I'm not sure what to put in the scheduled event for that.

Thanks

The product was predisposed to send email. It is a feature which has been asked, but is currently not implemented.

When it will be ready to use, the upgrade of a future release will add the task during installation.

ok cool..

thanks for that.. I thought i read something like that but then saw the email option and got confused (which isn't hard to do these days for me)

very nice Mod btw. Runs like a charm. I did accidentally delete the Google Ad that was there that would help you.. Can you send it to me to add back in?

Thanks again.

Hi,

I'm sorry to ask this, but how could you actually make the banners to rotate?

For instance, we have a place for a banner on the right side, and want to share that place among 8 advertisers, each one to be shown on a random basis.

Is this possible to do with this Rotating Banner System?

Thank you!

This one does rotate. But only with page refreshes, not automatically via AJAX.

Hi Videx,

Thanks for your reply.

Nop, it is not rotating. I've uploaded 2 banners and it is showing up always the first one, every time I refresh the page or load a different page.

Or perhaps am I doing anything wrong?

For the first banner, I did this:

Rotating Banner System - Manage Banners - New

then I enter the details and Save. The ID is 4

Then I go to the template and place this, where I want the banner to show up:

@vbbanners_vertical@

Then for the second banner I do exactly the same and the ID is 5, but this time I do not place the "@vbbanners_vertical@" because one is already there. Or should I put "@vbbanners_vertical@" twice on that template?

Thanks again!

Are you sure you uploaded all the files? Maybe try uploading them again.

They do rotate. The most common error is not to check the "vertical" option for vertical banners. So if you have 1 banner with the "vertical" option checked and 7 not, only one banner will show at the @vbbanners_vertical@ placeholder.

Thanks for your reply.

It seems that uploading the files again did the trick and it's finally rotating the banners.

By the way, there is only one Horizontal Placeholder: @vbbanners@

And one Vertical Placeholder: @vbbanners_vertical@

And I have 4 places to put banners: 2 at the top (horizontal), one side banner (vertical) and one at the bottom (horizontal).

If someone wants to have his banner to be shown only at the bottom, how can I configure RBS for this purpose? Because otherwise the banner might be displayed at both the top and the bottom randomly.

Thanks again!

It may be a future decision to add more placeholder types, but at the very moment there are only two available. If you have only banners of one kind (e.g. horizontal), you may use the vertical placeholder for banners at specific locations.
