If you need custom version of this hack, pls contact me.

:::::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

I think you need the Expanded version to the flash support!

Thanks for the link, I've been looking for something like that.

Now if it wasn't a $25 charge for basically just being able to use flash ads. Not much of a reason to purchase. :/

i'd glady pay for the mod if you could add multiple spots for ads and choose them in the admincp.

I have a HUGE problem. I backed up before loading this hack ...but soon as I loaded the xml file, vbulletin cpanel is nothing now but coding . I cannot get in to even delete the xml file, nor can i access my regular server cpanel. ???????

[Puntoboy]

this is the issue i'm having with another Mod i have installed, and i'm having the exact same problem with this one.

When you select "New Posts" from the vBulletin navbar and there are no new posts then the additional navbar does not appear. Do you know how I can adjust the code to have the second navbar show up in every instance? Thanks.
