Hi all, thank you for this admod
I have installed smfads onto default template of 2.0rc1-1 and also installed openX adserver onto my server... I am having trouble getting the invocation code to make anything happen and wonder if openx is a bit bulky for my needs...
I am after a lightweight banner rotator for ads that I create myself. I'm not using google ads....(just plain jpeg images nothing fancy...
So does anyone have any experience of openX with smf ads and would they be willing to do some paid work to help me set up a couple of test ads on my forum
Or, is there an alternative to openX that is a bit less complicated that will allow me to upload and rotate my own ads?
I found this code at http://javascript.internet.com/text-effects/banner-ads.html that sounds like what you want. Here is how I implemented it. I didn't have much experience (at the time) with Javascript but since it is very "english friendly" I was able to adapt it for my use.
