I have tried multiple times to get a banner to show, and have had no luck. Here are some examples :

_NEW.bnr("IMAGE", "public_html/forum/cyb/banner1.gif", 10, 60, 468,

_NEW.bnr("FLASH", "public_html/forum/cyb/rampswf2.swf", 10, 60, 468,

I also eliminated the public_html/forum on both to see if that worked.

_NEW.bnr("FLASH", "cyb/rampswf2.swf", 10, 60, 468,

evertime I click save, and it saves, but does not show on my forum. 3.5.3

any suggestions?

Thanks

[socalsoccer]

Got it! I had to add the optional "$cyb_flashimagebanners" to my header for it to appear. How can I make this appear on all pages in the header?

Thanks

I installed this and it works great. BUT how can i make the link open in the same window instead of a new one?

[Mrdby]

does this have to be at the top? I would like to add it under my navi bar.

[jerseyda6]

i uploaded the product and everything went good... and the option is in my quick links.. my question is how do i do it? is there a post for stupid people like myself? I dont really understand code... i have no idea what to do with any of this here

_NEW.bnr("IMAGE", "cyb_banners/1.jpg", 10, 60, 468, "http://www.vbulletin.org", "Site x");
_NEW.bnr("FLASH", "cyb_banners/2.swf", 10, 60, 468,"", "Site y");

_NEW.bnr("Type", "Path", Duration, Height, Weight, "Link", "Title");

please help someone

by the way this is what is in there now... and i dont see no banner anywhere on my page??

[Mrdby]

where do i upload the image at?

[jerseyda6]

ok nevermind my last post I figured it out... my next question I want to make the banners display randomly and also want to have just a text up there that says advertise with us with a link

so it would go banner1, banner8, advertise link, banner4, banner20, advertise link and so forth

am i making sense? can someone help? thank you

[jerseyda6]

in other words how can i make just text a banner instead of a picture? and How do I make the images randomly?
