JoshPet I type Like navaho Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 11330 Loc: Charlotte, NC	Mod Name / Version: 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 />Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.2-6.3 <br /> <br />Mod Status: Beta <br /> <br />Any pre-requisites: none <br /> <br />Author(s): JoshPet <br /> <br />Date: 2/24/03 <br /> <br />Credits: Commissioned by www.drugbuyers.com <br /> <br />Files Altered: ubbt.inc.php <br /> <br />New Files: bannerad.php <br /> <br />Database Altered: none <br /> <br />Info/Instructions: This allows you to store, add, edit or delete your banners just by adding or removing them from a "hidden" forum. Simple Interface. Verified instructions work fine for 6.3. <br /> <br /> Attachments 77955-BannerAdRotator1.0.zip (300 downloads) Edited by JoshPet (04/28/03 03:42 AM) _________________________ Joshua Pettit www.JoshuaPettit.com My abilities are for hire.

Ian_W Veteran Registered: 02/22/02 Posts: 2575 Loc: England	You have no code header section for the banners - although I have not looked at this hack - my suggestion is to check the bits relevant to adding the banners to the tmpl files. _________________________ Fans Focus - Focusing on Fans of Sport (Okay - mainly football (the British variety at the moment - but expanding all the time....)

JoshPet I type Like navaho Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 11330 Loc: Charlotte, NC	Yeah, at measurection I actually use it at the top and bottom. You'll see how you simply "include" the file right below the menu bar.... you can do the same before the ubbt_footer.tmpl. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ Joshua Pettit www.JoshuaPettit.com My abilities are for hire.

omegatron Member Registered: 04/05/01 Posts: 3440 Loc: abingdon,md	Check for an error like a missing } " ; <br /> <br />I have not downloaded this one but if there was something you had to edit when installing the hack in that file I would look at the lines you edited because sometimes the error can be thrown down the page like when parentheses is missed. Now a missing ; or " should be on the line stated. <br /> <br />This is in the instructions <br /> <br /> <br />If you wish to use a board keyword other than "banners" you can edit the $boardkeyword <br />variable at the top of the included bannerad.php file. <br /> <br /> <br />#### <br />#### Add a config variable <br />#### <br /> <br />In your admin menu, edit the config file. <br />Scroll to the very bottom, into the box of extra/unknown variables, add this: <br />$config['banner'] = ''; <br /> <br /> <br />Did you edit the banner keyword to something else? Did you add the variable above to the admin control panel? <br /> <br />If you edited the variable in the bannerad.php file make sure you have it like this "newname"; _________________________ Chuck S DIVE IN AND VISIT ME: Omegatron\'s Reefs Administrator at ReefTalk

omegatron Member Registered: 04/05/01 Posts: 3440 Loc: abingdon,md	By default the program has a keyword of banners. The one in the install file has banner. I opened the zip and checked. If your line 30 is not what I stated I highly suggest downloading another copy from here.<br /><br />Make sure you have the banner keyword set with the variable that needs to be set in the config.inc.php file and the one set in the bannerad.php file. _________________________ Chuck S DIVE IN AND VISIT ME: Omegatron\'s Reefs Administrator at ReefTalk

This is installed on several sites.<br /><br />You already stated your board keyword is empty so I would start there. Follow the directions to the letter. _________________________ Chuck S DIVE IN AND VISIT ME: Omegatron\'s Reefs Administrator at ReefTalk

JoshPet I type Like navaho Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 11330 Loc: Charlotte, NC	Some servers seem to not like HTML inside the echo statements like that. Try this:<br /><br />80 // If we found the banner, we'll send the output<br />81 // otherwise there just won't be a box.<br />82 if ($Banner) {<br />83 echo "<br />84 $tbopen<br />85 <tr><br />86 <td align=\"center\" class=\"darktable\"><br />87 <b>Support Our Site - $Title</b><br />88 </td><br />89 </tr><br />90 <td align=\"center\" class=\"lighttable\"><br />91 $Banner<br />92 </td><br />93 </tr><br />94 $tbclose<br />95 <br /><br />96 ";<br />97 }<br /><br /><br />Note the change in the echo statements and that a \ was added before each quote mark. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ Joshua Pettit www.JoshuaPettit.com My abilities are for hire.

I took your Mod and instead of putting the display in the ubbt.inc.php file I put it into the header.php include file. This way it shows up on the top right of my screen where I have blank space anyways. Here is what my /includes/header.php file looks like for anyone else interested. I did change some table properties in the header.php and in the Mod to get this how I wanted it to look. I took out the table properties in the Mod all together since it was going into a table already. You can look on my website to see how it looks.

Code:

  <br />&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="95%" class="tablesurround" align="center"&gt; <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;td align="center"&gt; <br />&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="tableborders" align="center"&gt; <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;td align="center"&gt; <br />&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="70%" align="left"&gt; <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;img src="http://www.tampainsider.com/images/tampains_logo.gif"&gt;<br />&lt;/tr&gt; <br /><br />&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="30%"&gt;<br />&lt;tr valign="middle"&gt;<br /><br />&lt;?<br />	$boardkeyword = "banners";<br />	<br /><br />// -----------------------------------------------<br />// End of variables - do not edit below this line<br /><br /><br /><br />// ---------------<br />// Lets pull a random banner ad - by JoshPet<br /><br />	if ($config['banners']) {<br />		$query = "<br />			SELECT B_Subject,B_Body<br />			FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Posts<br />			WHERE B_Board = '$boardkeyword'<br />			AND B_Number = {$config['banners']}<br />		";<br />	}<br />	else {<br />		$query = "<br />			SELECT COUNT(*)<br />			FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Posts<br />			WHERE B_Board = '$boardkeyword'<br />		";<br />		$sth = $dbh -&gt; do_query($query);<br />	   list($totalcount) = $dbh -&gt; fetch_array($sth);<br />   	   $dbh -&gt; finish_sth($sth);<br /><br />		$RandNumber = 0;<br />		if ($totalcount &gt; 1) {<br />			$RandNumber = rand(0,($totalcount -1));<br />		}			<br /><br />		$query = "<br />			SELECT B_Subject,B_Body<br />			FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Posts<br />			WHERE B_Board = '$boardkeyword'<br />			LIMIT $RandNumber,1<br />		";<br />	}<br />		$sth = $dbh -&gt; do_query($query);<br />		list ($Title,$Banner)= $dbh -&gt; fetch_array($sth);<br />		$dbh -&gt; finish_sth($sth);<br /><br />    $html = new html;<br />    list($tbopen,$tbclose) = $this -&gt; table_wrapper();<br /><br />// If we found the banner, we'll send the output<br />// otherwise there just won't be a box.<br />if ($Banner) {<br />echo "<br />&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color=\"blue\"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Did You Know...&lt;/u&gt; - &lt;i&gt;$Banner&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;<br />";<br />}<br />?&gt;<br />&lt;/tr&gt;<br />&lt;/table&gt;<br />

Thanks for the great Mod Josh.
