This module allows you to define one or more panels that appear on every public and member page of the website (but not admin pages). These panels can be horizontal or vertical and placed anywhere in your website layout using one of the panels already defined in your layout file. The banner advertising panel can only be placed in a content box that is allowed by your template and layout.
Ad panels can be vertically oriented (for example, under a left-side menu) or horizontally oriented (for example, above the page footer).
You should determine the size you want for each ad and ensure that every image an advertiser or sponsor provides matches that size. A typical size for vertically oriented ads is 150px wide by 600px high. A typical size for horizontally oriented ads is 600px wide by 150px high.
You can also have more than one ad panel in an area; the default size would then be adjusted to ensure that there is room for the panels to sit side-by-side or one above the other.
Ads are displayed randomly based on the number of ads uploaded to an ad panel. One way to control display frequency is to have more than one ad panel. The first panel could have a small number of ads so each one is displayed more often; let’s call these the “gold” sponsors. The second panel could have more ads so each one is displayed less often; let’s call these the “silver” sponsors.
You also have the ability to determine the panels displayed for specific custom pages. You may choose to do this based on the content of the page and ads or on the layout of your page.
