Upgrade info:
-Save your current banners to txt file so we have backup in case something goes wrong during upgrade (this may happen if you haven't followed instructions on how to add new banners properly)
-Import downloaded product XML, allow overwrite.
-Check "Manage Banners" page to see if your banners are properly set and update if needed (to access this page follow "Manage Banners" link in "Quick Links" menu or simply go to misc.php?do=cybbannman). Be noted that only SuperAdmins can manage banners.

Hi Cybernetec,

Thank you for the great MOD(s) :up:, I have most all of your mods installed now and I to am having some issues with some of them. I installed a new skin to the site this last week and now I am unable to get the Banner Rotator mod to work correctly, it's not showing up at all. Any Ideas? I want to use it to help my site sponsorship but I can't even get it to show up on the site now with the new skins installed.

Thanks again...
Kyle

Same problem.

Banner are visibles on misc.php?do=cybbannman page but not in forum home.
I can see only the banners title.

Thanks.

Adds http://www.mysite.com/forums/ to it. Anybody can tell me how to fix it? Thanks.

just don't add your whole url do it like this here

images/banners/blah.gif

and that should work

[juan71287]

Use the whole URL man, its better cause it will work for CMPS.. at least for me thats how I had to do it to get it working.

My question, I want to add the banner to my custom skin, Enlighten. Now, it normally dose not show on the skin but it dose show on the Default vb.com original skin. I was wondering if anyone could help me and tell me how to add the banner to the custom skins? Thanks.

[nymyth]

^^If I remember correctly the enlighten skin uses tables for its header so I dont think this mod will work for it.

[nymyth]

hmm...its not showing up on all my pages....on my homepage it shows up, but other pages i just get a link...

and on vbadvanced the url is off, its missing 'forum' before misc.php. I've added it to my replacements but nothing...

I had to uninstall until i can fix up these issues.....
