Someone referred me to this module yesterday, and after installing it I knew I was doing something incorrectly. The developer provided assistance promptly. Because my client wants many banners placed on the same number of pages, rather than rotating banners, FlexBanner's saving me a lot of time. Highly recommended.

This is not a bad effort. It gives you a good basic way to organize ads, but there are some flaws. First, if its main focus is on banner advertising, it should provide an upload interface internally. It took me a few minutes to realize I first had to upload an image to the banners folder in the media manager. I am also not sure why you have to specify the image size twice – you need to set it on the location management, then specifically again for the image when you create a new banner. Enable/Disable buttons on the banner list would be better if they were clickable. Also, in the module you have to manually enter the location id as a parameter, where this should be implemented as a drop-down list. Also, for the module it will not display the title I set even when I specifically enable it in the standard module options. The interface in general is very redundant which could confuse some users. I do like the ease of putting in the custom code, which is how I would be doing most of my adverts anyway. The restriction options based on content are nice, would be even better if you could specify components. There is a little extra tedious work to be done, but it gets the job done. Will look into why it is not displaying the title in the module.

Nothing very sexy about this component other than it just works every time. Then again that's a happy ending all by itself. ;->

Just download this component + module for Joomla 1.5 and it's a nice extension for banner management, and above all.... its FREE.
Also there's already banner size presets which make it even easier to use.

Small suggestion:
make another documentation with pictures in it for beginner user on next updates.

Thanks to the development team for making this excellent extension free.

It's a good module, but I found that on every click it would reload the last created banner first every time and would not randomize, not desirable in my situation. Other than that, it's great!

Work as it should.

No problems at all.

This is the best banner manager for Joomla 1.5 ! For a long time I was looking for a way to display flash format banners, now it was solved by this component.

the only disadvantage is that the author did not add multi-language for it. Hope he will add a /language folder soon.

Thanks.

Easy install and usage - no problems. Just remeber the location numerical ID and don't confuse it with the size ID as I did first of all. A great extension. Thanks!

Hi there,

Great job! Really like it. Simple interface, very smooth.

I've been waiting for a banner com/mod that can cycle through all banners in a banner category and was hoping this was it (like a Simple Image Rotator/Image Slideshow but for banners that keeps the links). Is this something you're considering looking at?
