DHC Banner Ads - Upgrade [1.4]

Upgrade now available

DHC Banner Ads Hack

This script allows you to manage the banner advertisments on your vBulletin board from within the Admin Control Panel. Currently not integrated with PayPal, NoChex so payment will have to remain seperate, although this is set for later releases.

Features

? Display Banner Ads on every page
? Limit display of ads to so many clicks or views
? Turn off display of ads for certain usergroups
? Count clicks and views through Admin CP
? Keep banner ads in database but dont include them in rotation (ie: If maximum views has been reached)
? Auto deactivate when maximum clicks/views are reached
? Displays stats of ads in specified users control panel
? End date and time for banners (Limit or Unlimited)
? Multiple banners per page, using a locations script

Please don't forget to hit the Install button if you use this hack - It helps me judge how popular this hack is and how far to carry on supporting it



*UPDATE* [17th Apr 05] v1.4 Released! Download new ZIP file and either do fresh install or upgrade from previous version!

v1.2.1 - All queries now include TABLE_PREFIX for boards that use this function
Steps have also been taken to prevent SQL Injection

It's not saving my settings. I also cant see the DHC Banner System option links in the nav, the phrases are not displaying. All I have are empty, clickable boxes.

no no trust me it does.....and as for the phrases i had to twik the index in adminc instead of making it look for the phrases (for some reason it doesnt) i put up the word myself here's what i did and it works fine :

//Banner
construct_nav_option("Banner View", 'dhcbannerads.php?do=view', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Banner Add", 'dhcbannerads.php?do=add', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Banner Settings", 'dhcbannerads.php?do=settings', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("DHC Banner System", '<hr />');
//Banner

Getting this same error, but the settings do seem to save. Though I still am not seeing any banners on the forum pages.

Checked why my click throughs were not working - totally missing the URI and found this code:-

Back up your file before you edit it please!


functions_bannerads.php

Find
Around line 39 

global $DB_site, $banner_ad;

Replace

global $DB_site, $banner_ad,$vboptions;

Find
Line 77 - 79
 
case "image":
	$banner = "<a href=\"clickthru.php?uid=$ad[uid]\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$ad[banner_image]\" height=\"$ad[height]\" width=\"$ad[width]\" border=\"0\"></a>";
break;

Added the full url code to the clickthru links - This should also work for people that have VB advanced installed, since i have it too :lick: 
Replace

case "image":
	$banner = "<a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]clickthru.php?uid=$ad[uid]\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$ad[banner_image]\" height=\"$ad[height]\" width=\"$ad[width]\" border=\"0\"></a>";
break;

Find
Line 95 - 102

case "other":
	$banner = $ad['other_code'];
	$url_code = "clickthru.php?uid=" . $ad['uid'];
	$banner = str_replace("{url}", $url_code, $banner);
	$banner = str_replace("{image}", $ad['banner_image'], $banner);
	$banner = str_replace("{height}", $ad['height'], $banner);
	$banner = str_replace("{width}", $ad['width'], $banner);
break;

Replace

case "other":
	$banner = $ad['other_code'];
	$url_code = "$vboptions[bburl]clickthru.php?uid=" . $ad['uid'];
	$banner = str_replace("{url}", $url_code, $banner);
	$banner = str_replace("{image}", $ad['banner_image'], $banner);
	$banner = str_replace("{height}", $ad['height'], $banner);
	$banner = str_replace("{width}", $ad['width'], $banner);
break;

This hack is nice but will not work on "other" for google addsense javascripts until you change the case "other" code.

I've noticed that my banners do not stay active. Not sure what's causing it, but I have had to recheck the Active box three times now.

I'd still like a fix for this too.
