Miscellaneous Hacks - Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod) **UPDATED**

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:

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

replace to:

$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.

Hi

Once I added the specific url link mod to the banner rotate mod I get this error.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.5:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE banners SET
alt = 'TrialsWorld',
width = '699',
height = '90',
link = 'http://www.trialsworld.com/Photopost/showgallery.php,
flash = ''
WHERE bid = '1';

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'link' in 'field list'

It works fine without the url mod. I must be doing something wrong.
Has anyone got a link to where I can download these modded files. Or can someone email me them please.

Thanks in advance.

anyone have this working for 3.6.5?

[DFerris]

I currently run 3.6.5 and it runs fine. Its just the mod to click on a specific link when you click on the banner that I cant get working.

[DFerris]

Yippee. Got it working.

[BulletNow]

Now how can we make it so when ppl click on the banner it directs them to that homepage.

[ThePimp]

Banner categories for this would be very slick.
$banner_1
$banner_2
etc...
_# being the category number.
