Slider Banner Rotator

Hello everyone, I am looking for a easy to use, module, sizeable banner rotator. I am not a programmer so I ned this to be easy installation, and I dont want to need a programmer to add banner, I can ftp the images without problems, but writing the codes....I  am not comfortable. attached is an example size of the banners I will be using on my site... Thanks

You should search this site, there are many topics about sliders.

There are many banners/sliders available.  Avoid flash based if your interested about mobile Apple products.  The problem is that due to the nature of sliders they require some code to be placed in the right places.  Probably the best would be one you could drop into the Promo box (which is a good place for sliders because they can be hidden once the member logs on by just unchecking a checkbox.).

where are you trying to rotate the banners in promo block or via HTML block ?

You may use this function to create a simple banner rotator.

Define your banners

Create $ad array with the links of each banner.

.
<?php
$ad1 = '<a href="BANNER1_URL" target="_blank"><img src="BANNER1_IMG_SRC" alt="BANNER1_ALT" title="BANNER1_TITLE"></a>';
$ad2 = '<a href="BANNER2_URL" target="_blank"><img src="BANNER2_IMG_SRC" alt="BANNER2_ALT" title="BANNER2_TITLE"></a>';
$ad3 = '<a href="BANNER3_URL" target="_blank"><img src="BANNER3_IMG_SRC" alt="BANNER3_ALT" title="BANNER3_TITLE"></a>';
$ad4 = '<a href="BANNER4_URL" target="_blank"><img src="BANNER4_IMG_SRC" alt="BANNER4_ALT" title="BANNER4_TITLE"></a>';
$ad = array($ad1, $ad2, $ad3, $ad4);
shuffle($ad);
?>

Display random banner

Just put this code, where you want to display your random banner

<div>
  <?php print $ad[0] ?>
</div>

I would like the banner rotator to be aroud here...in the image attached

 RE:

 So why don't you tell him which file to put that in, and exactly where to place it?  Why leave him hanging?

opps!  Sorry, I have been busy finishing up on a project for client :/

1) create file; for example adverts.php and add the first part of code I give ...

<?php
$ad1 = '<a href="BANNER1_URL" target="_blank"><img src="BANNER1_IMG_SRC" alt="BANNER1_ALT" title="BANNER1_TITLE"></a>';
$ad2 = '<a href="BANNER2_URL" target="_blank"><img src="BANNER2_IMG_SRC" alt="BANNER2_ALT" title="BANNER2_TITLE"></a>';
$ad3 = '<a href="BANNER3_URL" target="_blank"><img src="BANNER3_IMG_SRC" alt="BANNER3_ALT" title="BANNER3_TITLE"></a>';
$ad4 = '<a href="BANNER4_URL" target="_blank"><img src="BANNER4_IMG_SRC" alt="BANNER4_ALT" title="BANNER4_TITLE"></a>';
$ad = array($ad1, $ad2, $ad3, $ad4);
shuffle($ad);
?>

2) on the page you wish to show the banners include the file and second part of code into php block like this:

include_once("adverts.php");
echo "<div align='center'>$ad[0]</div>";

FYI once you have added the adverts.php file >> you can then use it and show your advertisements on any page where you add the second part of code into PHP blocks or pages etc

Also; with 'shuffle' the banners will not be shown in any particular order but rather randomly picked and shown.

Can each photo in the banner have a separate clickable link?
