What this minor mod does is allows you to add specials,,, ads and other revenue generating fields to the upper right corner of most forum templates...

ATTENTION: download tutorial if you need help installing.

I tested on vBadvanced,,, Gallery,,, Form hack mod and other templates and it works beauts...


Primary setup consists of uploading peelers folder to your domain location...

If you want to add to your CMPS,,, You must upload peelers folder to your domain root...
http://yoursite.com/peelers/
Also you must add $var to CMPS globals...

If you want to add to your Gallery,,, You must upload peelers folder to your gallery root...
http://yoursite.com/gallery/peelers/

If you want to add to your Forum,,, You must upload peelers folder to your Forum root...
http://yoursite.com/forums/peelers/

************************************************** ***********

Step {2}
  • Goto admincp and open products and install plugin...
  • After loading plugin goto vbsettings and find Corner Peeler and adjust admin on/off and js options...
  • Check path of javascript in admin options ...>>> peelers/peel1.js <<<
  • Check path of javascript in admin options ...>>> peelers/peel2.js <<<
  • Check path of javascript in admin options ...>>> peelers/peel3.js <<<


************************************************** ***********

Step {3}

Setting up your Javascript file...>>> Here is where some may have a issue...

Your javascript file has several lines that require changes only if your FOLDER location is different...

Open javascript file with nopepad ++ and find code below and edit to match path of your PEELERS folder...
HTML Code:
jaaspeel.small_path = 'peelers/small.swf';
jaaspeel.small_image = escape('peelers/small.jpg');

jaaspeel.big_path = 'peelers/large.swf';
jaaspeel.big_image = escape('peelers/large.jpg');

One line of code in the javascript file must be changed so that when someone clicks on your ad image,,, it will redirect to the page of your choice...


Find this code in the javascript file and change the link to your link url...
HTML Code:
jaaspeel.ad_url = escape('http://vbulletin.org');

************************************************** ***********

Step {4}

Here is the javascript main file that loads the flash and images onto your page...


HTML Code:
<script src="peelers/peel1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The plugin will automatically load this for you,,, If you need to edit this info please goto the Corner peeler group in styles and edit templates below...>>>

  • corner_peeler_showme1
  • corner_peeler_showme2
  • corner_peeler_showme3


Why would i have to edit these?
only if you have a different path location where the peelers folder is located...

************************************************** ***********

Step {5}

Placement of Corner peelers...

Add $vars where you want them to show up...

$cornerpeeler1
$cornerpeeler2
$cornerpeeler3

{Important}
You must place $vars in the BODY area of your templates...

Where is the Body area at? Here...>>>
HTML Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
	<!-- no cache headers -->
	<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
	<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
	<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
	<!-- end no cache headers -->
	$headinclude
	<title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>

</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
$cornerpeeler3
OR

HTML Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
	<!-- no cache headers -->
	<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
	<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
	<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
	<!-- end no cache headers -->
	$headinclude
	<title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>

</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
$cornerpeeler1
$cornerpeeler2
$cornerpeeler3

Control them from the admin options...

I had the same issue but didn't ned to post anything. I just read my way through and figured out that once I edited the path in the peel1.js file I just added $cornerpeeler1 to the bottom of the header in all my templates.

peel1.js = $cornerpeeler1
peel2.js = $cornerpeeler2
peel3.js = $cornerpeeler3

I used Microsoft picture premium to crop and resize my images to match the ones that come with this mod. As instructed in my earlier post I tested with the stock then switched them with mine and all works fine.

Don't give up! This is a great mod. I have many folks compliment saying it's really cool and that they have never seen anything like it before.....

Take a look... http://rippersplace.com/forum

Where is the BODY area of my TEMPLATE???

HTML Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

</head>

<body>   <......... {start of body area}

$cornerpeeler1
$cornerpeeler2
$cornerpeeler3

</body>   <......... {end of body area}
</html>
  • After you install the plugin...
  • Goto to vbsetting options find corner peeler...
  • Turn on everything for testing first time...
  • Make sure that the path to the file is correct...
  • The javascript file must be in the correct path in order for this mod to work...
  • Next,,, open up any template that has a body area and place $vars...

What are the $var's???
******************
$cornerpeeler1
$cornerpeeler2
$cornerpeeler3

******************

After setting up,,, refresh the page and view rightcorner of page...


***********************************************

Also the width of your forumhome seems to have set the flash file offline from the corner...

I will look into it further and post about it L8ter...

************************************************** ***********

Folks If you want to enhance this mod more,,, U will have to edit the FLASH files...

Moving peeler to other areas of page can be done by editing the fla files placed in folder...


************************************************** ***********

segwayon I setup the three vars$ so that you can add to frontpage,,,forumhome and other page,,, But you can place all three on same page and activate by alternating one on only...

************************************************** ***********


Here's another link that my B helpful... >>> Peeler Helper <<<
My only problem is the peel if opening inside the same window (_self) it is transparent. Ant it looks ugly. The swf files that you added it is the same like mine. You can see the transparency if you open the swf file with a player. Like satsuki decoder (media player classic) or KMPlayer. The only that is not transparent is the _blank swf file. All others is transparent.

Becide all that everethin working perfect. It seems when the fla edited with anyway it plays the peel effect transparent. Nowere online i can find a good swf file for open inside the same window without transparency.

Anyway.. Thanks for the help.

You are doing a great job.

Next open up any template that has a body area? What kind of instructions is that? Do you realize how many vb templates there are? Do you realize that most of us don't know which templates effect this mod. Why not suggest some main templates instead of sending us on a fishing expedition.

I assume you mean to place that header info in each of the templates where we wish to use and see the peeler java?

Your instructions are rather lame. Why not put them in layman's terms, like most mod instructions are laid out. Consider that most users will not know php or vb templates unless we have clear instructions.

I am not trying to be rude, but I have tried several times to install this... we can weed back from the beginning of this thread that I am not alone... only to get the same lame repeated instructions. I am positive I am not alone in my sentiments!

This works great for me and members love it, I also have it on my main site page. But the problem I noticed is it effects links or banners that are close to it. For example, on my site front page, I cannot click my Bass Pro banner or any of the google adsense ads. But any links on the left side of my page work fine. Only happens on my sites home page, not on the forum or portal page.

nectons,,,
I understand and yes I've been looking around for a solution to this issue without much luck,,, it seems to be a problem with most of the free type of peel away ad packages...

There are a few peel ad sites that you can pay 4 better support packages...

Im currently working on another free peel ad package that I thought was better,,, but it also seems to have some issues when peeling away over other flash files and animated gif files... I was going to release it,,, but until I can get most of the bugs out... NO way...


************************************************** ***


ezurick,,,
You posted before about my instructions sucked on how to set this mod up,,, ezurick I work two jobs that require me to travel allot and take up most of free time,,, because of that I post quicky mods sometimes and yes I don't post allot of helpful info when I do this... But if folks post about problems or issues,,, if time permits I will try to correct them...

I updated this mod without support and I also posted two links to other sites,,, that I thought would assist some folks that still had problems...

If you still have issues with this please let me help U,,, all I need is temporary access to your TEST forums and I will set it up...

Here is a link that shows how to setup from another point of view...>>> Peelaway offsite <<<

Here is another site from germany that is cool
...>>> Pageear <<<

Good Luck 2 ya!


************************************************** ***


Merrillizer,,,
Im working on another Peeler mod that may fix some of those issues,,, but so far Im not getting close to a good deal... If I get the new peeler working right I will release it... Supports left side peeler and if all goes well maybe bottoms...

Goto the german site above and read some of the posts,,, they might help a bit...

L8ter
