Miscellaneous Hacks - Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod) **UPDATED**

New version of https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=103477 with minor bugs fixed and added some additions people requested.

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.
- NEW: You can upload flash (SWF) banners!
- You can set a description for individual banners.
- NEW: You can set size (width & height) for each banner individually
- 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.

Future additions: Add URL for each banner individually, so when users click on it they will be redirected.
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.
- 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 to:

$banner

- Refresh your admincp index and Banner Rotator menu should appear!

Please, I updated and added new features of this mod in this afternoon, so probably it still have some bugs. So, if you find one please report here.

Thanks!

NOTE: Maybe some of you will have to create folder called "banners" inside folder "images" manually, and then chmod it 0777.

for example i want to rotate

<center> <iframe src="http://www.anahtars.com/iframe.php?site_id=1xxxxx&bd=1" width="468" height="60" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="http://www.anahtars.com/adclick.php" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.anahtars.com/adview.php?site_id=xxxx&bd=1" width="468" height="60" border="0"></a></iframe></center>

and maybe some other ads as swf, jpg..

many advertisers wants to place the code not just a banner.. it seems to be just a rotating images.. But it can rotate codes it can be fantastic..

Huh, i'm pretty sure there is already a modification for that. Just do a quick search at the mod-database and you should find something that suits your needs

are you sure u reinstalled the modified version and not the original? I took a look at the code and if you did every step the way you should do, no errors would come up.

Two questions before trying to install.
The URL code warlion did...is that in a new window? I still want them on my site and not redirected.
Can I have banners 1-10 rotating in the header and banners 11-20 rotating on the left? Do I need to add code somewhere to do that?

[xrayeramy]

I see my first question was answered in post #70.

I just started reading this thread - it seems like a good hack, but....

has ANYONE succesfully installed it yet? Seems like everyone's had nothing but problems judging from this thread, so before I install I just want to make sure it's running ok.
