Adding Custom Banner Code

If you are adding custom banner code,  you will find you get a javascript error and mambo wants you to choose an image from the drop down list. It will also ask you for a banner url.

 To work around this, you can upload a transparent gif, either a 1x1 pixel gif, or the size of your banner space. The default banner in mambo is 468x60. I have created a 1x1 transparent gif and you can download it by right clicking here, and choosing save link as in Mozilla Firefox or Save Target as in Internet Explorer. You can then upload to your banners in the banner manager. After uploading remember to close the banner you are working on and open a new one to refresh the list of images in the banner manager drop down list.

Finally, in the banner url, you can put something in comments, like this --> <!-- see custom  code --> 

 note: if you are hosting your image, and you are using custom code, the custom banner code will take precedence over the banner url and image. You will have to put the source code in the custom banner code to point to the image on your server. Choosing it in the banner manager will NOT work.
