I have installed this mod and it works perfectly for me. I've read all 19 pages here, and I'm trying to figure out if I can run two banners separately in header one on top of each other? Is it possible?

Alternatively, enable last option in product settings.

Valter, I've tried to get the banners to show up on the homepage CMS, I've read every page and spent the afternoon trying to get it but no luck. Can you please help with this?
I love the speed and usability of this add-on, work great in the forums but it is like just one slight handicap of a great and awesome product!

I'm using VB 4.2.0 patch level 2


Thanks

Love this add on. However wanted to know...

Anyway this mod can be altered so we can choose which forum sections the banner shows up in?!

Example:

The way this works now is that you can only add a banner to the forum home page. I am looking to be able to have rotating banners in specific forum sections. On my forum, I have vendor sections. And I would like to have certain banners, only allowed to rotate within that Vendor Forum Section.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or if there is a mod out there that can do this, please let me know. Thanks!

That should do what you want to do here.

So say i wanted to have seperate rotating banners in my "vendors only" forum section or a vendor specific forum section. Do i have to call on that particular forumid to do this?

Are you able to give an example of which template i would edit? Thanks, new to this

Hi,

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but I can guess... if you open navbar code, just above the div at the beginning of the template, add your ads and then at the end of your ads code, place <br/> to make a space between the navbar and the header. if you want to increase the space, add another <br/> so they push the navbar downer: i.e: <br/><br/>

I tried it on vb4.2, but didn't work and I still don't know why... The major issue that managed banners options feature doesn't show up in the quick links menu at all.... so there must be some conflict with either the vb version or the plugins installed previously...
