Good question left unanswered. Can this be done?

Re: xoops banner system into a block?

What did you try?

Try making a new custom block of the PHP type and as the contents, write this:
echo xoops_getbanner();

most definitely. Create a custom block with the following info:

Content:
global $xoopsConfig;
if ($xoopsConfig['banners'] == 1) {
    //Display Banner
    echo (xoops_getbanner());
} else {
    return false;
}

Content Type: PHP Script
Cache lifetime: No Cache

This block honors the 'Use Banner Ads?' setting in System -> Preferences -> General Settings.

I don't see the need for the if statement, though. Crackerboy clearly wants to show banners - and if he didn't, he could just set the block to not be visible in blocks admin

Excellent! This is what I'm trying to do on my site. How do I center the banner rather than have it left justify in the banner block, also how do I change it so that cliccking the banner does not open a new browser window but works in the same window?

How do we go about centering the banner in a custom block??

I am using this code:
global $xoopsConfig;
if ($xoopsConfig['banners'] == 1) {
    //Display Banner
    echo (xoops_getbanner());
} else {
    return false;
}


The banners show as normal which is great but the are left aligned. To have them centered would be a needed improvement. I tried to
but this did not work.

Does anyone kow how to center the banners in a custom block??

Thanks in advance,
Marty.

Try this:

echo ('
');
global $xoopsConfig;
if ($xoopsConfig['banners'] == 1) {
    //Display Banner
    echo (xoops_getbanner());
} else {
    return false;
}
echo ('
');


As far as making the link open in the same window, I'm not sure there is a way to do that without editing core files.

Hope this helps.

That worked a treat JMorris I don't want the ads to open in same window so your snippet is perfect for me.

Thankyou
Marty.
