Banners

[Webfriend]

Hi,
I did a search here, and came up empty? banner and rotation. I coded a banner in on index, but unless I use a script like phpads? I can't seam to find a way to add banners or rotate them? Any thing I've missed.

IndexU doesn't offer any type of advertising system such as banner rotating.

My apologies, you asked if there was anything you missed on a way to add banners and then got snotty with your reply accusing me of increasing my post count. So here for your enjoyment is your answer to the question never asked in your first post but *****ed about in your second.

A lot of people enjoy the complication called phpadsnew. It's great for selling ads based on multiple schema, but I use a much simpler banner rotator called phpledads. You can find that script at the url below

Ledscripts.com - Expert Programming and Consulting

Also, read this thread on how I got phpledads to work with indexu.

And by the way, PLONK

Damn, that is really good insight and writing...!!! I wish I could think that good and write that well.

I'm just a poor bean counter envious of the word merchants of the world. that be you...

as for me, I'm just increasing my post count with this post. I figure by the time I get to 3,000 I'll be golden... at least according to Webfriend.

Bruceper, apologies accept. Now that was a bright and informative answer to a question, although your correct, in that my question was vague. I was looking for an alternative, as I figured, the script didn't allow for banner placement. But I could have been wrong.
esm,this is a pretty good script, so I don't think it will be me, to get you to 3,000

"phpadsnew" (new name is Openads) you can build one. Setting something and you can set the advertisements or banners into any page. Just edit your template and it's easy.
If you need help, please pm me.

when i get to 3,000 i'm hanging up my keyboard.

i think there are a number of javascript files that will rotate banners. but javascript of this type will eventually suffer from a size limitation.

or you can just use javascript to run a php file and return the information.

something like

<script type="text/javascript" src="banner.php"></script>

banner.php could be any valid php code including using mysql. banner.php just has to return valid javascript code.

i use this technique to return simple stuff or load a large section of page. just place the above code whereever on the page.

I haven't used it with INDEXU but i would say that it should work. Not sure about how Smarty would affect it. it works just fine withe template parser that I use.
