DHC Banner Ads - Upgrade [1.4]

Upgrade now available

DHC Banner Ads Hack

This script allows you to manage the banner advertisments on your vBulletin board from within the Admin Control Panel. Currently not integrated with PayPal, NoChex so payment will have to remain seperate, although this is set for later releases.

Features

? Display Banner Ads on every page
? Limit display of ads to so many clicks or views
? Turn off display of ads for certain usergroups
? Count clicks and views through Admin CP
? Keep banner ads in database but dont include them in rotation (ie: If maximum views has been reached)
? Auto deactivate when maximum clicks/views are reached
? Displays stats of ads in specified users control panel
? End date and time for banners (Limit or Unlimited)
? Multiple banners per page, using a locations script

Please don't forget to hit the Install button if you use this hack - It helps me judge how popular this hack is and how far to carry on supporting it



*UPDATE* [17th Apr 05] v1.4 Released! Download new ZIP file and either do fresh install or upgrade from previous version!

v1.2.1 - All queries now include TABLE_PREFIX for boards that use this function
Steps have also been taken to prevent SQL Injection

Don't think this has been fully addressed. Also submission of new banners does not capture info correctly. Submission of an 'Others' type banner doesn't accept HTML code either (perhaps should be mentioned )

Found these problems whilst installing the hack for TheWebJunkie. Nice and intuitive banner hack, but it needs some improvements

Confirmed. There are serious security issues with this hack; I was able to insert a string of text into the database, in a separate cell using standard SQL.

Hey does anyone know if this will work with vb 3.5.0? thx

[Xenatino]

Sorry, I'm back again. I will be starting work on this hack again shortly and releasing it within the next few weeks.

Please list any improvements you would like to see in the next release and any bugs/security holes (With the filename and rough location if possible) so that all of these may be corrected.

I apologise for the delay in getting back to you all.

This script has only been formally tested with vB 3.0.7. Upon release of vB 3.5.0, I will try and make this version blend seemlessly. If not, I will release an updated version for the new vB version.

I get errors when trying to insert data

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thekryp/public_html/includes/adminfunctions.php:223) in /admincp/dhcbannerads.php on line 304

I'm using vBadvanced on my website and it will not display the ad on that page. Any idea why?

Also, is it possible to display Google Ads?
