Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod) · **Released**: 12-20-2005

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:

Code:

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

Replace with:

Code:

<center>$banner</center>

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

Code:

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!

apparently the tables weren't created. take a look at you db sctructure and look for any "brotator" table you find. if you want, give me your msn and i can fix that for you

jrofosho: same to you.. tables were not created. look for table brotator or ive me a way to contact you, like msn

thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
