How do i change the advertising banners on my shop?
Right now it is the computer: http://settlernetwork.be/shop/

I want to add some other banners there instead

[PShopExpert]

This ad block is very basic.
You can change the image module/blockadvertising/advertising.jpg for this block there is no media manager and no ad zone manager...
This will change all banners to this image.
To add more banners you need to copy the module, rename it everywhere, install it and place it to another position.

how do i change the adress/url for the banner?

[PShopExpert]

In /modules/blockadvertising/blockadvertising.php

Change:

$smarty->assign('image', './modules/'.$this->name.'/advertising.jpg');

In the tpl file in the module: blockadvertising.tpl

[code]<!-- MODULE Block advertising -->

xché disarci?

[jhnstcks]

You could download this advertising module or this addstuff module, they both supply alot better advertising opportunities than the basic module.

The advertising block has been updated in PrestaShop v1.3, so the advice in this thread is no longer relevant. In PrestaShop v1.3, you can go to Modules > Block advertising v0.1 (in the Blocks section) > Configure to change the image and link. To remove the advertising block from a position, go to Modules > Positions and click the X next to the module's name under the "Left column blocks" or "Right column blocks" section, depending on which column you want to remove it from.

The module still only allows you to have one ad though. To put more than one ad, you'll need to copy the module and give it a different name. For example, copy and paste the blockadvertising directory to blockadvertising2, then rename blockadvertising.php to blockadvertising2.php, change "class BlockAdvertising" on line 3 to "class BlockAdvertising2", change line 11 from:

$this->name = 'blockadvertising';

to:

$this->name = 'blockadvertising2';

and change line 17 from:

$this->displayName = $this->l('Block advertising');

to:

$this->displayName = $this->l('Block advertising 2');

You can do this again with different numbers (like 3 instead of 2) if you need more ads.

EDIT: If you are using PrestaShop v1.3.1, you will also need to replace 'BLOCKADVERT_LINK' in modules/blockadvertising2/blockadvertising2.php with 'BLOCKADVERT2_LINK'.

You must have made a mistake when renaming the files. Edit config/config.inc.php and temporarily change 'display_errors' from 'off' to 'on' to get an error message instead of a blank tab, which should help you identify the problem.

The modules were added to replicate;

Hi rocky,

I tried your method and it works - THANKS!!!

However the block replicates on both columns (left and right). I want my advertising to either be on JUST the left, or JUST the right.

Please take a look to see what I mean:

Thanks for the support rocky!

Go to Modules > Positions and click the X button next to advertising block in the "Left column blocks" or "Right column blocks" sections, depending on which column you want to delete the adveritising block from.
