How to display banners in contents using phpAdsNew

Hi,

I think I have read all the post talking about banners, ezpublish and phpAdsNew. And I didn't find an answer to my question.

I am using phpAdsNew (with remote invocation code) to display banners in my ezpublish sites. I include the code in my templates and everything works fine so far.

Now, I would like to include banners in my contents (not in the template) because it is too static (I mean : the banner always shows up at the same place which is in general before the content or after the content).

For example, if I publish an article which is quite long, i would like to add a banner anywhere in the middle of the text (using an embed xml tag may be).

Is it possible ? How could I do this ?

Thanks
Geraud

Hi Geraud

I think you will need to define a custom tag and place the remote invocation code in the template for the custom tag.

See http://ez.no/products/ez_publish_cms/documentation/customization/components/datatypes/ezxmltext/custom_tags for info on custom tags

Cheers

Hi,

Bruce's way or you can place the template operator in e.g. article.tpl between intro and body so you have the banner after the teaser and you can choose the keyword banner function in phpAdsNew and keywords in template operator.

Advantage: You can change the banner via phpadsnew centrally and not in old articles.

Thanks Bruce & Ekke,

I am going to dig into Bruce's solution I think.
Because it is a very flexible one and it can be used without modifying any template.
