Hi,

I REALLY want to get this working but...

I installed the xml and if I do nothing else but turn the hack on, my navbar menu lists vertically instead of accross the page.

I'm using webchat style and I think it uses tables for the header, could that be the problem? I'm also using vbadvanced cpms, could that be the prob?

To clarify, I don't appear to have a navbar template, the navbar stuff appears in the header template in a table (as far as I can tell). If I turn the mod on, the navbar stuff lists vertically and breaks the page. I have not got as far as editing the template with the 'optional' bits above. I thought if I turned the mod on it with no banners it would just appear to do nothing.

Before I go into more detail, can anyone offer assistance?

TIA

Hi,

This looks like something ive been after for ages! Is it possible using this mod to have two random banners next to each other in the footer? - Like in the pic below

I have tried to insert it like this on the FORUMHOME & FORUMDISPLAY templates...

Nothing happens. Is that incorrect? I am new to this.

Hello,
i have tried to insert on the footer template. But nothing happens.

i installed this and it works great except it puts the banners above everything on my forum.


I actually want it below in the red area to the right of my logo. This possible?

works great! tho...
I've placed the cyb variable in the header template of both my styles, however there is a text "y" showing up during rotations, or the "y" will show up all the time whenever there is no banner within the management screen. Its best seen on my dark style. I've checked the database and theres nothing else in there but the 3 banners I've added. Please see the attached image. Thanks!

Update:
I'd had the cyb variable in my header and footer. After installation the header showed up, with the random "y" issue showing up, but the banner in the footer wasn't showing at all.
After removing the variable in the header the footer banner showed up, and no longer appears to have the "y" showing up randomly.

TeknoSounds, Can you provide me a link to your working site which you install this hack?
Thanks.

When I install the mod, under quicklinks in the navbar it just says:

$vbphrase[cybfibr_manage]

And links to: http://www.bzimage.org/"http://www.bzimage.org/misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=cybbannman\"

totally messed up... But if I go to: http://www.bzimage.org/misc.php?do=cybbannman

it works great so i will just replace your navbar code with the correct link
