You have the tutorial for getting the banners to show on the vBaCMPS index page. Unfortunately, only the wrapper is showing after I followed those instructions.

Also, there isn't a similar option in vBaGallery. Any idea how to make the banners show there?

To make it show in vbaGAllery, you will need to add a new script called (whatever the gallery script page is called. Cant recall off the top of my head). Just make sure its set to 'use master'.

Ill have a play with the vbacmps setup. I think I just had to add a module or something. Ill get back to you in the morning with the answer

I did add a script called adv_gallery but perhaps that's not it. I also just tried a script named "gallery" as that's the script referenced in my dynamic navbar along with adv_index. That didn't work.

I also added the GAB_ads to the cmps gallery page but there was no change.

Just checking to see if you've made any progress with this? I still haven't gotten mine to show on the home page or gallery. Also, I haven't figured out how to add it to a module in CMPS.

The reason why only the wrapper is showing up is cause under GAB settings you have the Relative UL path to banners folder( geek/gab/images/ ? - note no leading slash!!!) set to the default geek/gab/images/ and it needs to be the full url http://www.yousite.com/forum_dir/geek/gab/images/. Make sure you follow the tutorial first though...

The problem with this is.. I can't get redirect to work properly on CMPS which is outside of forum_dir, so if I edit gab_redirect.php so the url points to the correct file on CMPS, the ones in the forum will stop functioning.. more hacking on the GAB script part is needed I guess.

In the gallery I haven't yet got it to work..

**Bump**

Am still looking for a way to add a banner to a module and have a banner display on my gallery pages.

I easily got banners on vba gallery by doing the following:

Ad a new script:

gallery_index

Set it to use master

Edit your cateories to make sure that the script is active.

Also, in your gab settings, I changed the Relative UL path to banners folder setting to an absolute value.

Let me know if this helps!
