Having exactly the same problem. Please let me know if you were able to solve it.

Im actually thinking of managing banners with phpAdsNew instead in case I dont find a solution. Although I like ArtBanners.

ya i sorted it..
i think there is a problem with the parameter passing therefore you need to hack the php file:
for example:
in

mod_artbanners1.php

change

Code:

  	$count = (@$params->count > 0)?$params->count:"1";
  	$banners = (@$params->banners)?$params->banners:"";
  	$categories = (@$params->categories)?$params->categories:"";

to

Code:

  	$count = (@$params->count > 0)?$params->count:"1";
  	$banners = (@$params->banners)?$params->banners:"";
  	$categories = (@$params->categories)?$params->categories:"";
	$categories = "1";

ie setting the category by hardcoding as opposed to parameters...

let me knwo if works

and add to the rep

This hack works just fine

Anyone know if Artbanners will be released for 4.5.1?

I think you are right there is no later version.
It´s good the hack works, phpAdsNew is good but a little bit too complex for my site!

This is a useful hack to get one ad to open in a _blank window and one ad to open in _self if anyone is interested!

Artbanners redirect

Hi, the hack works fine, except for the parametersettings!
This must be done hardcoded!
One option I like to have is bannerrotation. You can rotate banners with Artbanners but when you having 5 banners and the countparameter is set to 5 the banners don't rotate anymore. I want all 5 to be visible and rotate!

The code is now like:

$count = (@$params->count > 0)?$params->count:"4";
$banners = (@$params->banners)?$params->banners:"";
$categories = (@$params->categories)?$params->categories:"";
$categories = "3";
if ($categories != "" || $banners != "") {

$start = "<font></font><table width=\"120\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\" style=\"border:0px solid black;\"><td>";
$end = "</td></table>";
$content .= substr(showBanner( $categories, $count, $start, $end, $banners ), 6);

Anyone got a clue

hi for all...
I coded your hack but, take a look what display me:

Quote:

Warning: module2(/home/########/www/modules/mod_banners.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/###########/www/includes/frontend.html.php on line 119

and

Quote:

Warning: module2(): Failed opening '/home/#############/www/modules/mod_banners.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/lib/php/') in /home/##############/www/includes/frontend.html.php on line 119

Some ideia plz...

Ronny · 24.10.2004, 23:48

Did you installed Artbanners?

gene · 27.10.2004, 22:51

I am running into a problem running ArtBanners under 4.5.1a. I updated the with the fix identified above, but I can't get the ArtBanners Module to list more than one banner. My parameters are set to:
banners=1,2,3
count=2

but only one banner posts at a time...I worked fine under 4.5 1.0.9....any thoughts?

TIA
