:::::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

If you are running vba CMPS, put the path to banner.php into the footer replacements. You also have to have a valid banner, as the test one doesn't really work too well. So try using one of your own.

[2fast4ya]

what's the code for the path? and if its in the footer wouldn't that make it at the bottom of the page? Sorry for the Noob questions, this cmps thing is new to me

[overload7]

It all depends on where you have banner.php and your directory structure. I had to just put "banner.php" into my footer replacements. You may have to put in "/'forumroot'/banner.php"

If you have the banner showing in the footer, then put it in the footer replacements, if in the header, then put it in the header replacements. All this can be done in the AdminCP > vBa CMPS options.

How do you make this thing rotate =\

[2fast4ya]

add several different banners and each time you refresh the pages a different banner will show up
