If anyone knows how to move banner from below navbar to the location header 2 it would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to use this to rotate my forums logo/banner in the header. I've added '{vb:raw vsa_flashimagebanners}' to the header template where is calls the logo, and configured VSA Flash to show the banner in the 'header' template but it's not working. Any suggestions?

its a shame as if this could be achieved it would make the hack so useful, I have uninstalled, its limited on below navbar and does not look good there.

I agree. I even went so far as to PM the developer and inquire as to if an update could resolve this issue, but that PM has gone unanswered for more than a week. Such a shame considering the potential of this mod. Oh well...

It seems that below the Navbar is about the only spot for a lot of sites. After trying this mod out, (it did what it was supposed to do but I wanted Flash Banners in the Header and Footer as well as forum posts and Flash Banners wont show with VB Advertising) I bought a mod that's supposed to give me tracked flash/image banners in any position I choose, but it only works under the Navbar . Of course the tracking works, only the banner doesn't show - good eh! and the support is absolutely out of this world - I've just got to figure out which world!!!

I give up. I have screwed around with this as well as read and reread all of the comments here and I have nothing. All I wanted to know was how to add a banner to my header, but it doesnt appear that anyone knows or is willing to share. Time to find something else.

On the middle image shown on main post THIS ONE how is it possible to change the black text in the input boxes... anyone know if there is a stylevar for that as I can't see anything in the templates that specifies the text colour??

thanks


EDIT:
Sorted it....
For those who need the fix that also seems to work in any of Valter's addons. I've fixed quite a few using this...
This will align the banner at the top and also sort the text colour...

in the vsa templates:
find
{vb:raw headinclude}

and add this under it...
{vb:cssfile additional.css}

Everything installs fine for me but when i go to "manage banners" i am taken to a page of "smilies" with this error at the top of the screen:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/92/4108992/html/forums/misc.php(89) : eval()'d code on line 236

I am in the superadmin group.. installed on 4.0.7

What's the deal?!

[Gary V]

Great Mod! Everything worked fine until 4.0.8 upgrade. Small problem in edit mode... field and alignment. Please help

Thanx,
Gary
