Credits and Notes:
-Part of the javascript code was originally written by M. K. Namdeo
-Only SuperAdmins can access Banner Management page
-Don't add to several locations on the same page, as it will not work

Have you added 'header' to template names (product options)?
Also make 'pages' setting field blank to show on all pages.

This is how i have it now.

Tried both the yes and no option at "Add Banners automatically to forum header (top right)"
I am doing something wrong but i cant find what it is.

Do you know How can I fix that?
When I have it on Floating "none" than it stays in the middle above chat
But when I go to right it overlaps VSa chatbox
Left pushes the chat to the right side

Still not workee

This is an amazing app with one draw back

Do you know how I can fix that overlapping on right side

Thank you

I dunno if your doing something wrong, but were both in the same boat. Im trying to do exactly what your trying to do, and no go.

I even tried hard coding an html piece for the vbulletin ad system using the phrase, and it just wont show up.

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? LOL

[andreamarucci]

Maybe it's not possible bu I try. I would like to use this mod to put a rotating banner here.

Attachment 113287

Is it possible? If it's possible, how?

[SteveV]

We are trying to do the same andreamarucci but we can not get it to work either.

[HRCHOSTING]

Add me to the list too, I need that banner as andreamarucci showed.

I can only get it to display in the forumhome area, not site wide.

*Is this only for forums or will it work for CMS too?*

[Valter]

Forum only atm.

Btw improved version is coming...
