How to add and advertising ?

[target_locked]

Hi there,
I'd like to know how to add an advertising?
Does the back-office support this? And where?
Thanks.

I went there but don't know how to add?
I just see:

Block advertising v0.1
Adds a block to display an advertising

but can not click on it, only can move the position up or down.
Pls advice more details.
Thanks.

There should be an [install] button beside it on the right where all the [install]/[uninstall] buttons are
On the right next to the tick box

OIC what you mean. Don't go to Positions. Just go to Modules where all the modules are and click [install]
Positions is for positioning (suppose that why it's called positions

If I click on [Add a new module]
It will ask me to in put:

Add a new module
Module URL:
Your admin password:

But what I want to do is how to add an ad (advertisement), it should include a URL and an image.

Thanks.

Firstly, you have to install [block advertising] from modules to make the ad block show on the front of the site
I assume you have already done this step

To then add an advertisment into the advertising blcok, you need to edit the html in \modules\blockadvertising\blockadvertising.tpl

I haven't seen a GUI way to do this in the current release

@ jtyana,
Could you show me how to modify the tpl file to add an advertising?
assume that the URL is www.mydomain.com, and the image file name is: myimage.jpg

Thanks.

It's very easy.
Open up the file blockadvertising.tpl found in modules\blockadvertising
Make sure you open the .tpl not the .php file
Use a text editor like notepad. (Don't use MS Word) Use notepad.

When you open blockadvertising.tpl, you will see the domain name www.prestashop.com, type over that with www.mydomain.com

This changes the link from prestashop.com to mydomain.com

Next, you need to change the pic. Simply replace the current "advertising.jpg" with your file. Make sure you rename your pic to be advertising.jpg

That's the easiest way. If you want your pic to be called something else, then open up blockadvertising.php and have a look. You will easily identify what to change ;-)

The same with all files, open them in notepad and have a look. You'll be surprised at how easy it is.
