Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod)

Hi you there. I was looking for a really nice Banner Rotator Mod, but i couldn't find one that had what i need. So i decided to code one. Finished it right now and i'll share with you.

So, what does this hack do?
- This mod allows you to add lots of forum banners.
- The banners will be automatically randomized everytime you reload your forums.

How can i work with it?
- It's all controlable through AdminCP.
- NOT NEEDED ftp access to upload banners.
- You CAN upload banners (jpg, gif & png) through AdminCP.
- You can set a description for individual banners.
- You can edit the description easily and individually.
- You can delete the banners through AdminCP (this function delete the banner from the ftp)
- You can activate/deactivate you banners.
- Deactivated banners remains in the ftp, but will not be shown on forum home.

How can i install? (Time to install: 1 minute if you are fast enough )
- Upload all the files contained in the "upload" folder inside the zip to your forum root directory and CHMOD 77 the folder "/image/banners"
- Install product-brotator.
- Go to your AdminCP > Style Manager > YOUR SKIN > Edit HEADER template and find:

<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />

Replace with:

<center>$banner</center>

You can change banner width and height editing the plugin called "Banner Rotator Generator" and changing the values:

width=879 height=160

for your own values.

I really hope you enjoy this hack and, please, if you find any kind of bug, report it to me as soon as possible.
And if you have any suggestions, post here.

Thanks you all!

Got everything working good, except one small problem, when I upload a banner it's not veiwable by public only owner. I need to go into ftp and change the properties.

Also, is there a way to be able to upload different size banners without them streching or enlarging?

I have the same problem. I have to manually chmod the directory each time i put in a batch of banners

Is it possible to add in the probability of the banners showing up?

Lets say banner A pay more than banner B then the appearance of banner A is more than banner B with a adjustable %?

So any info on this? Even a "sorry I can't figure that one out" or a "no it's not possible" so we know that this hack hasn't been abandoned since it says it's supported.

I am using this mod on my Clan's website at the moment. I love it, it is fantastic!

I was wondering if an addon could be made to this mod at all?

Was wondering if the things available in the ADMIN CP for this mod could be made available in the Moderator CP at all?

I have someone doing some great work on banners and logos for our forums, and cant give him ADMIN CP access due to some private areas of the forums that need to stay private.

I dont mind making him a moderator though if we can get the functions from this mod in the Moderator CP

Could you please advise if this is possible at all?

Great work on the Mod to date, would be awesome if this little addon could be made too.

Cheers

Chat soon

This mod is awesome. If someone can modify it to where you can rotate certain banners on certain forums that would be great.

For example. I would upload Banner_1, Banner_2, Banner_3, and Banner_4. I would want Banner_1 and Banner_2 to rotate on the "sports" forum but I would want Banner_3 and Banner_4 to rotate on the "Anime" forum. The way it is now you put $banner in the template and it rotates every single one. I would like a way to set which ones show on which forums. If someone can even take time out of this to do it for me I will gladly pay.

Thanks.

I would like to know too.

I'm having a similar issue and my banners folder is 777.

I'm getting the same error as above.
