Mod Name: Banner Ad Rotator 1.0<br /><br />Description: This is a simple rotation tool, which pulls banners (or content) from a private forum and feeds it randomly into a box at the top of your site, just above your menu bar. There is an option to stick a particular banner, rather than using the random rotation, in the event of something you wish to promote, like a special or a sale. <br /><br />Since this simply pulls post content... it could be used for anything... random quotes, joke of the day, etc... it simply pulls the post body... text or images. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Author: JoshPet of www.joshuapettit.com<br />        For discussion and bug reports go to www.threadsdev.com<br /><br />Credits: Commissioned by www.drugbuyers.com<br /><br />Demo: www.measurection.com<br /><br />Date: 2/24/03<br /><br />Working Under: 6.2<br /><br />Files Modified: ubbt.inc.php<br /><br />New Files: bannerad.php<br /><br />Database Modifications: None<br /><br />Notes: This allows you to store, add, edit or delete your banners just by adding or removing them from a forum.

cool mod... can it be turned off and on?

If the "banner" forum is empty nothing will appear. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Cool I can just move them to a hidden forum... Thanks Josh another great mod

For some reason i'm getting this "Parse error: parse error in /www/prowrestlingforum.com/threads/bannerad.php on line 92"

I can't see why there would be a parse error there. It's in the echo of the output, and halfway through it at that. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Did you do any editing?

Nope, i've installed it twice just to make sure that I didn't mess up the first time <br /> <br />Well i've installed mods (not part of this)

I'm getting it too. Have done the hack twice. <br /> <br />[]Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in my directory/ubbthreads/bannerad.php on line 92 <br />[/]Funny thing is... there is no $ on line 92. There is one on line 91 but it's a necessary one.

Any feedback on this yet?

Ah I missed this. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Maybe making a template for it will solve the issue.<br /><br />I'll look at this in a bit when I get time and see if that solves it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thank you, I appreciate it.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I was all set to go with this... even had the first banner of "This space for rent" all made up. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Hate to be a PITA on this... but I really, really need this one... really! <br /> <br />Any chance of figuring out what that parse error means and how to fix it? Please? (if I could find a begging smilie, I'd insert it here)

Ah I'd forgotten. I"ll take a look in a bit. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks much!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" />

thanks, I'm waiting for the fix too. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sasha, caspe7... I'm kind of stumped on this...as the error is within the HTML. But I changed this to use a template instead. <br /><br />Try this and see if it works (attached to this post). Let me know. This has a template file to be put in /templates/default directory.

I'm trying it. I'll report back in a few minutes.<br /><br />

Now I have this error:<br /><br />[]Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in my directory/ubbthreads/templates/default/banner.tmpl on line 17[/]<br />

I'm stumped why this doesn't work for some people. I called in the calvary here.<br /><br />One last thing you could try. The couple of variables in the Template file... place them inside brackets, like this {$banner}<br /><br />Worth a shot. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Dave_L posted something for you to try in that other thread. Me testing does no good.... because it always worked for me. <br /><br />I posted in the PHP board because I figurd I'd done something wrong.... but If I did Dave_L didn't notice it. But maybe there is something offensive in the banner itself. <br /><br />Let us know. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, I did what it said in the other topic, I think I messed it up (where I put it), and it showed it couple of times (2 out of place, 1 the normal place), so i deleted it and It worked how it should, don't know why <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I got a question now that it works <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Is there a simple way, to be able to turn it off on a user? forexample if someone hated it so much (if they are on a 56k) that they would pay money to have it removed. <br /><br />(I know theres the sidebar that can do that, but I didn't like the sidebar too much <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> some reason it made everything look odd)

I've done that on my site.<br /><br />I include it on the top and bottom of every page. If they are a paid supporter... they have the option of turning the top banner off. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /><br />I haven't written up the code yet. If I can get to it, I will do it and post it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It appears to be just a problem in using the echo command. I get the same compilation error. But the fix is simple enough just replace the echo block at the end:<br /><br /><br /><br />with simple print statements, not as pretty, but it does compile:<br /><br />

Works like a charm! Thanks James... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />

Works for 6.3 - reposted here.<br /><br /><img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
