vB Addon/PHP Addon Rotating Banner with Flash Integration!!!!!

Ok this is my 2nd hack/release. So lets do this.

This addition to your forum will finally give you the option I have been searching for for a LONG time.

It works very well. Kinda basic, but gets the job done.

This will add a rotating banner to your forum or site. It records clicks and views and so on.

You can use regular image banners OR flash banners!!

The banners fit to the size of the banner itself when you insert it into your control, so no need for sizing it.

Enjoy this addition.

Note: I have edited this to work with vBulletin. I will include the original banner control/setup in the .zip as ORIGINAL BANNER CONTROL. Please dont get them confused.

Screen Shots below.

==========================================

Credits goto Armin Kalajdzija for releasing the original script for this.

ne1 know how to move this banner to footer?

[eddieeddie]

To add it to the footer, do not modify the file that he says to add banner.php into - keep all files how they were before (actually it is no longer a "hack" if you do it my way)

Add this to phpinclude:

ob_start();
require("banners/banner.php");
$banners = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Now you can call $banners in any template and it will appear there.

When I disable it, searches work fine.

Same here! It has to do with the Include in the include.php. Anyone have a solution for this?

EDIT: Just for record sake, I did not install this as a hack. I used the suggestion above and added it to the phpinclude section of the template as I wanted it to be free standing and allow me to use it as part of my PostNuke site also. So once I included it, it stopped the search function for operating on my vBulletin site. I just spent a little time and found that the search function uses a variable called $query as does the banner.php. I editted the banner.php file renaming the variable to $banquery and all is now working. The line numbers in the banner.php file are:

Line 24
Line 26 (2X)
Line 29
Line 31 (2X)
Line 34
Line 36
Line 59
Line 60
Line 63
Line 64

This should help anyone with the same issue.
