there are big difference , this hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...135#post591135

allows the administrators to add banners in forum sections & there threads only , & the banners which show in threads is as the banners which show in the section , & you can not add banners to the forum home

but in our hack here , we can add banner to the forumhome "only"
we can add banners to the forum sections only "without it threads"
we can add banners to the thread only "without the section that we add the thread to it"

or we can add the banners in the forumhome , forum section / s and thread /s in 'one' adding step.

that's all

hoolla , alot of comments

It seems, for a very strange reason, that the whole banner system, doesnt work for Netscape users !!!

U can go to my page : www.gamers.gr/board and see that if u go through IE u can see the banner, but if u go through Netscape u dont see it !!!

Also the same thing occurs in Firefox users !!!

Can we find any solution on that?

well , honestly i don't know what's the problem with Netscape or fire fox , i hope that any one of coders who is using netscap or fire fox give us the solution !

b) Also, i noticed that every time i go to the admin page to edit the banner, the drop down menu which says: "On Forumhome" and its yes or no, its on default to nothing and not in the option u put the last time.

now i fix it , just upload adv-admincp.php file which i attached it in this post to the "admincp" folder and overwrite it with the oldest one

c) How can u put more than one forum to be displayed the banner system? I added in the forum home, and in one more, but i cant find the solution to add it in more...For example i put the forum id 6, and the 7, 8, 9 but only showed in 6. Then i tryed put it with ; between them..but nothing again

Also, can we add that in other pages as well? For example in the arcade page, or in the Faq, Articles page

d) Is there any way, we can have simple stats in the admin page for that? for example how many ppl clicked in the banner, how many times has been shown, etc

well , i shall add this options in new upgrade of this hack , soon

e) Can we put a code or something above the banner, which says: "This is an advertisment" or "This site is sponsored by" ? U can see an example to sites like Gamespot.com

yeah , you can do that by edit the templates which we put the $shir var in it & putting your code above or below the $shir var

i hope that i had answered all your questions

best wishes :up:
