Credits and Notes:
-Part of the javascript code was originally written by M. K. Namdeo
-Only SuperAdmins can access Banner Management page
-Don't add to several locations on the same page, as it will not work

Does this work with your shoutbox mod? I have the shoutbox installed and attempted to use the default ad system in the acp. when someone clicks on the shoutbox they are taken to the ad instead of being able to use the shoutbox.

i added a flash banner, but it is not clickable,
do i need to embed the link in the swf file?

[Valter]

Yes, it should be embedded in the swf.

Alternatively, enable last option in product settings.

Great mod! Thanks!

Are there any plans on implementing the banner in the CMS page (content.php)? If so, when? It doesn't seem to be working for myself and multiple other users on this thread.

I would also do this myself if someone can give me instructions.

Has anyone ever been able to set another location for this? If not, is there another mod that someone can recommend that is able to do this task?
