Hey all,

I'm looking for a module that can manage a large number of flash advertisements. It would be just like the XOOPS banner system except it would publish it's content to a block.

It wouldn't need a "client" system where you sign up clients and then add ads to their "account" or anything. All it would need to do is add advertisements to the database.

Features:

- Can accept HTML/Flash
- No fixed banner size (or if it has to be limited, 120x120)
- Randomly choose an advertisement each time the user loaded the page
- Cacheable so it's only updated every -x- minutes.
- Select number of ads to show in the block

I think that about covers it. It doesn't need to be fancy at all, just able to handle the above.

I plan on using this to rotate content advertisements for content within my own site. For example, I'll make a flash for a map I have reviewed and when you click the ad it will take you to the review. Basically I'm looking for an in-site promotional block.

Thanks for any help, getting this in a few days would be great but I know everybody's busy and nobody's really getting paid for this, so seeing it happen at all would be wonderful.

have a look at this , it may do what you want. I'm using it in a custom theme i'm developing and it works well :)

Much thanks!

All I had to do was add the Flash mime-type and put the url into a <object> tag instead. It's also much easier to manage since I don't need to have a database counting stats, managing clients and click counts, etc. This also saves the server some workload too

This is the perfect solution for some simple rotations!

Thanks again,
Nick

What about this module?

Didn't look at it yet but might be an option.

I also remember seeing a banner rotating script written in php that was only a handful of lines. Seems like it'd be easy to do.. ? Try google for banner rotating script or something?

Glad it worked out for you Nick :)

I use PHPAdsNew on my site at:

www.guitargearheads.com

It runs all my banners and will support flash etc.

It is really easy to insert the php code into a block as well. I just inserted the code in place of the XOOPS banner code and then 4x into block for the particular zones.

My advertisers love it because they can monitor their ads for effectiveness.
