I enabled banners at the host level in site settings. It placed an example banner next to the logo area. In this banner it says to use the vendor module to manage site banners. How do I get to the vendor module? I have added the banner module, but I cant seem to be able to modify the banner in the area next to the logo.

Hi Nina. I was hoping someone would take a peek at this. Yes, I opened the template and see that this area is for banners. I'm lost in that the banner is telling me to manage through the vendor module. I don't see how I can manage this banner area through the vendor module. I see how to add the banner module, but have no clue where and how to get to the vendor module.

Found a solution.

For some reason something goes wrong with Child portals and passing their portal id's to linkclick.aspx.
So: Dim objBanner As BannerInfo = objBanners.GetBanner(intBannerId, intVendorId, PortalSettings.PortalId), returns nothing. A quick fix for this is commenting out the last line of the sp GetBanner like so:

set ANSI_NULLS ON

set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

go

 

ALTER procedure [dbo].[GetBanner]

@BannerId int,

@VendorId int,

@PortalID int

as

select Banners.BannerId,

Banners.VendorId,

'ImageFile' = case when Files.FileName is null then Banners.ImageFile else Files.Folder + Files.FileName end,

Banners.BannerName,

Banners.Impressions,

Banners.CPM,

Banners.Views,

Banners.ClickThroughs,

Banners.StartDate,

Banners.EndDate,

'CreatedByUser' = Users.FirstName + ' ' + Users.LastName,

Banners.CreatedDate,

Banners.BannerTypeId,

Banners.Description,

Banners.GroupName,

Banners.Criteria,

Banners.URL,

Banners.Width,

Banners.Height

FROM Banners

INNER JOIN Vendors ON Banners.VendorId = Vendors.VendorId

LEFT OUTER JOIN Users ON Banners.CreatedByUser = Users.UserID

left outer join Files on Banners.ImageFile = 'FileId=' + convert(varchar,Files.FileID)

where Banners.BannerId = @BannerId

and Banners.vendorId = @VendorId

--AND (Vendors.PortalId = @PortalID or (Vendors.PortalId is null and @portalid is null))
