Sorry for the newbie question, it looks like the 'Master Switch" was describing doing a query and adding the exact text into the query box and running it. Just moved over from phpBB and there is a lot to learn here.

Ignore post below

Is there a little more explicit install documment anywhere, I added the database and hope the settings are correct. However, I am assuming that the 'Master Switch' is in the language global settings? Is this correct, I am new to vBulletin and I don't just like changing code if I am not certain of where it goes, do I just create a new phrase in the global language phrases.

The final phases of phrases I will try to figure out when I get there, but I didn't want to add to the language phrases and have that not be the 'master switch' described in the install. Sorry if this is a boring newbie question, I did do a search to try and find an answer.

Best regards,

P.S. this looks like a great MOD and I have some sponsors waiting in the wings to sponsor a contest and it would be cool to have banners for them.

Is that any way to get an addon that will count the hits? and email a report to the vendors? great hack and keep up the good work!!

Here's a hit tracker i created in about 5 minutes. Seems to work fine.

Hits are shown when you view the ad list in the admin-cp.

Thanks for your work, are very good. I have made some changes, for my taste, for example the one to add two or three banners, but I have a problem, and is that sometimes they repeat banners, like podria solucionarlo. thanks.

I'm having the same problem another poster a few pages ago was having. (Laura I think)

I've got it installed, got the banners in properly and enabled, all that good stuff, but they aren't showing up ANYWHERE.

I've done the update as well.

This looks like a wonderful hack and perfect for my needs, if I can get it to show up. Thanks so much for the help.

Can someone fill me in on step 2
2. Master switch
==================================
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'setting_enbanners_title', 'Enable Banners & Ads System', 5000);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'setting_enbanners_desc', 'If this option set to Yes, overal show banners and ads on navbar function will be turned on.', 5000);

INSERT INTO setting (varname, grouptitle, value, defaultvalue, optioncode, displayorder, advanced, volatile) VALUES ('enbanners', 'general', '1', '1', 'yesno', '1000', '0', '0');
=================================
