Hi All,

I'm thinking of modifying the XOOPS Banner management so that there are two distinct types of banners with appropriate smarty codes. This is so that you can separate horizontal and vertically aligned banners for display on your site. I.e horizontal (such as default XOOPS banners) in the headerbar and center column, and vertical banners in the left and right columns. I know you can just use Phpadsnew to do all this, but as good as it is, I'm never going to want/need serious banner management on my site, so I thought a sligt modification of the existing banner management would do the trick.

At first I was just going to run a second instance of the existing banners section, but I think that will be a bit too hacky as it will mean having two of everything (clients, stats, etc...) where I only want two types of banners.

At the moment I'm only exploring the idea, and was windering if anyone had any tips/suggestions/ideas for going about this?
