Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod) **UPDATED** · **Released**: 12-13-2006

New version of https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=103477 with minor bugs fixed and added some additions people requested.

So, what does this hack do?
- This mod allows you to add lots of forum banners.
- The banners will be automatically randomized everytime you reload your forums.

How can i work with it?
- It's all controlable through AdminCP.
- NOT NEEDED ftp access to upload banners.
- You CAN upload banners (jpg, gif & png) through AdminCP.
- NEW: You can upload flash (SWF) banners!
- You can set a description for individual banners.
- NEW: You can set size (width & height) for each banner individually
- You can edit the description easily and individually.
- You can delete the banners through AdminCP (this function delete the banner from the ftp)
- You can activate/deactivate you banners.
- Deactivated banners remains in the ftp, but will not be shown on forum home.

Future additions: Add URL for each banner individually, so when users click on it they will be redirected.
How can i install? (Time to install: 1 minute if you are fast enough )
- Upload all the files contained in the "upload" folder inside the zip to your forum root directory.
- Install product-brotator.
- Go to your AdminCP > Style Manager > YOUR SKIN > Edit HEADER template and find:

Code:

<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />

replace to:

Code:

$banner

- Refresh your admincp index and Banner Rotator menu should appear!

Please, I updated and added new features of this mod in this afternoon, so probably it still have some bugs. So, if you find one please report here.

Thanks!

NOTE: Maybe some of you will have to create folder called "banners" inside folder "images" manually, and then chmod it 0777.

SUPPORT GIVEN ONLY FOR WHO CLICKED "INSTALL"

sorry, with over 18 pages to read through, i must have missed it. my apologises.

Wanted to ask this question, I've got this mod installed and it works great! My question is that can I also make this display a different set of banners below my navbar? Can I install the product named something else or something and add the code in the navbar template as well? Let me know! Thanks

Does this work with VB 3.8.3?

webspider · #**275** 07-19-2009, 09:27 PM

Works for me.

w00ttastic · #**276** 08-30-2009, 08:30 PM

Doesn't work for me on 3.8.3. I've tried the given instructions, tried using <center>$banner</center>, tried tweaking the options in the Banner Rotator options, but nothing doing. All I get is nothing where my banner should be.

This hack works for me, but when i click the banner, it simply goes back to the main page of my forum, not to the URL i specified in the banner...

HELP!

thanks

It's nice and it will be greater if I can add url to the banner

rwoscott · #**279** 04-26-2010, 11:18 PM

I really liked this hack, would be nice to see a VB4 version.

I haven't seen anything I like yet in the VB4 mods.

iref2010 · #**280** 02-02-2011, 08:10 AM

Would it work on Version 3.8.5?

Does this have any kind of basic stats like clicks/impressions?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
