What if you dont have the code in your header?

- Go to your AdminCP > Style Manager > YOUR SKIN > Edit HEADER template and find:
Code:
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
replace it to:
Code:
<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>

My Header does not contain the code to look for, so not sure what to replace.

You have to find the code for your current header logo, and replace it with the code from brotator.

i try to add image and get this error :

Warning: move_uploaded_file(./images/banners/jobs.gif) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/brotator.php on line 62

<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner $banner</a></center>

I add a " $banner " to header and it still works...

And is it possible to locate more than one banner ...

2 or more lines and 2 - 4 - 6 banners and we are going to have more banners on our forums ...

and maybe we can add google addsense ...

is it possible ?

be sure you have a folder called "banners" inside your forum images folder.

If you add just $banner you will miss the linking function
You can put the banner anywhere you want, but it'll show the same banner in all places, to change u gotta refresh the page. Maybe with a little tweak you can add the option to get more then one banner from the database.

No, google adsense is not supported

yeh it is but it dont work still

This is how I added banners to my forum. Works great!! I ended up with my original header with an ad banner right next to it. Both are centered, and both are links to separate sites. My original header links to my forum home page and the ad banner links to page that I told it to when I added the banner. Hope that makes sense.

<td align="$stylevar[left]"><center><a href="http://www.iemas.us/index.php"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]"><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>
	</td>

BTW, I really like how I can tell the banner which forums to show up in.
Good job on this mod.

Thanks
Keith
