How to rotate various advertisements?

[AFemaleProdigy]

Hello,

I am using the advertisement hooks and also widgets to display advertisements in my forum. However, it only allows me to display one static ad. There is no option that I can see to rotate multiple ads based on a certain amount of time displayed. Does anyone know how I might go about implementing this idea?

There was a mod for older versions of vB (back before the cms came along), that would do this. I can't seem to find one for vb4.

Example:

I have ads A, B, and C. I want to display each ad for 5 seconds, then switch to the next ad.

Thanks!

I use Rotating Banner System , though I don't think it rotates banners without a page refresh (which would cause load even for idle users).

Simple script for rotating banners. This rotates the banners by each refresh of the page.
You can place this in the advertisement area.

I agree with Videx.
Rotating every 5 seconds isn't wise to do.

<script language="JavaScript">

images = new Array(4);   

images[0] = "<a href = 'http://www.LinkToBannersWebsite.com target=_new><img src='http://www.PlaceWhereTheBannerIsStored.gif' alt='Hover text'></a>";
images[1] = "<a href = 'http://www.LinkToBannersWebsite.com target=_new><img src='http://www.PlaceWhereTheBannerIsStored.gif' alt='Hover text'></a>";
images[2] = "<a href = 'http://www.LinkToBannersWebsite.com target=_new><img src='http://www.PlaceWhereTheBannerIsStored.gif' alt='Hover text'></a>";
images[3] = "<a href = 'http://www.LinkToBannersWebsite.com target=_new><img src='http://www.PlaceWhereTheBannerIsStored.gif' alt='Hover text'></a>";

index = Math.floor(Math.random() * images.length);
document.write(images[index]);

</script>

You can also use Google's Ad Manager or install OpenX on your hosting box.
