PLEASE click INSTALL if you like this hack

I've installed it correctly and even added my different banners using "Manage Banners" but I still cannot see any of the banners I made active.

Do I have to change the "Title Image" path in the stylevars to something else other than the default path?

I had 2 issues that I rectified- maybe the author can put them in the first post. I'm using vB 3.7.4 patch level 1.

1. Fixed the security token error " Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing."

Goto admincp -> in the following 3 templates: cyb_flashimagebanner, cyb_flashimagebanner_edit , cyb_flashimagebanner_manage
look for:

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$cybfibr_sectok" /> 


under it add:

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" /> 


2. In the instructions this optional step -> Open navbar template and add "$insert_cybfibr" after "$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>" wasn't working for me, just add

PHP Code:

<a href="http://yoursite.com/misc.php?do=cybbannman">Manage Banners</a> 


where ever you want the link

[dmknights]

*Installed*
A Useful mod, however you will need to know basic HTML to know where to place the banners

[TriMe]

There is a settings for left and right margins, and they are set to 0. But I want to remove the top and bottom gap as well. What code so I have to alter to do that?



Thanks in advance,

TriMe

3. OPTIONAL (if link to manage banners page is not shown in Quick links menu):
Open navbar template and add "$insert_cybfibr" after "$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>"
