Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod)

Hi you there. I was looking for a really nice Banner Rotator Mod, but i couldn't find one that had what i need. So i decided to code one. Finished it right now and i'll share with you.

So, what does this hack do?
- This mod allows you to add lots of forum banners.
- The banners will be automatically randomized everytime you reload your forums.

How can i work with it?
- It's all controlable through AdminCP.
- NOT NEEDED ftp access to upload banners.
- You CAN upload banners (jpg, gif & png) through AdminCP.
- You can set a description for individual banners.
- You can edit the description easily and individually.
- You can delete the banners through AdminCP (this function delete the banner from the ftp)
- You can activate/deactivate you banners.
- Deactivated banners remains in the ftp, but will not be shown on forum home.

How can i install? (Time to install: 1 minute if you are fast enough )
- Upload all the files contained in the "upload" folder inside the zip to your forum root directory and CHMOD 77 the folder "/image/banners"
- Install product-brotator.
- Go to your AdminCP > Style Manager > YOUR SKIN > Edit HEADER template and find:

<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />

Replace with:

<center>$banner</center>

You can change banner width and height editing the plugin called "Banner Rotator Generator" and changing the values:

width=879 height=160

for your own values.

I really hope you enjoy this hack and, please, if you find any kind of bug, report it to me as soon as possible.
And if you have any suggestions, post here.

Thanks you all!

Sorry people. I have been busy for some time, and couldnt give support and fix bugs.

Now i'm updating my board to 3.6 and soon i'll release this mod for 3.6.

Right?

Sorry then!

Alright. Small issue. I got all the coding errors out of the way. Now, I must just be missing one step. Whenever I try to put a banner up, the description that I put in for the banner inserts itself onto the FORUMHOME instead of the banner image.

Anyone know what the heck is going on?

Will flash banners work with this?

If not, is there a banner rotator that works with flash banners?

[asasi]

thanks but can you prepare this hack to support swf (flash) banners?

I'm looking for the same thing...

[andrefedalto]

Long time after: This is being ported to 3.6.4 (though it already workd on 3.6)

Some improvements like adding flash banners and individual adjustment of size.

I just installed a new modified skin on my forum. I have the Brotator banner plugin and it is working fine on the old default skin, but the banners are not showing up in the new skin. Not even a red x when using IE.

Any ideas? Does the rotator only work with one skin at a time?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

regards,

B.
