:::::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

Below is the code I use in the bannerads template.
Just so we are clear this fixes the problem of the banner ads not redirecting when clicked on if you are using CMPS to create your sites home page.

<if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_mode']">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == '0'">
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td><a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/forums/banner.php?$session[sessionurl]do=redirect&bannerid=$ads[bannerid]" <if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_popup']">target='_blank'</if>><img src="$ads[imgurl]" width="$ads[bwidth]" height="$ads[bheight]" border="0"></a></td>
</td>
</table>
<br />
<else />
<if condition="$vboptions['bannersys_ads2all'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid']">
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td><a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/forums/banner.php?$session[sessionurl]do=redirect&bannerid=$ads[bannerid]" <if condition="$vboptions[bannersys_popup]">target="_blank"</if>"><img src="$ads[imgurl]" width="$ads[bwidth]" height="$ads[bheight]" border="0"></a></td>
</td>
</table>
</if>
</if>

Ok, im not having a problem with cmps anymore as soon as i added "ads" as a hook good to go.

What the problem is the links are not redirecting to the url, it works in the cp but not on the site.

[PondPikey]

Hope someone can gelp. Im using a Kartel fixed theme and am unable to get the banners to display, Im pretty sure ive set it up correctly.

Ive amended the global start hook in banner plugin manager. Im using the following to try and display the banners but with the no luck in FORUMHOME

PHP Code:

<td align="right" valign="middle" width=100%>
$bannerads</a><br> 


[bashy]

Hi

Can this be placed elsewhere, please see the 3 boxes below the nacbar on my site, i would like this to show in the Partners box (3rd 1)

Is this possible please?

[ZacUSNYR]

Cool idea - perhaps you can add onto it more?

$banneradnav , $banneradfooter, $banneradheader

And selectable when you add a banner in the admincp?

[dr.science]

I have been searching everywhere. Can someone please help me to add a flash banner to my site? I have this mod, fully functional on CMPS and all, bt now I just need to enable flash banners to be used.

Thanks!
