Cybernetic. Your mod looks like it should work, and I like that it is part of my BB drop down menu to control it, but it is not working right.

I am sure you are busy with New Years, your life , and everything else, but if you get a chance, I would appreciate it greatly if you could advise me on what is wrong.

Thank you kindly. :up:

PHP Code:

exec_header_redirect($vbulletin->options['homeurl'] 


Should be

PHP Code:

exec_header_redirect($vbulletin->options['bburl']

What gives? From reading the posts, the programmer seems like a cool dude, I can't figure out what is wrong

It looks like a nice control panel in my Admin account though.

it should look like this

I dont know how to put the banner. Where is the option where you specify the banner, the path. In admincp in the mod option there is not such option.

[floggerss]

I found it but i would like to know what i have to edit to make the banner appears in the footer, after the first post.

Works perfect for me...

I finally got it to work.

It works very nicely Cyber. Thank you very much for creating it.

It just needs a bit clearer instructions for us technically challenged

[xthecanadianx]

$GLOBALS[cyb_flashimagebanners]

[nrms?]

I Have one problem with this plug-in.

In Forum Home the hyperlink not work, but in others yes... Any suggestion...?
