Enabling Advertisements in Joomla 1.5

[zztech]

I've been having some trouble adding advertisements to Joomla, so I've decided to post a tutorial.

1. Log in to your administratior section of Joomla.

2. Go to Components -> Banner -> Categories.

3. Click the "New" button to create a new category. Use these settings; leave exerything else default:
Name: Advertising
Description: Advertisements

4. For each ad you want to enable, follow the following steps:

5. Go to Components -> Banner -> Clients.

6. Click the "New" button to create a new client. Just fill in things like this; leave exerything else default:
Clent's Name: Banner Ad 160x600
Contact Name: Banner Ad 160x600
Contact E-mail: BannerAd@BannerAd.com
Extra Information: 160x600 Banner Ad


7. Go to Components -> Banner -> Banners.

8. Click the "New" button to create a new banner. Just fill in things like this; leave exerything else default:
Clent's Name: What You Put in Step 6
Category: Advertising
Custom Banner Code: Paste Yours In

9. Go to Extensions -> Module Manager.

10. Make the module a banner module.

11. Click the "New" button to create a new client. Use settings similar to these; again, anything not mentioned should be left default:
Title: Advertisement
Position: You Pick
Show Title: You Pick
Banner Client: What You Put in Step 6
Category: Advertising

12. Apply it. You now have a site with banner ads enabled!
