Banner Ad Box

[zher0e]

Hi Guys,

 

I would like to build a box on the right that allows me to put in banner ads.

The box has to be empty with only picture and a link only.

How should i go about doing it?

 

E.g. if i want my box to be called 'sponsorbox.php'

 

[1.]

Upload 'sponsorbox.php' to /catalog/includes/boxes

 

[2.]

Insert the line below in 'column_right.php'

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'sponsorbox.php');

 

[3.]

Open the english file (catalog/includes/languages/english.php) and add the following

 

// Banner ads Link (boxes/sponsorbox.php)

define('BOX_HEADING_SPONSORBOX', 'Sponsorbox');

 

[4.]

Now i am stuck in this step as what to write in the sponsorbox.php

 

my basic code:

 

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SPONSORBOX);

 

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',

'src="http://127.0.0.1/catalog/images/ads/right_banner.gif">

 

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

 

 

I would really appreciate it if any of you guys out there could help me with this.

 

Cheers

Cheers mate!

 

Banner-ad-in-a-box V1.0 was great indeed. However i still have problems with the banners not showing.

 

can someone take a look at my codes and see if i've made a mistake?

 

[advertisement.php]

 

<?php

if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', BOX_AD_BANNER_TYPE)) {

?>

<tr>

<td>

<?php

$bannerstring = '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'ads/right_banner.gif' . </td></tr>;

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',

'text' => BOX_AD_BANNER_HEADING

);

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, true);

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',

'text' => $bannerstring

);

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

</td>

</tr>

<?php

}

?>
