Instructions
Install Banner Ads on Your Joomla Website
1. Obtain a banner ad from a client who has agreed to purchase ad space on your Joomla site. The banner ad will be an image in GIF or JPG format. Log in to your Joomla administrator panel and click "Site" on the main menu. Select "Media Manager" from the drop-down menu.
2. Click on "Directory" in the Media Manager window and select "Banners" from the drop-down menu. Click "Browse" and select your client's ad. Click "Open" to upload the file. Click "Components" and then "Banners." Select "Manage Clients."
3. Click "New" to create a new client. Enter your client's information, including the desired advertising duration, number of clicks and the following details:
- If you sold banner ad space for a certain period of time, enter the details for how long the banner ad should run on your website.
- If you sold ad space and a specific number of clicks, enter that number as the maximum number of clicks the banner ad will receive before it is disabled.
- If you did not sell a limited number of clicks to your client, set the value to "unlimited" in the relevant field.
Click "Save" to save your client's information.
4. Display your client's banner ads. Click "Components" in the main menu, select "Banners" and then click "Manage Banners." Click "New" and enter the title of the banner ad. Select the client and enter the client's Web address - this should be the URL to which your visitors will be directed when they click on the client's banner ad. Choose the ad file and click "Save."
5. Ensure that a check mark rather than an "X" appears in the "Published" column. If you see an "X," change it to a check mark.
Remove, Add and Manage Banner Ads
6. Click "Components" in the main menu. Click "Banners" and then "Manage Banners."
7. Remove a banner ad by checking the box in front of it. To simply stop displaying the ad, click the "Unpublish" icon at the top right of the page. To completely remove the ad, click "Delete."
8. Add a new banner ad by clicking "New" and entering the necessary information. Choose the ad file and click "Save." Use the "Upload" button if you are adding a new banner image.
9. Add or remove clients by clicking the "Components" link in the main menu. Click "Banners" and then click "Manage Clients."
