| 201 | |
| 202 | Log into your '''Admin Panel''' and navigate to '''Tools -> Banners''' |
| 203 | |
| 204 | On the top of the Banners Panel there is a list of your banners. Each banner in the list has the following controling buttons: '''Preview''', '''Modify''', and '''Delete'''. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | '''''Preview''''' lets you see the banner as it will look on your site. |
| 207 | '''''Modify''''' option lets you change the banner settings. They are stated further. |
| 208 | '''''Delete''''' this deletes a banner. |
| 209 | |
| 210 | Besides this, every line displays banner statistics, such as number of impressions (views) and number of clicks. |
| 211 | |
| 212 | A new banner can be added by using a form at the bottom of the '''Banners''' panel. The settings are the same as when you're modifying a banner. Here they are: |
| 213 | |
| 214 | 1) '''''Banner title''''' - this can be any name you want to assign to your banner. This name won't be shown to members. |
| 215 | |
| 216 | 2) '''''Banner URL''''' - here you need to specify the link where your banner points to, for example '''!http://www.boonex.com'''. |
| 217 | |
| 218 | 3) '''''Banner Active''''' - this checkbox should be checked if you wish to display your banner and unchecked if you want to hide the banner. |
| 219 | |
| 220 | 4) '''''Banner Text (HTML Only)''''' - this must be the code generating your banner, should it be a picture, a text or an object. For example, the following code will show a BoonEx banner on your site: |
| 221 | |
| 222 | {{{ |
| 223 | <img src="http://www.boonex.com/img/boonex_cse2.gif" /> |
| 224 | }}} |
| 225 | |
| 226 | 5) '''''Start Date''''' and '''''End Date''''' are the starting and ending periods of your banner's impression. You can use the '''''Choose''''' and '''''Clear''''' buttons to insert a date and delete it respectively. |
| 227 | |
| 228 | 6) '''''Position on the page''''' has four checkboxes '''''Top''''', '''''Left''''', '''''Bottom''''' and '''''Right''''' to display the banner in the respective areas of your site. |
| 229 | |
| 230 | 7) '''''HShift''''' and '''''VShift''''' let you specify for what number of pixels you want to shift your Left or Right banners '''''Horizontally''''' or '''''Vertically''''' respectively. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | 8) '''''Submit''''' button allows you to submit your changes and the '''''Insert as new''''' checkbox lets you submit the modified banner as a new one. |
