If you need custom version of this hack, pls contact me.

:::::UPDATE:::::
The product xml above will add 2 plugins and the ads stays fixed under navbar. This, however, may not be working with some custom skins if navbar template's codebit are changed. To fix that problem, open Banner System plugin (at global_start hook), replace the whole content with:

PHP Code:

// Banner Ads System by tnguy3n
if($vbulletin->options['bannersys_mode'])
{
    $getads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "

bannersys_banners WHERE status = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
    $ads = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getads);

    // print banner ads
    eval('$bannerads = "' . fetch_template('bannerads') . '";');

    $vbulletin->db->free_result($getads);
    unset($getads);
} 


Next step, you'll have to modify some templates in order to display the ads, place this following code:

$bannerads

anywhere you want to show the ads.
If you want to show the ads globally on your forums, put that code in either header or navbar or footer template.

To enable/disable or change other settings of Banner System: vBulletin Options -> Banner System Settings
- Banner System Mode: yes = enable, no = disable
- Show Banners to Logged In Users: yes = everyone (including logged in users), no = only guests
- Ads In New Window: yes = open in new window, no = open in same window

Nope.. That is the mentioned 'dot' from above.. Where the banner SHOULD be

I have just installed it...it's working but i m getting two banners at a time. One is above the nav bar and one is below the nav bar... i want to make it one...below the nav bar... help in this regard

[RichieBoy67]

I had no problems what so ever with the install.... I found it very simple actualy and it works perfectly...

I was just wondering if anyone has figured out how to get adsense working on this??? Right now this hack is great.... if you could display adsense it would be awesome!!!

Thanks much

Flawless install.
And although I have a heavily modded navbar, it installed stock, no need for the plugin edit.

I have one question:

Is it possible to position the ad rotation elsewhere than below the navbar, without too many complicated edits?

Also, for those of you more knowlegeable than I, is there a marked difference between what I get with this hack, as opposed to using another hack that would integrate php adsnew?

Thank you.

I cannot seem to find what template the $bannerads is located in. I searched everything.
