I have some banners that NEVER show up. All of my other banners have thousands of impressions, but there are a few that hardly every recieve any impressions at all. I tested it by refreshing the page probably at least 50 times and the same 3 banners keep showing up. Anyone else notice this?

I see on my site the banner dont rotate. Some times the banners show up and a lot of times they dont.

I look at the banner and all it says is Random Banner: [userid ]

I dont know why but the script is not picking a random banner I hit refreash and same thing if the members banner was off line it would say Random Banner: [userid 3] or what ever the banner # is.

When the banner does not show up and says Random Banner: [userid ] with out a number after the userid that means the banner part of the script is not working.

Does any one have a fix for this I ask dan but he said the banners are showing up but I dont think he hit refreash to see the error

Can some one please help or dan please fix and post a update to download for the fix.

Thanks
John

I posted a similar issue in the forums. My banners don't show at all. I have text ads, but no banners at all. I have no idea why, but i had to put a meesage so users (not that I have many) know the banners aren't working.

I posted the issue over a week ago in the forums and no one has answered it yet!!!

If your banners not working properly then make sure in the settings, "Show banners on site" is marked true.

If you see broken banners then make sure the URL to image and destination URL are correct. If you still see broken banner URLs then there may be an banner that you deleted but its still in the database. In that case you will have to manualy delete the banner details from the database by logging into PhpMyAdmin interface. I had the same problem of a broken banner, i checked the database and there was an entry of a broken banner, i deleted it and things are working fine now.

I hope this helps you all too.

Now i solve the problem.
I opened the file banners.php in \templates\php folder.
This file controls the banners rotation.
The rotation is dependent of the weight of the user.
When the user have no banner, the script put the banner of user id 1 to load.
The user id 1 is the system admin created on installation.
I think that the banners of user 1 is the banner of the therandomizer.net.
In my case i deleted this banner when i put the system to load.
After this my banners don't load well again.
Now i changed the file above to use the banner of one user that have banner when the user have no banner.
The problem now is solved.
I think that if you don't deleted the banner of the therandomizer.net your system is loading this banner more times that the others and the error posted is not occurring.
The lines to change is:

elseif($xxx<1)
{$a1["userid"]='1';}
return $a1["userid"];

if($n<1){$q=db_query("select * from tr_banners where userid='1' order by rand() limit 0,1 ");}

you have to change the red itens

I have been trying to get some kind of answer here for weeks still no answer.

I am not happy spending money on a script that does not work.
The banner rotator in the script does not work.

Is there going to be a fix for the banner rotator. It Does not work!

Help anybody know how to fix it
I look at the banner.php and it allready has the above in it so that does not work for me. I need a real fix one that works.

ANYONE?

Thanks
John
