Arrow ads is based on and uses some original coding from
VB Banner Control 1.2 created by KarateKid. Thanks mate!

Why Arrow ads? This is the first VB hack that gives you total
control of advertising and sponsorship banners
How long does it take you to add a new banner using your conventional
banner software? It will only take you 30 seconds with Arrow Ads.
Arrow ads also supports mulitpule campaigns.

1) Forum targeting
This gives you the ability to target a nominated forum, arrow ads will automaticly place the
required banner at the top of the sponsored thread list and at the top of every thread within that thread.
It will also add a "Sponsored by xxx" in the forum display list under the title of each sponsored forum.
You can also add these banners to the bannerbank.

2) File tergeting
With this feature you can add sponsorship banners to the top of nominated files eg. usercp.php etc.
the required banner will be displayed at the top of each page of that area.
You can also add these banners to the bannerbank.

If a forum or file is not sponsored a random banner will be displayed from the bannerbank.

3) Bannerbank
If you have an advertiser that just wabts their banner on your site but not sponsoring a page or file,
just select "add to bannerbank" and the ad will be displayed at random if an area of the site is not sopnsored.

ADMIN FEATURES
1) Add
2) Modify
3) Search
4) Stats

In the admin you can view
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 )
date that the banner was added
date that the stats were reset
to save deleting, you can activate or deactivate a banner at amy time.

MEMBER FEATURES
View guestclicks, userclicks and total impressions. Also displays the status of each banner
including:

This Banner is campaign No. 3 and,
was added ~ Today.
was last reset ~ Today.
is Active.
is included in the bannerbank.
is displayed in the US Crowd control forum / directory. (with link to the forum)
or
is displayed in the Members List area (with link to the file)

Members can also reset their banner stats at any time as required.

DEMO: atmyparty.com

SCREENSHOT: Next posts

REQUIREMENTS:

4 X php file alteration
1 X database query
7 X new templates
4 X template modifications

INSTALATION TIME: aprox. 20 - 30 min

Tested on 2.3.0 but should work on all versions.

Don't forget to click on INSTALL
UPDATE - BIG FIX - 24/04/03
Bug fixed - this now stops guests from entering the ad stats area.
Please download the zip again and replace the userreport.php file
UPDATE - changes- 26/05/03
Basicly we are changing the "date added" to "date expired"
to upgrade will take you 5 mins. This is being done to make it easies to see when your ads expire and will be required for the new Arrow ads / VB Trader intergration hack to allow banners to be auto active upon payment via paypal .

Please note that I reserve the right to code and release this hack for VB3, I have not and will not grant permission for anyone else to code this hack for VB3.

Trafix,

I got it installed, and it is working great. I'm not running the 'Sponsored By' link in the main index, for fear of mass query buildup.

However, the ads only appear to be showing up in my Forumhome...nowhere else. I have $showthisad2 in my header, and $showthisad in the appropriate places. I'd like all ads that are in my bannerbank to rotate throughout my entire forum, am I going about it the right way?

Ok the banner is showing on all pages except the forums. I checked your search, who online page etc and the banner is there but not in the forums.....ummmm you said that you feft out coding to avoid excess quiries.. this is your problem as the templates are there in the forums its just not showing the banner.. I suggest that you replace the code to the forumdisplay.php and showthread.php. Please see earlier posts (maybe first page) I made a suggestion to USODJA on what to remove to avoid the quiries.

Right-o.

I do in fact have the code for showthread and forumdisplay added...I only removed said code for index.php.

I'll check again, to be sure, but I am pretty sure it is there.

Does $showthisad overide $showthisad2?

got a problem pal....

I noticed today that Guest users can see the userreport.php threw the site, and can reset all the stats on each banner.

That is no good dude and needs to be fixed. I removed the 0 from the User Group, and it puts it right back in.

noticed another problem....

when a sponsor is placed on a forum...the forum is accessed, the banner displays in the forum...

now the problem:

it doesnt hold in the threads! it shows the random banners in the threads inside the sponsored forum. It should have the sponsored forum inside the threads where the forum is placed right?

I have had a surf around my site and noticed that when you click on the "goto last post" go button on the forum list, the banner does not show when you get there......

The ulr link os correct when i look at the source code of the forum home, here is an example of complete source code from http://www.atmyparty.com/network/for...php?forumid=20

The code in blue is the thread title and contains the forumid no. and displays the sponsorship banner at the top when clicked on.

However the red code is the lastpost title / go button link and also contains the forumid no. BUT when clicked on the forumis part of the link is not in the ulr address when the page is displayed ........ Something somewhere is stripping it thus a random banner is displayed instead of the sponsorship banner.

I cant find where this stripping is taking place or why .... can anyone assist?

</tr></table>
Other reasons for the sponsorship banner not being displayed would be due to the links in the templates

Suggestion:

Do a template search for
Quote:
threadid=$thread
and make sure that
Quote:
&forumid=$forumid
has been included in the link.
you might have to use
Quote:
&forumid=$XXX[forumid]
Depending on the template and the db variables ...i am currently going through me site to fix the bugs and will update file then they are ironed out.

All input is welcome!

Paul ... the banners currently showing at the top of pages are not produces by arrow ads .... remove your current banners to start with.

add the $showthisadd and $showthisadd2 as instructed in the directions ....

this should fix your problem

PS i love the pig
