:::::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

This banner hack is for vbulletin version 3.5.x. It wouldn't work in vb 3.0.3.

[Akakios]

Ok! Thank you.
Do you know a good banner programm for 3.0.3?

[guyfox]

im running 3.5.1 and the .org banner shows when a guest shows but thats all I see. Seems like I'm missing a bunch of stuff. Only screen I can find in my boards from the screenshots is the 1st one. I'm noob and probably missing something. Any help is appreicated.

[tnguy3n]

vBulletin Options -> Banner System Settings, check Yes to "Show banners to logged in users".

Hi,

How would I let display at the top right hand corner?

[JohnnyClark]

I have a problem, when i click the link on my forum home, it doesnt take me to the place. Its an error, 404... IT adds "amp;" to my link

[TheAllusionist]

IT would be nice if there was some documentation or a post explaining what the 'call' is named and where it is placed, so we could relocate it as needed. I am not a coder, but I didn't find the code in navbar or forumhome with a cursorary search. It does work on my current theme, but a theme I have in developement has side nav bar and not the horizontal ones on top, hence I thought it would be in the nav bar template. Anyway, if some one could post what I am looking for I imagine I could relocate it! Thank you for your time.

[kadafi_alive]

I have managed to add it to the top, however, it stays in the middle instead of right aligning. Anyone know how to do that?
