I have read the README.txt in the documentation folder and it states "an ad_remote plug-in for hosting ads on remote (non-Drupal) websites". I have looked through my sites /admin/modules directory and through all the README and INSTALL documentation and can not seem to find how to have the module produce the code to display my ads from my Drupal CMS site to a non-Drupal site.

I'll keep actively searching for the solution, but I thought if I posted this, I could work with other community members to solve this problem.

Thanks,

Once you enable the ad_remote module, you should see a link titled "Remote ads" in your Navigation block. Follow that link to the ad_remote page, where you can select a group and a quantity of ads. Click the "Generate code snippet" button at the bottom of the page, and you should then see a source snippet that you can place on remote websites.

Note that this module is nothing but a proof of concept. It is not especially advanced, but should be enough to get you up and running and serving ads from one website to many if you manage multiple websites.

I enabled the ad_remote module, but I don't see the link titled "Remote ads" in our Navigation block. So now I can't follow that link to the ad_remote page, where I can select a group and a quantity of ads. I'm trying to look at the module file and reverse-engineer a complete URL to this 'ad_remote page'. Any suggestions are more than welcome!

Your proof of concept is quite dandy, I might add..
And I will look at the project and attempt to contribute ideas, etc. to it.

Thanks,

As with any Drupal module, be sure to configure proper permissions. For the ad_remote module, you need to grant "host remote advertisements" permissions to any roles that can set up remote advertisements. Do this at "Administer >> User Management >> Access control".
