Hi,

First, I want to thank you for a great mod. It's exactly what i was looking for.

I would like to know if there's a way to do that.

On my homepage, I have two sets of banners (one horizontal and one vertical) - this mod can only control one banner. How can I make a second installation of the mod so I can manage the two sets. I tried already but I got a lots of errors.

Thanks for your help.

This Mod is great i have a few little problems that i was wondering if you could help me with

See the pic below i want to add the banner in the same location and don't know anything about php which one do i edit and where do i past the code $insert_cybfibr" after "$vbphrase[miscellaneous]

Also with the banners i have to add them into the root folder of the site i've tried adding a folder and pointing in the manager banners but it won't display.

Installed!!! Running great, this is very helpful. Thank you! Being a newbie, it was very simple.:up:

Hallo,

wer kann mir helfen. Bei mir auf Flugzone.ch wird der Banner oben rechts nicht angezeigt. Ab was könnte dies liegen ?

[Saviour]

Can somebody tell me why this is happening (see attached image).

I appreciate any help/suggestions...

[ManofScience]

Installs fine (3.8.1 PL1), appears in quick links menu but when i try access the banner management page, i'm getting the following error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /mysite/misc.php on line 387

Anyone got any ideas?

[92GreenGT]

Got it installed but for some reason I get the original Vbulletin logo picture on the left at the top and it messes with how the banners look. Why is this happening(see picture below)?

Problem:

[Cybershaolin]

Very nice hack. Thanks. How could I add two banners on the same line (like one at left and one at right)? They would rotate considering all the banners available. This would be a nice addition no?

Also, considering adding banners between a number ofdefine posts, would be nice too,

Guys i cant get this to work - im running CleanBlue theme and want a banner at the top of every page - what do I do?
