Ok well I came across a website where if you moused over an image you would get this non intrusive ad. So i decided i wanted it for my website.

First you would need to sign up and get approved @ the URL below

Adding ISM to my site
Quick Start Guide

1. To begin setting up ads on your domain, please click on the "Create" tab on the menu bar.



2. Fill in all the information for Step 1, 2, and 3. Hover over the [?] for more information on that particular step.



3. Please remember to click on "Save Changes" when the form has been filled.

4. Next, copy the JavaScript Embed Code by selecting the text and choosing the copy function in the browser (this will be the code you insert in your HTML on your domain).

I couldn't really figure out how to make this a plugin so i had to manually edit the footer template to add the code.

If you go to your

Admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates (make sure you select this from your active template)

you will see a bunch templates on the left scroll down to "footer" and double click it.

Once its open scroll all the way to the bottom of this template and paste your image space media java code.

Which should look like such.

<script src="http://services.picadmedia.com/js/picad.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">picadService.initialize(); </script>

And Save it thats pretty much it.
