:::::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 did the :::::UPDATE::::: from the original post, so i can place the $bannerads in places other than the navbar - or so i thought.. when i put $bannerads at the bottom of the navbar, the banner shows up, however, i'm trying to use this in combination with this mod, to get the banners to show up after the first post in a thread, but it's not working. i'm replacing the BANNER CODE HERE with $bannerads, but nothing shows up.

any ideas?

anyone have an answer to this?

apparently i got it working before, but i don't know how. i just updated to 3.6.1, and it's no longer working..

I put in a dispute to PayPal and still he doesn't answer. The moderator should take his posts down so no one else gets stuck.
