Random Banner Plugin Hook Location

zooki · #1 10-29-2006, 06:53 AM

Hello, im trying to implement a rotating banner on my Website, i want to display it on VBa CMPS as well as in my Forums, the ads will be located at the bottom of my nav bar.

I can get it to work, but i have trouble finding the correct hook location for it to work on both the cmps front and in the forums.

It doesnt Work in the Navbar, but it works if i place the code in the Header, then the hook works on CMPS and On Forum.

Please help!

Can you post the code that you're trying to add to your navbar template?

sure thing.....

I have following as a plugin, its pretty long so i condensed it. Basically it has 5 different kinds of Ads and banners which rotate:

$random_number = rand(1, 5);

$random_banner[1] = '<center><b><script> GOOGLE PRODUCT </script></center>';

...

$random_banner[5] = 'More of the same';

--------------------------------------

Then in the Navbar, at the bottom i add following code:

$random_banner[$random_number]

- This works in the Forums..... I dont know how to get it to work on the CMPS page. It works on CMPS page if i add it to the bottom of the Header. But, it doesnt look at all good if i do that, it looks better if i can get it to work at end of the navbar template.

Thanks so much for your help Brian.

Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Default Settings => Portal Output Global Variables

Try adding this to that setting:

Code:

random_banner
random_number
