I've been using your mod for a while now and it's been working well (www.landcruiserclub.net)

One issue I had was that I charge members to have their banners there. This was turning into a pain in the backside for me to manage who paid for what period etc. so, I made a small mod.

I optionally attached a banner to a user. I then changed your select where you grab the active banners to do a left outer to the subscription and subscriptionlog tables to ensure that the user has a valid and active subscription. If there was none then the record was excluded.

Now my banners are active only while the user has a valid subscription and as soon as that expires, the join removes the banners from the results.
Because it is a left outer, the need for a user is optional and if there is no link then your mod works as usual.


I don't want to take your code with my change and call it mine so can email you the change details if you would / could include it in your next release. It took me all of 15 minutes to do so not a big deal at all.


Thanks again for the mod.


Cheers,
Crispin

Great mod, I'd love to be able to place them in more than one spot on a page though. Maybe two areas max.

It appears the banner I added. How can I do?

Anyone?

Is there any way to get this to show sitewide?

I've been using this modification for a while and really enjoy it. However, I would like to add a javascript banner to the rotation. How could I accomplish this?

Site in signature.

If you leave 'Display Location' blank in the options, the banners should show on all pages of your site. I know that they do on mine.

Installed it today on 4.2.2 PL1 and it's working just fine!

Hi, I've been using VSa - ChatBox 3.1.6 for quite sometime. I wonder, is there a way to download all the recorded chatbox messages, since it's part of the forum's history, and clean them from the database, afterwards?

thnx

( edit: wrong thread.. i meant to post here.. )

Is there a possibility to show different Banner abreast (side by side)?

[dknelson]

I am using this and it works fine unless I enable PhotoPlog. If you enable this and have PhotoPlog enabled then the menu for PhotoPlog for uploads and etc. goes away.

I would like to put this in the header. Bulletin's "Advertising" feature shows a place for an Ad called Header 2. That is where I would like this to show up. Can anybody tell me how to place it there?

I'm attaching a picture that shows "Global Header 2". How can I put this there?

Can I also Add affilinet banner?
