find:

Code:

<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />

replace to:

Code:

$banner

- Refresh your admincp index and Banner Rotator menu should appear!

Please, I updated and added new features of this mod in this afternoon, so probably it still have some bugs. So, if you find one please report here.

Thanks!

NOTE: Maybe some of you will have to create folder called "banners" inside folder "images" manually, and then chmod it 0777.

SUPPORT GIVEN ONLY FOR WHO CLICKED "INSTALL"

Works great, but some images upload... and then nothing shows in their place... others work just fine.

Kinda strange, checked FTP and the files are there but it wont show the banners

                      `flash` INT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL default '0',

                      `active` INT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL default '0',

                      PRIMARY KEY  (`bid`)

                    )

                ");

and remplace with this

PHP Code:


			
CREATE TABLE `". TABLE_PREFIX ."banners` (

                      `bid` smallint(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL auto_increment,

                      `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',

                      `width` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',

                      `height` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',

                      `active` INT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL default '0',

                      PRIMARY KEY  (`bid`)

                    )

                ");

then find

PHP Code:


			
} else {

        $banner =     "<center><img src='" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . $defaultdir . "/" . $ban['name'] . "' alt='" . $ban['alt'] . "' width='".$ban['width']."' height='".$ban['height']."' border='0'></center>";            

    }

and remplace with

PHP Code:


			
} else {

        $banner =     "<a href='".$ban['link']."'><img src='" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . $defaultdir . "/" . $ban['name'] . "' alt='" . $ban['alt'] . "' width='".$ban['width']."' height='".$ban['height']."' border='0'></a>";            

    }

now you need to add this about line 89

PHP Code:


			
<phrase name="setting_brotator_default_link_desc" date="1166036111" username="FileWarez" version="1.0b"><![CDATA[Defalt link]]></phrase>

and

PHP Code:


			
<phrase name="setting_brotator_default_link_title" date="1166036111" username="FileWarez" version="1.0b"><![CDATA[Default link]]></phrase>

save and import

now you need to edit the admincp/brotator.xml

on line 30 add this

PHP Code:


			
print_input_row('Link', 'link', $vbulletin->options['brotator_default_link']);

find this

PHP Code:


			
if ($movefile) {

            $db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners (bid, name, width, height, alt, flash, active) VALUES ('', '$fname', '$_POST[width]', '$_POST[height]', '$_POST[alt]', '$_POST[flash]', '$_POST[active]')");

            print_cp_message($vbphrase['brotator_add_success'], "brotator.php?do=add", "1");

        } else {

            print_cp_message("There was an error while moving your file. Please retry.");

        }

and remplace with this

PHP Code:


			
if ($movefile) {

            $db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners (bid, name, width, height, link, alt, flash, active) VALUES ('', '$fname', '$_POST[width]', '$_POST[height]', '$_POST[link]', '$_POST[alt]', '$_POST[flash]', '$_POST[active]')");

            print_cp_message($vbphrase['brotator_add_success'], "brotator.php?do=add", "1");

        } else {

            print_cp_message("There was an error while moving your file. Please retry.");

        }

find this

PHP Code:


			
if (!empty($_POST['bid'])) {

            $db->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners SET 

                alt = '$_POST[alt]',

                width = '$_POST[width]',

                height = '$_POST[height]',

                flash = '$_POST[flash]'  

            WHERE bid = '$_POST[bid]'");

            print_cp_message($vbphrase['brotator_edit_desc_success'], "brotator.php?do=edit", "1");

        }

remplace with this

                link = '$_POST[link]',

                flash = '$_POST[flash]'  

            WHERE bid = '$_POST[bid]'");

            print_cp_message($vbphrase['brotator_edit_desc_success'], "brotator.php?do=edit", "1");

        }

find this

PHP Code:


			
                print_cells_row(array(

                    "<center>".$img."</center>",

                    "<form name='form1' method='post' action='brotator.php?do=edit'>

                    <input type='text' class='bginput' name='alt' value='$banner[alt]' class='bginput' size='35'><br><br>

                    <input type='hidden' name='bid' value='$banner[bid]'>

                    <input type='hidden' name='update' value='1'>

                    <input type='submit' name='Submit' value='  ".$vbphrase['brotator_edit_update']."  ' class='button'>

                    </form>",

                    $active

and remplaze with this

PHP Code:


			
                print_cells_row(array(

                    "<center>".$img."</center>",

                    "<form name='form1' method='post' action='brotator.php?do=edit'>

                    <input type='text' class='bginput' name='alt' value='$banner[alt]' class='bginput' size='35'><br>

                    Link : <input type='text' class='bginput' name='link' value='$banner[link]' class='bginput' size='28'><br>

                    Width: <input type='text' class='bginput' name='width' value='$banner[width]' class='bginput' size='5'> 

                    Height: <input type='text' class='bginput' name='height' value='$banner[height]' class='bginput' size='5'><br><br>

                    <input type='submit' name='Submit' value='  ".$vbphrase['brotator_edit_update']."  ' class='button'>

                    </form>",

                    $active

save and overwrite

with this you can edit the link too
and thats all works for me on vb 3.6.4

Great - it works fine - though this put the banner to the left hand side - remember to put CENTER for centering the banner....

} else {
$banner = "<a href='".$ban['link']."'><center><img src='" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . $defaultdir . "/" . $ban['name'] . "' alt='" . $ban['alt'] . "' width='".$ban['width']."' height='".$ban['height']."' border='0'></center></a>";
}

That should work. If not, report here again please

Sorry, my mistake. Check here to see how it looks in the website:

Everytime you refresh or change the page, the banner will be replaced by other randomly.

sunnycher · #**146** 08-18-2007, 02:31 PM

It's not letting any of the ext upload lol!

sunnycher · #**147** 08-18-2007, 02:33 PM

too much of a hassle, uninstalled.

SpaceStar · #**148** 08-18-2007, 09:58 PM

Just experinced, if you put a question mark (?) in ALT field, it comes up with an SQL error

i.s.s.w · #**149** 08-22-2007, 12:25 PM

Nice

while uploading a simple banner in ext. of jpg or png it gives this

The selected file type is not allowed.

majorvbuser · #**150** 08-22-2007, 01:52 PM

Anybody know of a banner rotation script which allows you to actually add a URL to the banner? I don't understand what purpose a banner script is that doesn't make the banners clickable??

applyimage · #**151** 08-22-2007, 02:26 PM

|This error is returned when trying to upload a banner:

Code:
