Banner ads in different catagories

Banner ads in different catagories
I'd like to run banner ads (for some of my affilaite sites) in my directory.

So far I've been able to add a banner to the home page and a different banner to all the subsequent pages within categories. I've done this by simply altering the html in the templates of 'index' and I think 'category'.

Is it possible to alter the banner within the catagories section dependent on which category (and sub-section/pages) is being viewed?

eg

I have five catagories, number 1 to 5. I'd like banner ad number 1 to appear when someone views category 1 but banner ad number 2 to appear when someone views category 2 etc etc

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a mod for search terms integrated with AdvertPRO(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...ces/jump.cgi?ID=1182), but I'm not sure about having different banners.

Thanks for the try, unfortunately this is not what I'm looking for.

Any further ideas anyone? Anthro, you got any ideas?

Hi,

I use webadverts and set up different zones to correspond to my different categories. Then, I put the webadverts code with the appropriate zone into the header or footer of the corresponding category. Works like a dream. You'll probably need to modify the header and footer to accept longer chunks of code. Off the top of my head, I can't remember what file that is. However, you can find webadverts at http://awsd.com/scripts/webadverts/

Hope that helps.
