Title: rotating ads?
Post by: geek4rent on July 16, 2006, 10:37:59 PM
first off great mod I love it...now to my question......

I have Entropy Banner on my web site...where ya put code in to have rotating banner ads....I tried using this with this addon but it will not work...I just put the code for the banner manager in the ad area...is there a way I can have rotation ads with this addon.....lets say at the bottom of the page.....and after i set up the ads then each refresh they would change to the next ad?

This mod does not work as a rotation system.

if you are using version 2.0, you can have multiple ad codes, and it will randomly choose which ad code to display

What do you mean it will randomly choose which ad, it does that by itself?

I have 2.0 installed on my forum.

I think what is meant by that is every time the page is refreshed it will show a different ad as long as you have both ads with the same settings.

if you have multiple ad codes set to appear in the same area, a function randomly chooses which ad to display

I hope you dont mind me saying something however I used this code in it and it worked fine every time the page refreshed it was a different banner. before I realized that if you put more then one check iin the same place it rotated them if that makes sense.

<!-- Begin
var how_many_ads = 3;
var now = new Date()
var sec = now.getSeconds()
var ad = sec % how_many_ads;
ad +=1;

If choose html, it doesn''t show anything
If choose PHP, it shows
QuoteParse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/cytelbiz/public_html/insinyur/komunitas/Sources/Load.php(1724) : eval()'d code(387) : eval()'d code on line 1
