VB Banner Control 1.2

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

sorry, but currently my job give's me not the time to rewrite the code. I hope I'll find the time soon, but maybe not before vb3 is released...

It is a great hack.

Hope you get the time to release the newer version.

Cheers,

here's something that hasn't been asked....maybe I am just stupid.

in your readme it says

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

but i'll be darned if I can figure out how to do that. I tried bringing up userreport.php but I get a "no permission" page and I can't find anything in my admin cp to allow or dis-allow users

please give me a hint

thanks

[KarateKid]

if you edit one banner in your cp you can put a userid into the textfield which is called: "Userid for viewing userreport.php (only one id)"

Regards.

simple as that......I knew I had a brain fart

thank you

So everytime the page refresh, another banner will pop up?

*clicks install*

Great hack KK !

Very easy to install. I am having trouble using the category part though. Could you give a little more detail on how this part of the hack works ? How do setup the banner to appear in the specified category? Is there something else that needs to be added to a template ?

Thanks in advance.

For some reason I'm getting an X (no IMG or faulty URL).. well, there's nothing wrong with the URL.

So I go to view the picture directly via view.php this way:
http://localhost/forum/view.php?bannerid=1

That gives me:
"Please Include an ID!"

I do have an ID..

What's up?

I have tried everything to make these banners do a random rotation. Nothing I try can work. I'm using the script that someone posted in this thread on how to make them rotate, but all I get is the same banner showing up over and over again. Everyonce in a while another banner will appear, but very seldom..

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
