*feature request opened for Banner module, that could suit Advertisment too*

Would be possible to limit the output of a submitted banner only to a specific node?

Es: when user submits the banner, he selects a node (with nodereference or other method) and the banner will show up only there.

Thank you

I'm not sure on the usefulness of this feature request, nor am I sure how to create a usable interface for assigning ads to specific nodes. At this time, I'm not convinced and do not plan to implement this feature. But feel free to provide more details as to why this is useful, and how the user interface for it would be implemented and I'll reconsider. Better yet, patches are always appreciated.

You can now do this using views to display ads with the latest development version of the module.

First of all a big *Thank You* Jeremy for this simple and complete Drupal-integrated module that IMHO beats in simplicity and ease of use popular scripts as OpenAds, AdPeeps, RevSense,.. and is wonderfully Drupal integrated too. It kicks man :)

Case of use about this issue:
i personally run geotargeted sites, where content is categorized by countries, states, cities, destinations, etc..
Here comes my whish to let people advertise on single location-tied pages, so to have their ad shown only to visitors that are looking for that specific area.
For example imagine a shop or a restaurant in Rome willing to advertise only on "Italy", "Lazio" and "Rome city" pages, but not necessarily on the header or sidebar of *all* pages.

Actually:
using Views or Ad blocks this would not be that easy/manageable IMO, as for both methods a single block or view would be needed and this could turn to be unmanageable in the long run.
The ad_embed module seems the best solution, still it's a bit hard to integrate the ads in the layout.

Possible quick solution: ad_embed + sidecontent
Sidecontent.module lets you add content of any kind directly from each sidecontent-enabled node submission form with a collapsible text form. Admins can then choose where exactly in the page to show the Sidecontent block (via Blocks admin page, or direct PHP call in theme).

Only problem now is that ad_embed does not seem to work when added to Sidecontent block, nor when added to standard blocks (tryed both with [[ad]] and

).

Would it be easy to make ad_embed work in blocks too?

thanks a lot
