Problem with VSA - Flash-Image Banner Rotator and vBSEO 3.5.2

Hi,

Until now, vBSEO 3.5.1 and vSA Flash-Image Banner Rotator worked flawlessly on my forum. After the update to 3.5.2, my banners started acting weird. Some times they would show up, other times they would not.

I repeat, this only happened after the upgrade to 3.5.2, before that everything was quite alright. Therefore I conclude this problem is newly introduced by the 3.5.2 upgrade. The mod has otherwise been working flawlessly ever since I upgraded.

I have disabled the banner mod for the time being, but am hoping that it will be possible to get a solution for this, as the lack of being able to host banners is costing me money.

Thanks in advance!

Peter

Hello

I checked code for the modification and there is nothing that vBSEO can interfere with the modification.However you can try changing plugins execution order from 5 to 2 to see if that can have any effect.

Mert,

Thanks for your reply. Which plugin should I look for? The banner one, or one of the vBSEO ones?

Thanks

Peter

You need to check the execution order of Banner modifications plugins.

Mert,

This did not solve the issue. I also tried setting the execution order to 1, but still no luck.

Thanks.

It looks like it's simply not parsing correctly.

if you view source, you will see:

Code:

<style type="text/css">  table.ncode_imageresizer_warning { background: $vboptions[ncode_imageresizer_warnbgcolor];  color: $vboptions[ncode_imageresizer_warntxtcolor];  border: 1px solid $vboptions[ncode_imageresizer_warnbordercolor];  	cursor: pointer; }

all of those $vboptions[] values should be an actual value, not show as the variable which almost points that the plugin is not executing like it should.

Have you tried re-loading the plugin post vbseo 3.5.2 install? it may simply need to be re-imported to rebuild its bitfields, etc.

Thanks Brian,

I tried reloading the banner mod, as well as the image resizer mod (which was what you found). Neither of these actions solved the problem. I also tried disbaling the image resizer mod, and enabling the banner. This still showed the same problem as before.

I did not have any of these issues when I was running vBSEO 3.5.1, so something in the 3.5.2 scripts seems to cause things to go wonky. Judging from the response in the VSA Valter mod thread, I'm also not the only one experiencing this issueafter the vBSEO update.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks.

Peter

I've flagged this for our development team to look into. Should have an update later today.

Hello Peter ,


Can you please create a support ticket and supply login information so we can check

Mert,

Will do tonight. I'm at work at the moment with no access to my board.

As a sidenote, I also experienced another minor thing after the upgrade. I also run vBGallery from Photopost, which adds a tab to the navbar. For some reason that dissappeared as well. I verified the plugin was running properly, and ended up fixing it by changing the place where the tab was supposed to show in the navbar. It then reappeared, and when I moved it back to its original location, that also did the trick.

The problem with the banners is slightly different though, as the code does seem to parse properly. I just see an empty placeholder for the banners. Sometimes they appear, sometimes they do not. When I look at the code for the banner plugin, it all seems to properly parse, so I really have no idea where to look for it.

Cheers,

Peter

You da man, Mert!

For those interested in what the cause of this was. The hack always required the default banner directory to be listed as /forums/cyb_banners. vBSEO apparently adds /forums by default now, causing the banners to be sought in /forums//forums/cyb_banners.

Thanks for great support

Peter
