DHC Banner Ads - Upgrade [1.4]

Upgrade now available

DHC Banner Ads Hack

This script allows you to manage the banner advertisments on your vBulletin board from within the Admin Control Panel. Currently not integrated with PayPal, NoChex so payment will have to remain seperate, although this is set for later releases.

Features

? Display Banner Ads on every page
? Limit display of ads to so many clicks or views
? Turn off display of ads for certain usergroups
? Count clicks and views through Admin CP
? Keep banner ads in database but dont include them in rotation (ie: If maximum views has been reached)
? Auto deactivate when maximum clicks/views are reached
? Displays stats of ads in specified users control panel
? End date and time for banners (Limit or Unlimited)
? Multiple banners per page, using a locations script

Please don't forget to hit the Install button if you use this hack - It helps me judge how popular this hack is and how far to carry on supporting it



*UPDATE* [17th Apr 05] v1.4 Released! Download new ZIP file and either do fresh install or upgrade from previous version!

v1.2.1 - All queries now include TABLE_PREFIX for boards that use this function
Steps have also been taken to prevent SQL Injection

You should always close down while modding. (and/or work on a local copy of the files, and upload them all at once).

I get the exact same problem when I try to do anything in the banner control panel I get this back

"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /bla/bla/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions.php:223) in /admin/dhcbannerads.php on line 313""

or line 323, etc, depending on what I try to do.

If I can fix it I will let you know, for now my whole site is bannerless

I just installed the latest version of this hack and I can't get two banners to rotate.

Any suggestions?

Hi all.

Everything works fine.
The banners works fine in the header.
But i still have one small problem.

Im running vBadvanced and wants to add a "banner module".
I need a php page to use as module.
I was hoping that adding a simple $banner_ad[1]; to a php file would do the trick.
But no luck.

So i guess i need a php page that can display the banners without all the other header code and stuff.

Any ideas how one of theese pages should look?

My guess is that i need a php file that can display the banner standalone.
Is that possible to do?

any thoughts on how to change the output accordingly?

I am having the same issue I finally got the program to work but I can't get the banners to show up the home page and I think its because its lookin for the table params in the admin cp but since its on the root directory its not gonna be able to pull them. Anyone confirm this?

THanks

It's been 3 months since the coder so much as posted in this thread.

I doubt he's coming back.

This is such a shame, the 1.4 version is starting to look really good.
Hopefully the author has some free time soon to patch up what he has so far and address some known issues, and zip it up as a 1.5

Save up the new features as a plugin for vb 3.5 so you can call it 2.0 - which also gives you (the author) some extra time to work on it.

Nice hack, feature rich enough for some sites I run and looking forward to version 1.5

If you read this please let us know if you have some time in the near future again to work on this! You've done a great job so far.
