CMS Made Simple Forums

I've noticed that the Banners module is no longer being updated in the development area so it can't be used anymore with CMS 1.2.3. Is there any other modules that people have created to take over this one yet? I'm looking for a banner module with pretty urls if possible....

Thanks 

Hi,

I also run into that problem so now im trying to display the banners myself i will let you know when im done, maybe not in the niced way but it will work..

I'm using the banners module on a site running v.1.2.3. Haven't had any trouble with it so far.

yes i had an error when i tryed to display the banner on my website..

Now im trying to rewrite the action.default.php file so banners will be shown on the website

The only things that i have to build are:

1. update the db when the banner is clicked
2. Max number of clicks check
3. when you create a banner the end date is not saved (nice to have)

i will see if i can send you the code when im done

You could try getting the latest svn version of the banners module, I did fix some date stuff with it the other day.

oke i will try that than

Edit:

Oke i have downloaded the files from this location: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/scm/?group_id=16

then clicked -> [Download The Nightly SVN Tree Snapshot]

In the admin the tabs work better, it remebers where you are and the given end date is saved in the db 

The only problem still is showing the banner on the website 

i still get an error ERROR: Could not find category (no rows) error in database!

I have edited the action.default.php and printed the value of $params['category'] in my case this was the output 'home'

i think is we strip out of the string we are there..

Found another small bug

If you try to save a banner that never ends you get a database error, so now you always have to set an end date

Okay, I just updated banners, did some testing, changed the licensing, bumped the version, etc, etc, etc.  and all seems fine to me. 

Once the translators catch up I'll throw out another release.

oke tanks

Let us know when the new release is there

I would be really really grateful if the new Banners module would be downloadable as a tar.gz file next to the xml file. Thanks in advance.
