:::::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

Great work. You forgot the Banner added phrase though. Also try having it in a template instead of how it is currently, its cutting off my skins navbar.

Exactly what Ive been looking for, will install and test when I get home and then donate something for your trouble, thanks.

Ahh question, can we put the banner wherever we want or does it just stick it where it sticks it??

[tnguy3n]

It stays fixed below navbar, but if you need to put it somewhere else, that would be easy to do too.

Hallo,

ich habe auch installiert aber obwohl im Admin funktioniert, in Hauptseite sehe ich keinen Banner.
Wo mache ich Fehler?

[Hasann]

Hallo akakios,

doch es funktioniert aber du musst nach der installation Erlaubnis geben für die Mitglieder okei?

unter AdminCP> Banner System> Banner Settings> Show Banners to Logged In Users?> Yes und speichern

[Akakios]

Hallo Hasann

leider das hat auch nicht geholfen.
Bei mir steht "You can set whether to show banner ads to logged in users here." und habe ich YES Markieren und gespeichert. Ader trotzdrm erscheint keiner Banner.
Soll ich vielleicht ein "include" oder so was in Template schreiben?
Übrigens, es gibt keine "neue Template" in zip ordner.

[Hasann]

hmm..,
hast du schon mal product_bannersys.xml datei durch admincp> plugin manager importiert?
und welche version von vBulletin hast du?

[tnguy3n]

I wish I know what you guys talk about.
