Rotating Banners

[Ohiosweetheart]

I have The Geeks rotating banners hack in the header on my forum, but, of course, the banners don't show in the directory.

Is it possible to have the banners show in the header of the directory? And if so, which template would I edit to do this?

Thank you.

Can you link me to the hack?

I can link you to the site, it's a paid hack at The Geek. http://www.thevbgeek.com/geekmart.php?do=displayproduct&id=4

However if you'd rather see it at work on my site, go to http://www.top-vb.com

Peggy,

What are the instructions on getting the banners to show on the regular vBulletin pages? A template edit or something else?

I have not had a chance to see vB Geek's ad system yet (no license for me to play with :( ) but my first suspicion would be that a global variable is being used.

I just realized: vBa Links doesn't have an option for global variables like CMPS does! :eek:

It looks like the global variable is the solution though:

That option is really only necessary in the CMPS. With vBa Links, anything to do with the header, navbar, and etc is handled as it typically would be in vBulletin. With the CMPS, the navbar is printed out within the print_portal_output() function, so navbar variables will have to be globalized since the navbar call is within another function. ;)

I don't know about all of that, lol. I'm happy to give one, or both, of you admin access to check it out?

Peggy,

It looks like GABS uses some type of script identifier (http://www.thevbgeek.com/showthread.php?t=1308) to choose which pages to add links on or not.

Based upon this thread it seems that you need to go into the ACP for GABS and then add the various script names (http://www.thevbgeek.com/showthread.php?t=1445) that vBa Links uses to the GABS options so that the ads appear.

If that doesn't get you in the right direction then submit a Support Ticket here and one of us will check it out. :)

Ugh I'm not going to go to all that trouble.

Thanks anyway!
