Issue Summary
just wondering if there is a version for drupal 5 planned/in progress?
Comments
#1
HEAD works fine, using it without visible problems for a few months already.
#2
I'm currently working my way through the issue queue. HEAD will soon be ready to be branched for Drupal 5.
#3
Shortly from now I have to launch a new website that needs an module to show pictures and banners. I did the development with 4.7 and the banner module. But the real one has to be in 5.0.
I need it for two purposes:
a. random show of pictures of the community in a block (one at a time)
b. random show of 3 banners in a block.
No statistics needed and so on, just basic showing of the pictures/banners.
Feature request for the pictures: a link to a website or internal page is not usefull / desirable. Can it please be switched off?
When do you expect to have a basic working 5.0 module ready? Or where can I find one?
#4
I currently have a rather busy schedule at work.
I expect to release a version for Drupal 5 at the end of February. I apologise for the delay.
#5
I've just tested HEAD version of banner module in Drupal 5 and seems to be working without any problems.
#6
Where can I download the head version for 5?
#7
grab it here:
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/banner-HEAD.tar.gz
#8
Any updates on this? And will the 5 version support more than three ad blocks?
#9
I do not understand, whether continues the project to develop? Updatings does not occur. Important patches do not join in HEAD version!
There are a few important features requests for develop this module.
I should tell, that this module very important and necessary. But its development has stopped. It is very a pity.
It would be interesting to include in the module and calculation of cost commercial advertising, and adjustments of the targeting for displays based on the analysis of an address line (url)
#10
The problem is that the developers seem to have gone AWOL. The last activity by any of the listed developers (http://drupal.org/project/developers/3382) was almost twelve weeks ago at this point.
I'll email the last one to commit (wulff) and see what's going on.
#11
I can confirm that the current (January!?) HEAD appears to at least run (yet to experiment with testing), but whatever the case, it would be good to branch it and tag it as DRUPAL-5 , whatever the status.
I'd hope to find a way to tie it together with the links modules (there's a chunk of common ground there) but I'm unsure if it's worth any time playing with the current code. :(
#12
I second this. Seems like Banner module needs some more maintainers. If someone of you is actively working with Banner module, you should consider to apply for CVS access.
However, I'll stick to Advertisement module in the future. Jeremy has rewritten the whole module.
#13
fo reals....
yeah, many people use banners... this module should be priority.
#14
Uses banner on my 4.7.x site, but I`m not able to update to Druapl5 since the banner module is not longer maintained :( Any other new banner projects out there? Strange if not....
#15
I made the banner module work for Drupal 5.1. I used the head version (banner.module,v 1.74 2007/01/30), and fixed a few things. The main items were the following two lines which didn't work. Not sure if the previous author accidentally find/replace'd them. After I changed them everything seems to work now.
- $node->banner_content['teaser']['#value'] .= $output;
+ $node->content['teaser']['#value'] .= $output;
- $node->banner_content['banner_body'] = array(
+ $node->content['body'] = array(
#16
Created a patch from the above and included an updated install.txt.
I barely tested the patch since, on second thought, I do not need to use the module
It would be fine if someone can test is properly.
#17
Hi The Patch is not distributed. Please attach the Patch.
Thanks in advance!
greetings,

#18
I made a patch based on the changes in #16. Attached.
#19
Hi,
The Ad module, has now a ad_html submodule!, which is a banner module, sort off.
So I think it is better for me because I started with the advertisement (ad module) to stick to this.
THe module is reachable on: http://drupal.org/project/ad
thanks for the patch anyway!
greetings,
Martijn

the source of the banner in the defined block is:

<div class="content">
<div class="advertisement" id="group-none"><!-- Enable 'show advertisements' permission if you wish to display ads here. --></div>

Seems like Banner module no longer actively maintained. Someone of you guys should apply for taking over this project and/or write a migration script for the Advertisement module.
#22
Yes, use an alternative module with same features.
