Is in Beta Stage  
No support by the author.

New version of https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=103477 with minor bugs fixed and added some additions people requested.

So, what does this hack do?
- This mod allows you to add lots of forum banners.
- The banners will be automatically randomized everytime you reload your forums.

How can i work with it?
- It's all controlable through AdminCP.
- NOT NEEDED ftp access to upload banners.
- You CAN upload banners (jpg, gif & png) through AdminCP.
- NEW: You can upload flash (SWF) banners!
- You can set a description for individual banners.
- NEW: You can set size (width & height) for each banner individually
- You can edit the description easily and individually.
- You can delete the banners through AdminCP (this function delete the banner from the ftp)
- You can activate/deactivate you banners.
- Deactivated banners remains in the ftp, but will not be shown on forum home.

Future additions: Add URL for each banner individually, so when users click on it they will be redirected.
How can i install? (Time to install: 1 minute if you are fast enough )
- Upload all the files contained in the "upload" folder inside the zip to your forum root directory.
- Install product-brotator.
- Go to your AdminCP > Style Manager > YOUR SKIN > Edit HEADER template and find:
Code:
<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />
replace to:
Code:
$banner
- Refresh your admincp index and Banner Rotator menu should appear!

Please, I updated and added new features of this mod in this afternoon, so probably it still have some bugs. So, if you find one please report here.

Thanks!

NOTE: Maybe some of you will have to create folder called "banners" inside folder "images" manually, and then chmod it 0777.

SUPPORT GIVEN ONLY FOR WHO CLICKED "INSTALL"

I'm doing something wrong. I've uploaded the 2 files into the file manager (into several places, was confused by "root" vs "admincp" folders.) Have made all R/W/X 777. Have uploaded in Plugins & Products - Manage Products. The "Banner Rotator" appears in vBulletin Options list of stuff. Have edited the header to display the banner. (Have edited settings to show it on the right, 468 x 60.)

But after refreshing the admincp the Banner Rotator dropdown does not show up on the left. That is, the dropdown to banner functions, like the Styles & Templates, Languages & Phrases and so on.

I'm guessing there is one simple thing I haven't done, but I haven't figured it out. (Have read this thread.)

Thanks for any suggestions and help!

Try logging out of your Admin CP, close out the browser, then open it up again and log back in.

If I have multiple skins how do I make it so certain banners only appear for certain skins? If I have two different skins I don't want the same banners appearing for each one.

thx - no luck

In the Plugin - Manage Products I am not sure which file was to be uploaded. I have tried it with product-brotator.xml and with brotator.php. (Deleting the previous try and starting over each time.) I don't know where the Manage Products places the actual file, so perhaps that one isn't 777'd and that is the problem.

I have uploaded the files brotator.php and product-brotator.xml into several places in the file manager in the attempt to get it running. Both files are now located at the root-root of the server, one level down in the public_html folder, in public_html/admin (with a number of admin php files,) public_html/admincp (created because it was mentioned in this thread,) public_html/forums/, public_html/images. All are chmod 777. If I figure out which is the working folder/file I'll delete the others.

Appreciate any tips. I look forward to being another happy brotator user.

Hello I have a small question. Can you select what skin you want each banner to display on?
