  • More than one banner in inset banner area?

    Posted 17 years 2 weeks ago
    • This is not really a specific template question...... more of an operational question about Joomla.

      Is it possible to show more than one banner at a time in the banner area. I have an area 110 pix tall and about 900 pix wide.

      I would like to split this up into three 300 x 110 areas? Can this be done......?

      Would I have to do custom coding? (I'm not that versed in coding)

      Suggestions?

    • If your banner is 110 x 900, you could create 110 x 900 .png files divided into thirds.

      That way, you would need only one banner module in the banner position.

      Lots of work on the .png editing side, zero on the Joomla side.

    • The above method without any extra xhtml/css to divide up the areas and apply separate linked areas, will only allow the one big image to have one link.

      A (maybe) easier option is to create a new user module, and then in the WYSIWYG edtitor, create a table with three cells, then adding in the three images with links around them. Publish this module to the module you call your "banner area".

      Hope that helps.

    • you could also create a mod and drop in a scripted image rotator with each image having a link .....

    • Just as a follow up......I decided the best way to fix my situation was to put a table in the area for the banner. ( modded the template to fix this)

      I put a table in the inset area with the class="inset". The table was one row with three columns.

      Then in each cell it just made the code inset1, inset2, inset3. After that I multiplied the modules (and module positions).

      It actually works good. I only have one banner so far, so I don't get all the benefits, but I tested the method, and it works great. It even tracks clicks.

      I appreciate all the suggestions. It just was something that needed to be coded, to work right.
