I've made a complete banner mod, witch have if not all, then most of the features you would need to show banners, I have called this "complete banner" mod.

currently this have featurs, like

custom number of banners (unlimmited numbers)
any type of banner can be used (e.g. swf or wav)
count of redirects per banner (filtered for specifyed time)
hide banner after click
count of views
mouse hover over text
link not showen to users before clicking (to avoid redirect not being counted)
uses template, language and db layer
include nice admin interface

in adition banners can be configured to show in several ways, the following options are availble and can be combined in any combination:

Code: Select all

*time based rotating rules
*rotating by priority
*admin can specify user types witch will see the banner
*admin can specify witch forum the banners are to show in

e.g. admin may set up a 2 banners to show for all users except admin and moderators, the banners will only show in the time intervall 10 am - 12 am, the 2 banners will shift rotating the same spot, one will show 25% of the time, while the other will show 75% of the time

I have attached some images from ACP you may look at these, to see the options availble in this MOD

[Niels]

I have now updated the file admin_banner.php and the template file banner_edit_body.tpl

[Niels]

I have updated the code needed in the page_header,php
new version is 0.9.2
please update the code in this file, with the new code in the how-to

[Niels]

also included the file redirect.tpl witch was missing in a previous zip file.

pay also attention that the path for some of the templates file to the admin pages, was wrong, this is also corrected in the how-to

[Niels]

I have updated the redirect.tpl file, please update you file to the current, it will act faster and more accurate

[Niels]

now considered as final, version is now 1.0.0.

[Niels]

I have uploaded new versions of the included files, you may consider upgrade these

there is no excential changes, so you do not need to do so

[Niels]

I have now updated this mod, new features is that admin may specify witch types of users will see the banners
in total 16 new combinations of rescrict/allow the banners to showen are now posible

e.g. you may make a banner, and set this banner only to show for guest users, or make a banner witch is showen to all users except admin.

new version is 1.0.1.
this upgrade include SQL witch have not (yet) been verifiing working on other than mySQL, please let me know if this will work on your server if you are using another DB type
to upgrade:
add these 2 extra fields to the banner table in the DB

Code: Select all

`banner_level` TINYINT(1) NOT NULL,
`banner_level_type` TINYINT(1) NOT NULL ,

the replace the 3 files
admin_banner.php
banner_edit_body.tpl
banner_lang.php

then edit the page_header.php

Code: Select all

[FIND]
$week_now=create_date('w',$time_now,$board_config['board_timezone']);

[AFTER ADD]
$sql_level= ($userdata['user_id']==ANONYMOUS) ? ANONYMOUS : (($userdata['user_level']==ADMIN) ? MOD : (($userdata['user_level']==MOD) ? ADMIN : $userdata['user_level']));


[FIND]
WHERE banner_active and (banner_timetype='0'

[REPLACE WITH]
WHERE banner_active and IF(banner_level_type,IF(banner_level_type=1,'".$sql_level."'<=banner_level,IF(banner_level_type=2,'".$sql_level."'>=banner_level,'".$sql_level."'<>banner_level)),banner_level='".$sql_level."') and (banner_timetype='0'

now go into admin panel and redefine the new option availble for your banners
