Positions
Any number of banners may be included in the template. Locations are controlled by the standard module position procedures. Banner modules may then be placed into any given position. If banner modules are of specific sizes or for specific clients, this may also be done. Just create a copy of the default Banners module and set the copy's properties appropriately.
Some of the properties are:
- Title
- Position - advert1, banner
- Access level - public, registered
- Banner client - comma seperated list of id numbers
- Module class suffix - class for CSS
Add a banner for a client
- Create you banner to a standard dimension and save it to either a GIF or PNG format
- Open the Media Manager
- Navigate to the 'banners' folder
- Upload your banner image
- Open the Banner Manager
- menu > Components > Banners > Manage Banners
- Enter the properties appropriate to your banner
- Select the image for your banner
- Save
