Banner not showing.


Guest

Recommended Posts

:cry: I've setup two banners to be shown, but after configuring them they don't show up.

 

I've made sure I've ticked the green lights on the banners, but to no avail. Which files should I look at to see if a line or command is missing?

 

Cheers,

 

Neil :wink:

Buzzin!! :D

 

Just needed to put the Banner Group to the name 468x50, even though the banners are of not this size.

 

Now works a treat,

 

Cheers.

yeps ... Banner Group names by banner size are great but then confuse one into thinking there is a true relationship there in the code.

 

It's just a name ... but an important name ... 8)

mine aren't showing either.

 

I have a banner in the 468x50 group - it is active and scheduled to run yesterday with no expiration.

 

checked the database as well and it is listed correctly there also

 

it is not showing up however.... now what?

 

on Feb Milestone release

Did you try changing the date to day before yesterday and see if it starts?

 

That is just to rule out a date issue.

 

Then, be sure the Banner Group is spelled identical to the Group name.

 

Then, make sure there is an image loaded and that you are not getting blank or missing banners in the footer as you move from page to page.

okay this has got be a braindead moment or something - I have tried deleting and adding the banners via the admin and directly into the database via phpmyadmin. I have tried both text and images as well

 

Can someone please complete the following fields as if they were adding a banner in the admin?

 

Banner Title: * Required

Banner URL:

Banner Group: 468x50, or enter a new banner group below

 

 

Image: , or enter local file below

/home/www/html/images/

 

Image Target (Save To): /home/www/html/images/

 

HTML Text:

 

Scheduled At:

(dd/mm/yyyy)

 

Expires On:

(dd/mm/yyyy) , or at

impressions/views.

 

 

 

Is the banner name allowed to be anything?

Is the banner URL where the banner will lead you to when clicked?

Does the group always have to be 468x50?

 

 

My folders are CHMOD okay and the image does upload to the right location just doesn't show.

 

PLEASE HELP ME!!!! :? I have done this successfully before and it just isn't working now.....

 

 

ps - am on MS1 release
