Would anyone be willing to give me some "detailed" instructions on how to install this mod please, new to this sort of thing.

I have the Xml file, but how do I install it? Also where exactly in the footer would I install the code at?

Installation:
1. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
Click [Add/Import Product] at the bottom of the page.
2. Browse to the location where you downloaded the xml file and then upload the XML file from your computer/server and click the "Import" button at the bottom of the top box.
3. Go to: AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Template Manager
Open your Header, Footer or any template you want and put "$GLOBALS[bannerads]" or "$GLOBALS[banneradstwo]" to desired line.

Footer code placement:
You may insert the code to your Footer template and place it above or below the copyright stuff. It depends on how your footer is set up. But in most cases, you would find the code for the vBulletin copyright...

<div class="smallfont" align="center">
 <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
 $vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
 <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
 </div>

... and place it either above or below that.


To set options:
1. Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vbBannerRotator by Frapegliko
2. Insert your banner codes
3. And then click "Save" at the bottom of the page.

Hi

I am a newbie!

When it says insert banner code, what does it mean? I have a banner, its a JPEG file and another is a SWF file.

Do I FTP these to the site and then some how reference them through this module?

Any help is appreciated

Regards

quick problem (I hope)

Header, removed ad code which worked and added $globals.

installed product. In ad spot came the word array in small font (found this odd but who knows)

I then put my add in the same ad in the first banner box, tried both yes and no. and only have the word array


I find this sort of amusing but can't figure out the issue.

anyone? TIA

Can someone please tell me how to center the banners beneath the navbar? I cannot get it figured out.

I'd also like to know how to add a banner between the first and 2nd posts of each thread? Anyone know?
