Allow the vender banners to be rotated on the top of the forum

We actually have this in testing right now. Its a very simple solution but it should address your need. Once we have it tested we'll email all the Vendor Tools customers and let them know about it.

Thanks

Any ETA on this?

I'm just sending a build to Nathan for testing against vBulletin 3.8.X versions. After he gives his ok on it and we have the installation steps documented I'll ask him to send you a version to try.

Thanks

Thanks

I know you guys are busy with you updates on the garage etc but could really do with this feature

Started testing on the 3.8 version. A few little issues to clean up, but it works.

It doesn't explain banner location in the demo video, but these banners do get used on the site as "ads" already correct..?
You're just discussing how they can rotate, so you can place multiple banners in one spot.?

I just want to confirm that im understanding correctly.

Also just an idea, but i think a video strictly for the vendors might be a cool thing to have, so they can watch it without having to watch all the admin stuff. :)

The video was created before the banner rotation feature was created.

Basicaly the way it wiorks is there are multiple areas one can place a banner. On each page refresh or view one of the banners from an active vendor is placed in the desired location. If you were to use multiple locations on the same page then the same banner will displayed in all locations.

This site MiniTorque.com currently has the banner rotation module in place using the below the nav bar slot.
