>>--ARROW ADS---> Hack

Arrow ads is based on and uses some original coding from
VB Banner Control 1.2 created by KarateKid. Thanks mate!

Why Arrow ads? This is the first VB hack that gives you total
control of advertising and sponsorship banners
How long does it take you to add a new banner using your conventional
banner software? It will only take you 30 seconds with Arrow Ads.
Arrow ads also supports mulitpule campaigns.

1) Forum targeting
This gives you the ability to target a nominated forum, arrow ads will automaticly place the
required banner at the top of the sponsored thread list and at the top of every thread within that thread.
It will also add a "Sponsored by xxx" in the forum display list under the title of each sponsored forum.
You can also add these banners to the bannerbank.

2) File tergeting
With this feature you can add sponsorship banners to the top of nominated files eg. usercp.php etc.
the required banner will be displayed at the top of each page of that area.
You can also add these banners to the bannerbank.

If a forum or file is not sponsored a random banner will be displayed from the bannerbank.

3) Bannerbank
If you have an advertiser that just wabts their banner on your site but not sponsoring a page or file,
just select "add to bannerbank" and the ad will be displayed at random if an area of the site is not sopnsored.

ADMIN FEATURES
1) Add
2) Modify
3) Search
4) Stats

In the admin you can view
guestclicks ( how many not logged in guests clicked on the banner )
userclicks ( which user has clicked how often on which banner )
views ( how often is the banner viewed )
date that the banner was added
date that the stats were reset
to save deleting, you can activate or deactivate a banner at amy time.

wow very nice and useful hack, keep it up!

Thanks for your kind words, i have been getting heaps of great feedback on this one I used to use phpadsnew, fantastic software but was sort of confusing and took me ages to add a new banner and I couldnt put up with it anymore.
Its a shame that they are not doing "hack of the month" at the moment

Great addition Clicks install

When you add a banner on forum id, i see that the banner shows up in each forum but with just the 'Please support our sponsors' text. How you make it so this banner will only show up in the forum that is specified?

--oops-- i've found it. Just don't add it to the bannerbank.

[NuclioN]

--edit-- problem solved. I shall now reply after counting to 10

[trafix]

Thanks

[trafix]

[PurpleCow]

I have had the worst expierence I have ever had installing a hack with yours. For the first time I forgot to back things up and now my whole site has been down for about 15 hours. For my users, thats terrible.

I cant figure out how to fix this error in my mysql.

Database error in vBulletin 2.3.0:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM ads WHERE pagename='index.php'
mysql error: Unknown column 'pagename' in 'where clause'

mysql error number: 1054
