VBM, banner management

[amirdoit]

hi.
how we can include the banners in our main website? {what should i type?}

thanks

When you fill the zone with banners, you need to press "generate code" to get JavaScript code that you need to copy in desired place.
Commonly used templates are:

Index.tpl - to display on home page.
Category_Main.tpl - to display on category page.
Article_full.tpl - to display in full article view page.

I assume there would be no problem substituting code from openads instead if you have higher needs, such as keywords, etc?

Right, the VBM is pretty simplistic and wouldn't suit needs like yours. Use OpenAds (remote invocation for Javascript) as you would anywhere else, paste the javascript into the templates wherever you want the zones. From what I have gathered, it is possible to use local mode invocation code which works better, but since it is php code, you cannot put it into the Vivvo templates. You need to work out a way to assign template variables for the results of the script and put the template variables into the .tpl. I have not had the time to work it out, but if you eventually do...please share!!

Good luck.
