Javascript issue with ad banner rotator Empty Javascript issue with ad banner rotator

Post by Raine Tensai June 11th 2010, 11:47 am

Hello!
I'm having two problems:

1)I'm using a javascript code to have rotating adbanners on my forum. It all looks right, but when I click on the banners to go to the web pages they are linked to, it just brings me back to my forum homepage.

See here: http://yaoiverse.lovediscussion.net/index.htm

Is there anyway to fix this? In the code I clearly have the banners pointing elsewhere.

2) My second problem. I've got the code for the banner in the homepage message HTML box. Where would I move it to to have it show on all pages, not just the homepage?


I have attached the code I'm using. Also, I'm using phbb version 2, and no, I won't change to one of the other versions, because they have major pitfalls.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Banner 1 is linked to your homepage.
You need to edit the links[1] address.

Banner 2 is linked to Google and works fine.
(this includes a Google image for demonstration)
Code:

var i = 1;
banner1= new Image();
banner1.src = "http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab280/RaineTensai/Temp/Untitled-2.jpg";
banner2 = new Image();
banner2.src = "http://www.google.com/logos/worldcupopen10-hp.gif"; //you may add as many as needed
links = new Array
links[1] = "http://www.Yaoiverse.com"
links[2] = "http://www.google.com" //be sure to ad numbers consecutively
description = new Array
description[1] = "Yaoiverse Home"
description[2] = "Google" //be sure to ad message numbers consecutively
function startTime(){
var time= new Date();
hours= time.getHours();
mins= time.getMinutes();
secs= time.getSeconds();
closeTime=hours*3600+mins*60+secs;
closeTime+=15;  // How many seconds until the next banner rotation
Timer();
}
function Timer(){
var time= new Date();
hours= time.getHours();
mins= time.getMinutes();
secs= time.getSeconds();
curTime=hours*3600+mins*60+secs
if (curTime>=closeTime){
if (i < 2){  // The number 2 is the amount of banners that you have above - adjust accordingly
i++;
document.banner.src = eval("banner" + i + ".src");
}
else{
i = 1;
document.banner.src = eval("banner" + i + ".src");
}
startTime();
}
else{
window.setTimeout("Timer()",1000)}
}
function clickLink(){
top.location = links[i]
}
function descript(){
window.status = description[i]
}
// -->
</script>

<a href="" onClick="clickLink(); return false;" onMouseOver="descript(); return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=''"><img src="http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab280/RaineTensai/Temp/Untitled-2.jpg" border=0 name="banner"></a>

No, banner 1 is linked to "http://www.yaoiverse.com" which is actually just a 404 error page at the moment because I haven't put anything up yet, but instead, when I click on banner 1 it takes me back to my forum. Just now I tried changing links[1] to www.myspace.com and it STILL takes me back to the forum. Mad I don't see any errors in the code, so I don't get it!

Thanks for the help though, I appreciate you taking the time, and yes, banner 2 is working now, though I changed nothing, and it definitely wasn't working before.

Any clue how to get it to show on all pages and not just the homepage?

Okay, I found a code that appears to work. Now I still need to know how to get it to show on all pages not just the homepage. Thanks in advance.
