  • Newbie Question:

    I installed PostNuke and added an advertising client and one banner w/ unlimited impressions. The banner is a 60x260 GIF. All seems to be O.K.
    Q: What do I need to do to get banners to display on the website? I'm missing a step (or two) somewhere.

    Thanks
    John
  • depends - if you set your bannerid to 1 or 2, then it depends on your theme to display the banners. If you set it to 3 or 4 you need to create a banner block through Administration > Blocks to display the banners.

  • i built my theme based on a XTE sample, and using banner id1 or 2 does not make the ad show up. I am using id 3 and added a block myself just fine. But if I want to use id 1 and 2 in theme, where can I find an example of how to implemnt this?
  • The pnbannerdisplay plugin for xanthia can display any banner id you like. Becuase it can't be determined how you setup your banners you may need to make a little change. To add a banner in a Xanthia theme use

    -Mark</banner>
  • i want to add banners into my Pagesetter tpls so i can have a rt column that includes info related to the article directly within it, and then hang my ads under that, and then have EZComments be underneath both center and rt col...

    I tried adding the code you describe above mark and it works fine, but Ive noticed that there seems to be a caching issue where if i reload the page it will always shwo the first ad served from the block and not pull in the other ads in that rotation. When i use that same id within a normal block, the ad changes upon refresh as desired. What do I need to do to make it so a new ad is called when i reload a previously viewed page when i add the ad zone directly into a Pagesetter template rather than calling it from a block? (Pagesetter uses pnRender/XTE BTW)...
  • I want to place a banner at the very top of the page with SeaBreeze. I have created the advertiser and banner and see the banner in Banner Admin (type=1) but don't see anything at the top of the page.

    What do I need to do? Thanks in advance! Glen
  • Glen,
    It's best to not tack your request on to the end of an existing thread, more likely to get lost that way. I think this has been addressed before as well, but you need to edit line 117 where it says pnBannerDisplay() to be pnBannerDisplay('1')
