I am using the banner mod to promote the different functions of my site. Pretty simple idea really. Have one issue I can;t seem to fix.
When you click on a banner, it always opens a new window. Where can I add target="_self" to arrest that behavior?

What banner mod? There are dozens of them.

Lets see how smart I am. I think I need to do it in the banners.php file, in this section of code. Just don't know how to do it.

e.g.
your game zone banner.
to get to open on same page, enter this code into the banner box.

I already tried that. I even tried editing the DB manually. It doesn't work....

I'm pretty sure it has to happen in that banner.php file.... I know that's a global fix but doesn;t matter because I don't sell banner ads anyway
I think I have to add it here:
), 'BannerUrl' => array( 'type' => 'text', 'name' => 'Url', 'value' => $sFormUrl, <--------- 'caption' => $sUrlC, 'required' => false, 'db' => array ( 'pass' => 'Xss', ), ),

then how come it works on my site with your banner, click the banner and it opens in same page.

I had to center it. I don;t think those center tags would affect it though/..

Wait... Are you leaving ther URL field empty since you're adding the href into the description field?

I nsaw it, go ahead. and removing the banner url from the banner editor makes the banner non clickable.

Perhaps you could try changing this line of code in inc/banners.inc.php to _self
Around line 50:
$sLinkWrapper = $arr['Url'] ? "<a target="_blank " href="{$bann_click_url}?{$arr['ID']}" onmouseout="ce()" onfocus="ss('{$arr['Url']}')" onmouseover="return ss('{$arr['Url']}')">{$arr['Text']}</a><br />" : $arr['Text'];

I'm speaking of the "URL:" I have left that blank and used just what I posted.

that sounds good. [edit] I tried this and it didn't work.
I don't always want them to leave and always use _new or _blank and prefer to be able to control this function.

I do not know how you're getting that to work Newton because I can't make it work on mine. But that's normal for me... LOL
Thanks to both of you for helping...., Now if we can just fix that damned TOS {evalResult} problem, I could go to bed.
I just realized you said inc.banners.inc.php... Well, I was close anyway

_new or _blank is good for other sites but I'm redirecting them internally.. Don't want them to end up with 10 open towtalk windows... (lol). Thanks again. That fix worked perfectly H,
