VB Banner Control 1.2 · **Released**: 07-15-2002

Hi,

with the allowance of Firefly I repost this hack. At first I want to mention that I used PPNs ads hack only for one file in the adminoptions as a template. He made this file so perfect that I looked how he solved the adminconfigurations file for his hack.
The rest is without viewing on other hacks coded by me.

This hack has the following features:

- allows you to create banners dynamicly
- you can view stats:
-> guestclicks ( how many not logged in guests clicked on the banner )
-> userclicks ( which user has clicked how often on which banner )
-> views ( how often is the banner viewed )
- control theses stats over an admin cp script which let you:
-> add new banners
-> edit banners
-> remove banners
-> view the stats
-> remove the stats
- NEW in 1.1: Useroverview:
-> you can give a user of your forum the possibility to view the stats via ACP
-> he can see the views, userclicks and guestclicks
- NEW in 1.2: Put Banners between categories
-> you can assign each category via phpmyadmin an banner which is under this category shown
-> therefor you've to split the categories, that you have space between them

For an example, you can have a view on www.kampfkunst-board.info. The 2 banners in the middle are created dynamicly by my scripts

Here in this post I add the hack, in the next post, the screenshots

This looks great, it would it possible to have it intergrated with the store hack, so every time a user clicks on the banner, he gets a point. He/she can only click on that anner every xx hours!

something like that any way...

nice hack though

of, course thats possible. Just integrate it in my click.php file with an UPDATE SQL Statement

Very cute - thank you! I will install it later.

Would it be possible to integrate this with vbPortal's banner admin system?

Would it also be possible to enhance this hack further to accommodate button and icon ads?

of course. It should work currently

You can choose a banner/button/icon, whatever you want. It works with the image-tag

How though? Does it pull the info from the vbPortal banner system, such as Impressions, Imp left, Client name/contact, etc? Or does this have its own database section which would require an advertiser to login to both the vbPortals banner stats section and this hack's stats section separately?

Will this hack add a second banner to the top of pages that already have a banner ad up there via vbPortal's banner admin system?

oh sorry, I think I misunderstood you. You can place the bannercode created with my hack also on vbportal. That was what I mean, but you're right, at the moment there is no possibility to integrate it with the bannersystem of vbportal. This would be to complex, sorry

Ah well... maybe one day someone will create an all-encompassing banner admin system!

Until then, at least this one supports button and icon ads!

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