Someone know a script/method that with cookies/php hide a link for 24 hours after a click ?

Do you mean to hide it from the visitor who clicked on it? Haven't heard of that...

I have only seen this in an app called BannerAdsNew. The app is for displaying abnners/text links/ affiliate links etc and they can be configured to show based on IP, geography, day of week, wekk ends only, time interval etc.

I think this may be overkill for what you had in mind BUT it can be used to display just about any image type including flash, includes extensive 'click' monitoring and be used to 'feed' banners/links to multiple sites from the single installation of the app.

I found this script:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

I have insert the HEAD on includes/.../custom_header.php and BODY on theme/.../forums/overall_header.tpl

The banner shows correctly but doesn't remove it after click... I think that probably have problem with read/write the cookie, someone can help me ?

Another way: "using $_SESSION".

Someone ever used it ? PHPNuke can make me "work" on superglobals variables ?

I found a bug in the original script: when you are logged as admin the script doesn't funciont as wanted.

Why ? Because the script creator searching for a cookie string within the string 'ad' (for advertising) but when you logged as admin the cookie string 'ad' is in 'admin' too :p

I never programmed in javascript so if someone have a fix for this tell me. Smile
