If you need custom version of this hack, pls contact me.

:::::UPDATE:::::
The product xml above will add 2 plugins and the ads stays fixed under navbar. This, however, may not be working with some custom skins if navbar template's codebit are changed. To fix that problem, open Banner System plugin (at global_start hook), replace the whole content with:

PHP Code:

// Banner Ads System by tnguy3n
if($vbulletin->options['bannersys_mode'])
{
    $getads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "

bannersys_banners WHERE status = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
    $ads = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getads);

    // print banner ads
    eval('$bannerads = "' . fetch_template('bannerads') . '";');

    $vbulletin->db->free_result($getads);
    unset($getads);
} 


Next step, you'll have to modify some templates in order to display the ads, place this following code:

$bannerads

anywhere you want to show the ads.
If you want to show the ads globally on your forums, put that code in either header or navbar or footer template.

To enable/disable or change other settings of Banner System: vBulletin Options -> Banner System Settings
- Banner System Mode: yes = enable, no = disable
- Show Banners to Logged In Users: yes = everyone (including logged in users), no = only guests
- Ads In New Window: yes = open in new window, no = open in same window

Hi,

Just installed this now, but have 2 problems.

As you can see from the attachment, the links are missing (they work, but the text is missing), and the add banner button is missing also.

Am running 3.5.3.

Please help.

Thanks!

Hi

When I try to add banners with a "&", that's not working

Those "&" are usefull for cibleclick and other ads


For this link :
http://***/cibles/banniere/symp.cfm?...anniere_id=***

I have : (not working under Firefox, not tried with IE)
http://***/cibles/banniere/symp.cfm?...anniere_id=***


Every time I modify the banner link, I have a "amp;" coming behind the "&"

How to fix it?

Thx

[Puntoboy]

is it possible to disable this for certain usergroups?

[tnguy3n]

@ Shogo: the hack doesn't support links with parameters atm, but I'll look into when I got time.
@ Puntoboy: you can use conditional in banner template. i.e. <if condition="($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6) OR ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 7)">SHOW BANNER ADS</if>

This works like a charm, i use commision junction for my banner ads and this hack works with that.I like it when hacks works first time.......Easy to install and use, just what the doctor ordered.

[bashy]

Installed and working great....

Would it be possible for 1 usergroup (my VIP's) to be able to turn off the banners
should they wish?

If not could i change the guest group to my VIP group?
If so how/where please?
