DB Changes Uses Plugins Template Edits
Is in Beta Stage  
No support by the author.

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"

i've been using vb for a while now and all hacks i've done when it asks you to edit the templates it usually means overwriting the existing code!

it appears to work i have the rotating banner option in my admincp can upload new banners can delete banners etc etc but when trying to view them on the forum it just shows the appropriate size of the picture with a red cross in the corner like the picture can not be found even though it has been saved in the banner folder created in the host directory!!!!

so my question again is cane help, cause i'm stumped been trying various things for a few days to no avail
thanks
dave

(A search for "banner rotate" comes up with a bunch of hits, and I don't want to waste a bunch of time messing with another one that totally doesn't do what I want, which is why I'm asking for suggestions rather than just blindly installing another one from the search results.)

Have you thought of installing this hack, and then instead of pasting the code in place of your image, you paste it below your image?


For example:
PHP Code:
<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]/>
$banner

To verify, did you chmod the folder, or the files inside of the images of it?

Also, right click on the broken image at the top of your page, select Properties and then verify that the image is in the same place that you uploaded it to.


BTW, did you happen to notice the Notation in bright orange?

How do I edit the php file or xml file to properly have the width of the banner at 100% all the time? Basically I need my banners to be at 100% because if they are not people with widescreens have a problem viewing the banner because it is too small over the top of the forums.

If you change it within vBulletin AdminCP under the Edit Banner options to 100% it makes the banners look shrunk down or scrunched up within the Edit and Delete banner options. I would like to fix this. Any ideas?

Check few posts above, I already supplied the modded files which include linking your banners to your affiliates/sponsors etc...

I hope you find them useful..
