Hi,

I need a ad rotator for my forum. Its a phpbb forum

Can someone tell me good one?

or a php script rotating em'.

I don't need anything complex i.e: the better performing ones appear more then others

I just need something simple to switch ads on each refresh.

Format of ad will be <a href.......>text</a><img>......</img>

Thank You.

Evilgenius.

Inside the file banner_ads.txt insert links and images seperated by |, like:
<a href.......><img>......</img></a>
|
<a href.......><img>......</img></a>
And use this php script for ad-rotation:

PHP Code:

<?php
$ads = implode('', file ('banner_ads.txt'));
$add_array = explode("|",$ads);
$banner_no = rand(0,(count($add_array)-1));
echo $add_array[$banner_no];
?>

thanks, will try it out shortly.

there is a ad manager for phpbb forums.
Look it up in the phpbb website

There is one even for ads in the post ( after the first and last post ).. it's called Inline Ad

It may be easier for you to just search for "free php script".

Here are some: http://www.hotscripts.com/search/15202651.html

I want to keep the forum clean.
I hate the idea of adding it to the posts.

But the problem is or what i think.

Does php work in .TPL files?

evelgenius why do yo try and invent the wheel when you don't know how it looks like.

There are a lot of MODS on the phpbb website that can help yuo ...
One is called inline banner

I mentioned above i don't want ads in my posts.

I just want to add em' in a few pages.

It think some people do have a problem sometimes...

There is a reasons for asking this.
Getting a script fiddling with it, you learn something, i'm not good at all in php

mr. evilgenius ... if you were make a step back read what i sayd you will see that i only gave the inline banner as an example ...
and i know for a fact that there is a MOD for what you want ... i just don't remember the name .. and i am not going to do you're searching for you.

If you don't know any php ... you might think of paying someone to do you're work. If you are fixed on learning php and doing it you're self you will find that there are people here that can help YOU do it ... but it require's that you are not just a machine and Copy&paste the code you get ... and repost the error codes ... but also use you're brain a little.

Have fun and stop beeing so angry you will get an ulcer.

seems like you're atitude on forums ... is constant

I DIDN'T ASK ANYONE FOR SEARCHING FOR ME!

You really are freaking me out!, I just wanted help with the above code.

I had asked 2 days ago oh phpbb, didn't get any answer thats why asked here.

Why do you come stright to pay someone?

The error you get because the code didn't find that text file. Place the text file in the same directry where this code is. It's a problem with the file path, nothing else.

Tried two things, make a folder named ads placed the ads.txt in it, and changed to path in script to ads/ads.txt - Nooo


Second was that I brought it out,



Agreement .tpl's got the script in it.

you must have included that template somewhere else in another file. And that file is in a different folder. set the path accordind to that file.
Hope this time it will work.

I've given it the full path, www.sitename.com/......./ads.txt
its working now.

Jita many thanksf or the script.
