After messing around I have worked out how to put the banner on the right on the same line as the site logo.

Here is the code.

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"> <a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]"></td> <td align="$stylevar[right]"><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

Is it possible to add multiple banners, and have only certain banners show in certain skins?

eg, I add 10 banners. in skin 1. they all show randomly, in skin 2. only 2 of them will be shown randomly, and in skin 3. only 1 banner will be shown.

This would be really useful

Thanks.

I'm having problems with this addon/plugin. The "forum selection" is not working properly. I've set a banner to show in a specific section, and when I go there it doesn't change at all. If I go to a thread of specific sub-section of the forums, then it changes. Can you update / fix this please?

There are provisions for putting in the url destination to the banner the banners do not hyperlink so clicking on it goes nowhere.

The previous version worked fine.

Resolution?

I'm looking for the same feature. It would be great if you could add it to this product.

I need to add some style information to the banner code

I need to add

style="float:left;margin-top:15px;"

to the IMG tag for the banner. Is there an easy way to do this?

[Gersfan]

When i click the banner it opens a new window/tab rather than _blank..how do i set this?

Thanks,

I have installed this mod and marked as installed, so firstly thanks for that! However, as more of a feature request I would love to be able to track how many clicks each banner has received as we need to report on how successful a particular campaign has been. Do you have any plans to include stat tracking in future versions?

[Finster]

Well, the banners still don't hyperlink. Do they hyperlink for you guys? The old banner rotator hyperlinked just fine, although it is easier in this mod to post the url destination of where one is to be taken if one clicks on the link, but if it doesn't take anyone anywhere, it would be nice if this intended feature actually worked.

I can't locate <a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>

in my header template file
