VB Banner Control 1.2

Hi,

with the allowance of Firefly I repost this hack. At first I want to mention that I used PPNs ads hack only for one file in the adminoptions as a template. He made this file so perfect that I looked how he solved the adminconfigurations file for his hack.
The rest is without viewing on other hacks coded by me.

This hack has the following features:

- allows you to create banners dynamicly
- you can view stats:
-> guestclicks ( how many not logged in guests clicked on the banner )
-> userclicks ( which user has clicked how often on which banner )
-> views ( how often is the banner viewed )
- control theses stats over an admin cp script which let you:
-> add new banners
-> edit banners
-> remove banners
-> view the stats
-> remove the stats
- NEW in 1.1: Useroverview:
-> you can give a user of your forum the possibility to view the stats via ACP
-> he can see the views, userclicks and guestclicks
- NEW in 1.2: Put Banners between categories
-> you can assign each category via phpmyadmin an banner which is under this category shown
-> therefor you've to split the categories, that you have space between them

For an example, you can have a view on www.kampfkunst-board.info. The 2 banners in the middle are created dynamicly by my scripts

Here in this post I add the hack, in the next post, the screenshots

It works like a charm now!

I have a request...can you make an addon: If in Admin panel one could type that memberid "1,2,3,..." will not count against views/hits.

thank you!

Nice work. I was just wondering if you thought of adding a variable such as groupid. You could add this row to the table and add a Group ID to your banners. If they fall into the same group then you could have a random command pick first one banner then the others that are in that group. Then if it doesn't have a groupid then you just display that banner.

So let's say you have 3 banners that you want to rotate within the same place on your web page and they would all have the same groupid. If there is no groupid associated with the inserted code into your web page then it is the sole banner that gets displayed.

Clear as mud?

Ideas?

Thanks,
Parker

@bandersen: If I have the time at weekend, I'll try to implement this. It will be easy


@Parker Clack: I could do this. It would be no problem. But then I would make a features, which PPN still allows with his ads hack and I don't want to copy an idea, so just take his hack in combination with this one

KarateKid:

The idea may be the same but the implementation of it would be different.

As I stated this would add a groupid to the banner table. Then you would do a check in your click.php and view.php files to see if they are in the same groupid or not and if they are then post them in the same place in a random fashion. It the bannerid does not share a groupid with any other banner then it would be the only thing displayed.

I would do this myself but I am not sure how to write the code.

Thanks,
Parker

@ ModshackUK:

- hm deleting the banners isn't a problem on my board? Did you implement all parts of the code?
- for putting the banner between two categorys you've the possibility to create a new template with the value of the code or to put the code threre in where the categories are breaked

Hi KK

I did the install to the letter and for some reason when I try to delete the banner it just goes to a page not found page ? I will go over it again step by step as its probably something I have or have not done

Also will the same banner be placed between each catagory or can I use different ones ?

Thanks for the help
