Ok.. Thank you. but it's still not there..

When I click on the install in the instructions.. no new screens come up or anything .. just kinda refresh the page.. ?? I was thinking an install wizard of some sort would come up??

Here's a simple detailed step-by-step:

1. Download the xml files
2. Go to your AdminCP
3. Go to the Plugins and products menu
4. Go to Manage Products
5. [Add/Import Product]
6. Browse to the xml and then upload (and the banneradsTWO too, only with this one, ALLOW OVERWRITE)
7. Now go to your adminCP -> styles and templates -> style manager -> pick the style you want to include the banners in -> in the dropdown, selcect "edit templates" and then find the template you want the banners to be in. (for example "header").
8. Put the code $GLOBALS[bannerads] and or $GLOBALS[banneradstwo] where you want it.
9. Now go to vBulletin Options in the AdminCP and make sure the hack is enabled (scroll down to the bottom and you'll find it). Then you just add the code for each banner, and make sure they are enabled too.

Example for banner code:

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif"></a>

Not showing up for me. Tried adding it to header. Then tried forumhome. Same result. Nothing shows.

Your done!

I've done that, still doesn't show up.

Check to see which one you downloaded
product bannerrotator.xml (10.8 KB, 302 downloads)
product bannerrotator two.xml (16.2 KB, 246 downloads)

then check your code
$GLOBALS[bannerads] and or $GLOBALS[banneradstwo]

I also had to size my banners before they would show, why?? but it worked

If this were a sig-banner rotator, I'd be all over it. Cool hack though.

I can't get the banner ads to center under the header image. Here is the code I am using?

<td style="text-align:center"></td>$bannerads</td>

write $GLOBALS[bannerads] instead, as some code doesn't work all over the forum, but with globals it does

[redwinger]

Ok got that to work, now I am am using this code below for the banner and when I click on the banner it directs me to www.mysite.com/intended url

<a href="URL" target="_blank" class="banner"><img src="URL OF BANNER" width=468 height=60 border=2></a>

I replaced the "url" with the target site URL and the "url of banner" with the banner jpg link.
