Title: banner sizes and display
Post by: xmanhattan on July 30, 2009, 16:49:45

Hello all,

As we know there are a variety of banner sizes.  Is there any way to control which banners can be displayed, for example a horizontal 600 x 120 banner looks fine on the "right" side of a page but it is not a good idea for the top or bottom of the center of a page? 

The same for vertical banners, e.g. 468 x 60 for the right side.

Is there any clue to coding a php routine or are the banners completely random as to where they are placed?

Thanks

that is easy...

you have  to:
-make copies of banner module
-assign to various positions the copies
-assign different clients to each banner-module copy 

the trick here is to use clients no as clients but as different size banners..
rename it in your mind(or in real)  to lets say...
client1=468x90
clent2=120x120

and you are uploading  banners and assign to the correct  client(specific-size) .....

--------------------------

i use it in sites... i always name banners with clients-name-size  so i wont mix up campaigns
and assign them accordingly to the correct category(i am not telling it client any more)... i don't manage clients, but categories(position)....

when i am going to components>banners>manage clients i see something like this:
120x120 square right
468x90 inset-pos banner
468x90 top banners
768x90 footer banner

etc....

my banners names look like: ksnet-120x120... ksnet-468x90...othercustomer-768x90  so to be easy to manage them

see? you have only to forget the word client
