>>--ARROW ADS---> Hack

Arrow ads is based on and uses some original coding from
VB Banner Control 1.2 created by KarateKid. Thanks mate!

Why Arrow ads? This is the first VB hack that gives you total
control of advertising and sponsorship banners
How long does it take you to add a new banner using your conventional
banner software? It will only take you 30 seconds with Arrow Ads.
Arrow ads also supports mulitpule campaigns.

1) Forum targeting
This gives you the ability to target a nominated forum, arrow ads will automaticly place the
required banner at the top of the sponsored thread list and at the top of every thread within that thread.
It will also add a "Sponsored by xxx" in the forum display list under the title of each sponsored forum.
You can also add these banners to the bannerbank.

2) File tergeting
With this feature you can add sponsorship banners to the top of nominated files eg. usercp.php etc.
the required banner will be displayed at the top of each page of that area.
You can also add these banners to the bannerbank.

If a forum or file is not sponsored a random banner will be displayed from the bannerbank.

3) Bannerbank
If you have an advertiser that just wabts their banner on your site but not sponsoring a page or file,
just select "add to bannerbank" and the ad will be displayed at random if an area of the site is not sopnsored.

ADMIN FEATURES
1) Add
2) Modify
3) Search
4) Stats

In the admin you can view
guestclicks ( how many not logged in guests clicked on the banner )
userclicks ( which user has clicked how often on which banner )
views ( how often is the banner viewed )
date that the banner was added
date that the stats were reset
to save deleting, you can activate or deactivate a banner at amy time.

MEMBER FEATURES

including:

This Banner is campaign No. 3 and,
was added ~ Today.
was last reset ~ Today.
is Active.
is included in the bannerbank.

UPDATE - BIG FIX - 24/04/03
Bug fixed - this now stops guests from entering the ad stats area.

i just have one question. what is the forum id for the index.php page?

I want to have a banner placed at the main index.php page when users enter the forum.

The last thing you need to do is add this code to link to your stats page,

<a href="userreport.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">Add Stats</a>

What does this mean?

EDIT: And how can I move where the ad is at? I'd like it to be in the right corner, above the buttons.

I am trying to install this hack and I keep running into this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/tony/www/xxxxxx.net/forums/admin/arrowadsquery.php on line 62

I have gone over everything at least 10 times and I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is there a way to make this show random banners?

Thanks

hmmm, i can think about it ... but my paying clients come first, I have quite a bit on atm

I have this installed and it worked great for awhile, but now all my banners are showing up as red x's - any idea why it might be doing this ?

I've checked and the links to the banners are valid - even tried adding a new banner in a forum and it still comes up as a red x
