@oldfan - Nop, I've never written an add-on for this mod though if you're talking about the submit form.

I did, made that change and it centered it. I don't want it centered on the page, I want it to the right of my logo but centered horizontally with it like the example in my previous post.

@PAWS - 1. Install the Update which I attached as txt file at this thread
2. Do this:
In your forumroot/global.php
Look for the whole code you've put in your global.php and REPLACE it with

PHP Code:

// Start banner rotating by Anhtuancool
if ($vboptions['enbanners'])
{
    // select random banner and display it
    $getbanner = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT title, html, url, type, status, width, height FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners WHERE status = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
    
    eval('$banner = "' . fetch_template('banner') . '";');
    $avoidid = $getbanner['adid'];
    unset($getbanner);

    // select random banner and display it secplace
    $getbanner = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT title, html, url, type, status, width, height FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners WHERE status = '1' AND adid != $avoidid ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
    
    eval('$banner2 = "' . fetch_template('banner') . '";');
    unset($getbanner);
}
// End banner 


Save, and place $banner2 in the footer or wherever you want your second banner slot to show up.

@LauraFL - try to install the Update txt which I attached in this thread.

I tried this and the second banner in the footer, didn't show up

[oldfan]

anyone?

[AnhTuanCool]

In the code that you inserted in global.php or simple open up global.php and look for THIS:

PHP Code:

}
// End banner 


Add ABOVE

PHP Code:

$footer .= $banner2; 


Save

You can use your $banner2 as a second banner in your footer now.

I'd tried that, but the banner showed up at the bottom of my page and I could move it

this is the code I added

// Start banner rotating by Anhtuancool
if ($vboptions['enbanners'])
{
// select random banner and display it
$getbanner = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT title, html, url, type, status, width, height FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners WHERE status = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");

eval('$banner = "' . fetch_template('banner') . '";');
$avoidid = $getbanner['adid'];
unset($getbanner);

// select random banner and display it secplace
$getbanner = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT title, html, url, type, status, width, height FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "banners WHERE status = '1' AND adid != $avoidid ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");

eval('$banner2 = "' . fetch_template('banner') . '";');
unset($getbanner);
}
// End banner

I placed the $banner in the header AND footer.
Also installed the update tutorial how to do it.

The AdminCP runs fne, but the banners won't show on the bbs.
Any ideas are appreciate. I'm still running 3.0.1.

Thanks

The system works here fine but....

I have put the $banner in the header, but it does not align to the most right side of my screen.
Between the banner and the right side of my screen are some cm blank space.
Does anyone knows how I can align de banner so it fits on the most right side of my screen?

I tried it in the header and footer with the update and it won't show at all.

I have my pop up and ad blocker off too!
