Templates with $GAB_ads[x] in them:
Styleid 1 Title postbit_legacy contains $GAB_ads[0]
Styleid 1 Title postbit_legacy contains $GAB_ads[1]
Styleid 1 Title postbit_legacy contains $GAB_ads[2]
Styleid 1 Title postbit_legacy contains $GAB_ads[3]
Styleid 1 Title postbit_legacy contains $GAB_ads[4]
Styleid 1 Title postbit_legacy contains $GAB_ads[5]
Styleid 1 Title postbit_legacy contains $GAB_ads[6]
gab folder check
GAB directory looks valid and I can write to it!
I'm using postbit_legacy for the ad code:

Quote:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="left">Sponsored Links</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">
$GAB_ads[0] $GAB_ads[1] $GAB_ads[2] $GAB_ads[3] $GAB_ads[4] $GAB_ads[5] $GAB_ads[6]
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>
$spacer_close

</if>
However, the one ad I added till now doesn't show up anywhere in the forum.

Thanks!

I havent trawled through your debug yet, however remember that the postbits are created in a class and therefore $GAB_ads is out of scope.

Try this (havent tested it though):

Create a new plugin for:
post_process_complete
with the follwing code:
PHP Code:
global $GAB_ads
That should at least put it into scope

The other thing I noticed when I browsed quickly through the debug is that the only output you will get is for $GAB_ads[0] as that is the only one that has a billboard assigned to it.

Give those a go and give me a shout.

Ok, I added it to postbit_display_complete (vbulletin hooks) and it works! Thanks!

The Ads are running now but only one at a time (rotating).

Example: http://www.musiker-board.de/vb/synth...und-frage.html

I'd like to have 3 banners there (all rotating within each other).

I guess it got something to do with the billboards.

Could you gimme a short HowTo? Under Scripts I actually don't see the postbit_display_complete I added before (under vBulletin hooks).

Thanks!

Just add another 2 billboards with a similar configuration. Edit the Master Script and put the 2 new ones in (i.e. under $GAB_ads[1] and $GAB_ads[2])

HTHs
