HI

I am looking at creating a module for phpAdsNew that just supplies code to the drupal system so it would be available in my template. Considering it wouldn't have any relation to a node, is there anything special I must do?

I see the module having 2 settings available via the admin panel - the location of the phpAdsNew install and whether to prevent duplicate banners. These settings would then be used by the contained functions to deliver banners. Note this is not an original idea, it will be drupalising a vBulletin plugin that does the same job for vB. But instead of supplying a template tag, the functions in the module would be available for the phptemplate theme engine to use.

Also, not being associated with a node would make it valid for both 4.6 & 4.7....

Any comments?

Thanks

I've been beavering away and now have a module that interfaces to phpadsnew and supplies a function for inclusion in phptemplate themes :) Currently working under 4.6 - yay! It surprised me that the damn thing worked! To say I am stoked is an understatement!

Can you provide me with how this works? I sucks that Drupal can't work with phpAdsNew :-)

Thanks
