I like to realise a rotating banner (time depending changing of image) with the ad_module (Drupal 5.x), but up to now I cannot find any way for doing that.

Can anyone give me some hints how I can realise rotating banners?

I like to use the embed module with the group based automatically embedded ads.
As a fall back, I can use an api function like print ad(23, 1, array('method' => 'javascript')); in the template page.

Thanks,

Klaus

Well after mucking around with this module which has a LOT a wonderful features this was pretty much the only problem that I had with it. Finally, after much headache, I finally got functional rotating ads! Did it with a combination of the ad module and the Views Slideshow. Unfortunately the source of my headache was the fact that in the latest version of the ad module they removed/separated the views addon (many expletives flew realising this). I currently have it workin with this version: ad-5.x-1.5-rc2.tar.gz which was the last one that had the views addon built in. You basically enable both modules and create a view that rotates available active ads of whatever type/group you want to rotate. Have fun with this and I hope that it helps some people with the same problems I've had and I also hope they quickly fix up the new Ad views module they proposed.
