New module 'Randombanner'

[snark]

A banner module which shows a new banner with every reload


It allows you to manage your banners in a normal admin dashboard ( add banners, set them active/inactive, add a link etc)

The height and the width fields you can override these settings to place bigger banners


The weblink has to start with http://

in the targetfield you can specify a target for the link

The banners van be uploaded to the randombanner-banners folder on the media folder.



With some minor adjustments it could be a randomimage with caption or something like that

Hello Saiborg.

This is a "Page" Module.

Just create a new Page of Type "randombanner".

If you want to have this in a specific area of your template you will need to generate a template with multisections.

@Snark
What means "HTML Code is allowed"? Where to put it in?

I do not have a clue.. It was left there from the module I used as base to create this one (Team)

I guess I better remove the line in a next version...

  Yeah, this was my first impression.
You may rename also the "Member" Field into "Banner".
Don't you think

P.S. I have some "reports" after putting the save button (options).
See attached file.

However nice as it is, for full flexibility and user friendliness I think this module should be a droplet really.

I think not... you would have to insert too much text into the droplet

for instance if you want 20 banners you would have to insert 20 x name + link + width+height+target into the droplet... I think an average customer is going to call each time he wants to insert a banner because it "looks like coding the page and that looks scary" according to most of my customers.

They want a module whicht looks and works simple...


however, for only a couple of banners it could be a droplet

Very nice module !

Can you make some statistic for number of clicke or for eg. to record time/date and ip address ? or something like that...

Also, I saw some somewhere that random baners  have prev and next button, and "random" functions work if you have 5 baners it goes 1,2,3,4,5...not TRUE random..I hope you understand what I ment That way if you have 5 clients their banners will be displayed equaly, and with true random function you can have for eg 60:10:10:10:10 displays in 100 )

cheers

Can you ...

no, but maybe someone else can expand the possiblities of this addon

You're right, I forgot that droplets don't have admins. So the code would be too complex and big for this. Which brings me to thinking: wouldn't it be nice to have a module type with backend AND easy drop in use with simple tags like droplets? So in this case a full admin based banner module, with output wherever you place a tag like [[RandomBanners]].

that would be mighty cool to have... I created this because a customer specifically asked for this module and have got not much time nor knowledge how to expand this module so if anyone does have an idea...
