Rotating Banners in FORUMDISPLAY

Ok, first off, of course, go to your admincp panel > styles and templates > style manager > open your style > edit the FORUMDISPLAY template.


In there, you will find:

	<td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch" nowrap="nowrap"><if condition="$show['quicksearch']"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumsearch" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch"); </script><else /><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a></if></td>
	</if>
</tr>
</table>

Directly AFTER that bit of code, add this:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<td class="alt2" align="center">
<!-- Banner Rotator by Redline -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!-- 
function banner() { 
}; 
banner = new banner(); 
number = 0; 
// bannerArray 
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>" 
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 

document.write(banner[increment]); 
//--></SCRIPT>
</td></table>

Do you have javascript disabled? Also, can you paste your code up so I can have a look?

I dont think i have java disabled?
i am using a theme called aquateen
my site is here
http://www.basslurereviews.com/bassforums/index.php
it shows up no where?
how would , do i enable java?
I only added 1 banner to test.. as above

[HMBeaty]

Try either filling in those empty banner links, or just remove the last 3 of these:

banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>" 
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"

Ok i am at a total loss

I aded it to the default and to aquateen both
FORUMDISPLAY template
did a find for

	<td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch" nowrap="nowrap"><if condition="$show['quicksearch']"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumsearch" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch"); </script><else /><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a></if></td>
	</if>
</tr>
</table>

and it found it fine
then after I added the following

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<td class="alt2" align="center">
<!-- Banner Rotator by Redline -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!-- 
function banner() { 
}; 
banner = new banner(); 
number = 0; 
// bannerArray 
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://jdcbaits.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.basslurereviews.com/images/banners/jdcbaits.gif' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://bearpawshandpouredbaits.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.basslurereviews.com/images/banners/bearbanner.gif' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.kicknbass.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.basslurereviews.com/images/banners/kicknbass.gif' border='1'></a>" 
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://sinkobaits.com/' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.basslurereviews.com/images/banners/sinkobaits.jpg' border='1'></a>"

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 

document.write(banner[increment]); 
//--></SCRIPT>
</td></table>

is there something i am missing?
something else i need to edit?

[bluegum]

holy crap it shows up on opening each forum
not at the main page

NOW I SEE IT and yes u can yell at me

i thought it would show up on the page without opening up a forum
You have to click on a forum to see the banners
i am so sorry
this script works
just a bit different then i thought..

I wanted this static on the front page not when opening up a forum
