    adding a banner to the left side

    Posted 18 years 2 months ago
    • I am a joomla novice but really like it. But, I am having some trouble. I would like to add a small rectangle banner ad (that would rotate) to the right side of my page (mactopia template). I really have no idea how to do this. Tried a few things, but I really seemed to be going in the wrong direction. Can someone help or at least point me to a link that can help with this. Is there a component that would work or do I need to start from scratch?

      The website that I am working on is http://www.ilherf.com

      Thanks,
      Jay

    • This method causes the image to refresh randomly each time the user changes page.

      You could create a user module and use the technique outlined here (with some modifications) to achieve your goal;

      www.rockettheme.com/component/option,com...8.msg32040/#msg32040

      Assuming you read the above and set up the rotating images fetaure, here are the steps;

      1. In Administration, click on modules--> site modules
      2. Click New and give your module a name, position and set to published
      3. In the content field under custom output, switch to source view mode.
      4. Paste the following;

      <div style="background: transparent url( www.yourdomain.com/InsertPathHere/rotating_images/rotate.php ) no-repeat scroll 50% 0pt;"> </div>

      5. Modify the url on the above to point to the location of the rotating images directory you have set up.
      6. You may need to tweak the div code above to insert size info etc.
      7. Save your module and check to see how things look on your site front end.

      There are likely multiple ways to do this. That's just one!

      Enjoy
