Hi,

I like to edit the banner module so that it will display Ads with AJAX timer to change the banner ads, say every 3 secs.

I know there is 3rd party module available like Smoke Ranch Ad Banner Manager 5.1, but i dun have any budget to purchase any of that for now.

My question is, can i get my hand dirty into banner module, and edit the core code to integrate with AJAX so that it works as what i really want...

This is the first thing that comes up to my mind, i'm not sure whether this is right approach of doing it.
Any advice please?


P/S: I've tried to put timer into banners.ascx, it refreshes the whole page instead of updating UpdatePanel
       Did i missed out something here?

Look here for an example of rotating images in a skin.  You might be able to use this approach to rotate images inside of a Text/HTML module rather than the Banner module.  If not, you can always do it with your skin.

erm..

but i need to know the impressions/click throughs etc of each banner ads while rotating..
if i use Text/HTML, how do i manage those data?

thx for your prompt reply..

I took a quick look and it doesn't seem that the banner module supports timer based rotation.

I also have not come across any other commercial modules that have timer based rotation as an option. It is always click rotation.
