Default Forums..

Hey I am trying to get my own vbulletin forums setup.... I think this place is really cool and I thought I would mess around with this a little myself!

I have run into a slight stump though....


I have an ad banner on the left of my forums but it starts at the top instead of where the forums start...


Any suggestions to fix this?


Here is a pic:

How considerate of you to post that you already decided to fix it by just inserting a transparent image to push the rest down, before anyone were to waste their time trying to sort out that mess of table code and have to discover when they go look at your site halfway through that the situation has already been resolved.

Brains is one of the few folks on here, as well as NOSJohn, that works with vB on a daily basis. Brains is busy as **** working with this site.

You'll get a much more timely response on the vB forums. Just a suggestion.

The banner code is custom written by me. Nothing fancy to it, just stuff the URLs in a table and query 'em. Order by rand() .

Nah, looks like something similar can be accomplished with just PHP, no SQL required.

Yup, both would work just fine

wakerider: database table, not HTML table...

Damn... I have only ever worked with html... I just know the basics with vB...


Anyway I followed ACW's link and got this code:

Code:
<html>
<body>
Check out these links:<br>
<?
$codes = array(
    "<a href=webclass.ru><img src=banner1.gif></a>",
    "<a href=google.com><img src=banner2.gif></a>",
    "<a href=yahoo.com><img src=banner3.gif></a>"
);

shuffle($codes);
$i=0;
$number=2; while(list(, $code) = each($codes)) {
       if ($i>=$number) { break; }
       echo "$code";
       echo '<br>';
       $i++;
}
?>
</body></html>


Now what exactly do I do with it?

I tried putting it in the header and that definetly did not work! (It made a big mess on my page!)

Do I need to make a seperate .php file and upload it to my server?

If thats what I am supposed to do.... What does the code that goes in the header look like?

I am really sorry for asking all these questions... But I am just soo new at this! And it seems you are the only guys that know about this! Thank you Thank you Thank you
