[Req]: Random Banner Hack

[EH-Jay]

I'm just looking for a random banner hack to show random banners somewhere on the page and it has to work with vb 3.x.x and even maybe show the clicks a banner has had.

I searched the site and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I came here to request it.

Hopefully something is out there!

Thanks!

I use phpAdsNew for this purpose, which is a quite powerful solution IMHO.

well their are random banner hacks made but they dont track how many times they were clicked.

Is it vBulletin integrated? Or can it be? I really don't care about the clicks really, just random banners.

A very easy way of creating rotating banners is by adding the following line in your "phpinclude_start" template (replace X with the number of banners you are rotating)

$bannerrand = rand(1, X);

and then use the number generated in your template whereever you want the banner, for instance in the "header" template. Example; rotating three banners (X=3 in the code above):

<if condition="$bannerrand == '1'">
<a href="Banner 1 hyperlink"><img src="Banner 1 Image URL" /></a>
<else />
<if condition="$bannerrand == '2'">
<a href="Banner 2 hyperlink"><img src="Banner 2 Image URL" /></a>
<else />
<a href="Banner 3 hyperlink"><img src="Banner 3 Image URL" /></a>
</if>

There's nothing to integrate into vBulletin...

You get code that you can easily add to any of your vBulletin templates.

Didn't know. I'm still a noobie at vB but I'm learning

It was working then it died. Why is that? Now all 3 images are loading at the same time, not 1 after the other. Any help?
