Before the banner rotating plugin got updated to 1.4, I used Nickman's "Random Slogans" plugin to rotate banner ads on my advertising site. Here's how...

Step One
Of course you need to download the plugin from HERE

Step 2
Activate the plugin in the acp>plugins (as instructed by the download)

Step 3
Completing step 2 will provide you with a new configuration setting in acp>configuration called "Random Slogan Settings". (see attached)

Using this setting, simply insert your banner codes into the space provided.
For example...in the attachment below, I entered

Don't forget to separate each banner code with a <>

Step 4
Now that you have all your codes inserted, we just have to make one small template edit wherever you want the banners to be displayed. In my case I chose the Header. So keeping with my example, open Templates & Style>templates>"your theme">Header Templates>header

I chose to display mine below the <navigation> tag. So look for

and add below

The final result looks like this...





It sounds more difficult than it actually is. However, being an advertisement forum, I needed something that, at the time, wasn't available. So I had to make due with what was available. Thank heavens for the Random Slogans plugin!!!

** I've used it in the same way to display random pictures and jokes...so it works for a whole lot more than just slogans***

Hey, Nice Tutorial.

I noticed your using my theme called BlazeBB in the screenshots there :)

Thanks.

Yes, it's a nice theme. I use it on a couple of my boards.
