Banner Option not available in the Preferences Section
Hi Folks,

After reading some of the docs about the perferences icon in the admin section, I noticed that in the docs there is a Banner Option radio button that you are the check to activate the banner ads program of PHP Nuke.

Well, when I looked in my preferences I noticed that this option is not there. I have no Banner Option radio button to click to activate. Would someone be so kind as to tell me how to activate the banner ads program?
I have tried many things, but the banners will not display. I figure that it is because I have no way to activate it in the preferences section. Is this correct? How should I proceed?

Yes...I did activate the advertising module.
yes...I have added a new client.
yes...I have added his banner.

When I login as the client and click on the advertising link, I can click the show icon and the banner will show itself. But it does not show up anywhere else on the website.

I am currently using PHP Nuke 7.8

Could someone please advise me?

Thank you so much.


Possibilities
Was cruising through, maybe its just something thats painfully obvious that we all miss while we learn...

Do you have an Advertising Block activated?

Center or Side ?

If you have the ad set to display in the Top position (header) it should display.....

Trying to think what else I am forgetting.........


Oh yeah, a link is always a beautiful thing to add here, those questions could have been answered by visiting your site...... Wink

Not trying to be smart, just trying to help you speed along the process....

Good luck with the site! Cool



let me see if I understand you...

Your saying you don't have a Banners Options section within preferences in your admin panel?

As far as the banners showing you have a blocks or normal option

The normal option requires your theme be able to display the banners if not you would have to use the block.



Hi Folks,

Thank you so much for the replys.
Here is the link to the web site. http://www.jbcentral.com/nuke/

admin login is: username:
password:
Please have a look and help yourself to whatever you need.

If you click on the advertising link, the customer login I created for a test client is the folowing: Login:
password:
when it lets you in you can click on the show icon to display the test banner.
It will display there, but it does not show anywhere on the site.

I don't understand why the banner will not display as a ad.

I also do noy understand why I have no "Banner Option" radio button in my preferences. The docs clearly show that there should be one.

I'm a bit confussed at this point.
Please advise,
Thank you so much
