With the Rotating Banner System software, you may publish literally anywhere standard banners and advertising, with no restriction but your imagination. Unlike many other products, it allows to show an unlimited amount of banners and advertising, which are randomly shown at the places you choose, and you may refer generically to an Ad by using specific placeholders.

Also the management is straight-forward and simple to use. Forum administrators with maintenance rights may add, edit and delete records from the Administration Control Panel (ACP), one of each representing a banner. After saving the new banner settings, they are immediately visible at your board.

Compatibility: from vBulletin 3.6.5 onwards

By the way, I do also install the hack on your boards, but since I am very, very busy, it may take some time (weeks) until it gets done.


Tutorials:Updates:

  • 2.1.0: Fix for an occasional banner type selection bug, when the sample banners have been deleted or disabled.
  • 2.2.0 (Major upgrade): Up to 10 different banner locations. Requires changes to your existing placeholders in your templates, since a more generic format has been chosen. If you don't need more than 2 different locations, you don't need to upgrade. Changed files: rbs_banner.php, admin_rbs.php
  • 2.2.1: Minor bug fix in files: admin_rbs_h_banner_list.php, admin_rbs_v_banner_list.php
  • 2.2.1: Hotfix for Max Clicks saving bug.

  • 2.2.5: Hotfix for vBulletin 4.0.2 compatibility bug.
  • 2.2.6: Checking for installed Flash Wrapper rbs_wrapper.swf; A few English FAQ; Help files. Changed files: product-rbs.xml
  • 2.3.0 (Major upgrade): New modules: Delete Expired Banners, Disable Expired Banners; Detail Banner Statistics with unique access key for your customers; Updated help; Changed files: all.
  • 2.3.1: Hotfix for missing field in rbs_hist table. Changed files: none, just update product.
  • 2.3.2: Added: Unsupported option for setting any number of available positions between 1 and big bang. Fixed: Small bug and speed issues. Removed: Italian translation. Italians may now request support at www.vbulletin.it. Changed files: admin_rbs.php.
  • 2.3.3: Fix: Copy selected forum ID's during banner duplication. Changed: start and end hours for new banners are set to 0:00 and 23:59 respectively. Changed files: admin_rbs.php.
  • 2.3.4: Option: Send Mail Before. This option allows to schedule expiring banners differently. New variables for emails: $rbs_enddate: This variable holds the formatted banner ending date and time based on the standard formats for date and time in vBulletin settings; $rbs_name: This variable holds the banner name. EMail Notifications option description: Added direct links to the email phrases for quick changes. Changed files: rbs_mail_cron.php.
  • 2.4.0 (Major upgrade): Removed: Option to enable or disable mailing. Banners with email addresses to notify are handled. Setting to reset mailing in single banners. Now, if mailing should be repeated, you will have to edit the banner from phpMyAdmin. Added: Order links in lists. The initial state is ordered by ID, as before. By clicking the titles, the other voices can be ordered. Clicking twice inverts the order. This works in all lists. Options to prevent counting and reducing thus a tiny bit of load. A new bunch of demo banners for new installations. Demo banners are locked into database in order to avoid 30% of the questions because of the 'experts' deleting them before trying the product. They can be disabled and modified though. The true experts can delete them after all testing from the database by using phpMyAdmin without side effects. Changes: Phrase for emailing about expiring banners, now also with direct links to the phrases. Demo banners. Our old publisher ID is replaced with the new ones, and old demo banners are updated with the new ones, if found. The functions have been exported to includes/functions_rbs.php. This makes the product code smaller and easier to maintain, and runs faster on sites where caching/acceleration is enabled. Changed Files: all *.php
  • 2.4.1: Option Likelihood. This new option adds a weight to banners and allows thus to show one banner more often than another. The default weight is 100%. We also make sure that the final date of the default banners falls into a valid range. Changed files: includes/functions_rbs.php and rbs_stats.php.
  • 2.4.2: Workaround for update sequence problems.

UPDATED feedback

Just now i have removed all previous uploaded individual files and now uploaded entire "UPLOAD" folder using ZIP format and later Extracted as you told u upload entire folder of "upload" . I named my Upload folder as "rbs upload"....unzipped that and deleted zip format file and now have all files and folder with in "rbs upload"

Now the directory path is public_html/rbs upload

Check screen shot...BUT still i cannot see RBS in my VB CP...where i went wrong now, as i uploaded entire folder this time.....

Next ..Manage product=> Add/Import and then Browsed for the product's XML file (product-rbs.xml), and clicked import but i got a message like this "Please upload the files that came with the product before installing or upgrading!

Missing files:

The missing files do not show anything....

Kindly check screen shot and let me know what to do...i uploaded all folders this time...but no use

Next what about addons folder with in 2.4.2...i ignored it as i was instructed only on "upload" folder and "product's XML file (product-rbs.xml)"

check my screenshot for better understanding and pls guide me experts or coder...thanks:up:

I don't think you'll be able to run your forum using cpanel or any other file manager; you're going to have to learn FTP.

At any rate it looks like you're still uploading to the wrong place. Usually you can just rename the "upload" folder to "forum" (or whatever your forum folder is) and drag and drop it on public_html.

A good beginner guide is at:

Then where did you install your forum? Note this mod is for VB4 which by default will install in public_html/forum (I think).

In your instance the forum is installed in your root folder, which is "public_html/"

You should be uploading everything to "public_html/" not to "public_html/upload/".

For instance the file and folder structure after uploading should look like:
public_html/admincp
public_html/includes
public_html/rbs_banner.php
public_html/rbs_stats.php
public_html/rbs_wrapper.swf


P.S. This will be how you install all mods in the future also. The "upload" directory for mods is just reference to your default forum directory which for you is the root folder "public_html".

yes i have uploaded everything to public_html/ only but NOT to public_html/upload/

But as seen in screenshots above i uploaded "upload folder" ( renamed as rbs upload) entire thing to public_html/ so finally it looks public_html/rbs upload after uploading "upload folder"

so next i will try like you mentioned like this

public_html/admincp
public_html/includes
public_html/rbs_banner.php
public_html/rbs_stats.php
public_html/rbs_wrapper.swf

BUT after my upload it looked like this

public_html/rbs upload/admincp
public_html/rbs upload/includes
public_html/rbs upload/rbs_banner.php
public_html/rbs upload/rbs_stats.php
public_html/rbs upload/rbs_wrapper.swf

i will again reupload again my upload folder (rbs upload)

Thanks..let u know soon

Just make sure you are selecting to upload the contents within the "upload" directory and not selecting to upload the "upload" directory itself and it should give you the results you need.

Coder replied like this in post # 2460 "You just copied the files without the folders. It is intended to copy the contents of the upload folder to your forum home ... including the folders."

Are you both telling same thing? I will now try to upload the contents within the "upload" directory as you said and check the status...I will update my feedback soon...thx
