Banner Scheme

[Indy]

If I'm reading your post correctly, just put a copy of the banner.php in the root directory and on line 2, change $base_dir = '/forums'; to $base_dir = './';

That should do the trick.

p.s. - Hats off to vBulletin for the phpinclude_start template!!! Sure does make life alot simpler.

Include something like that in your phpinclude_start file and then you can call the ad with the $topad code. Replace the file locotation with your one and you can replace the $topad bit with whatever you like as well.

Thanks. Your tips, together with Power Banner Manager (http://www.ak85.tk) were just what I was looking for. Works like a dream.

Hi trafix how almost is "almost", I'm looking for a simple banner ad on my portal and forum home page, I have looked at phpadsnew but is way over what I need

Look forward to the release

I had a few set backs ... i have just spent the last couple of days removing crap from my computer ... was upsetting its performance

I will get back onto it soon

Thanks for the reply, sounds like you are maxed at at the minute, do you have a rough time scale on this release

I found that program right after posting in this thread.. it really is a good banner management system using zones, specific banner ids and customer ids.. really nice utility..

Upload banner.php and banner.txt to your forum's dir.

Place the following in your phpinclude_start template:
ob_start();
include("banner.php");
$showbanner = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Wherever you want the banner, insert $showbanner

I have done the above but unsure what "Wherever you want the banner, insert $showbanner" means

Where do I put the above command

I have tried to install this but it keeps trying to use the local director for the banner image file not the src path I provided in the banner.txt file.
