Joomla Help Screens

Banners

Description¶

Banners are blocks of content containing advertising information. Each banner has a Client, the person paying for the information, and a Track record, the number of times the banner has been selected. A site may have several banners in different locations. The Banners screen shows a list of existing Banners with links to edit current and create new Banners. There must be at least one Banner Client and one Banner Category before a Banner can be created.

Common Elements¶

Some elements of this page are covered in separate Help articles:

How to Access¶

Column Headers¶

The following columns are specific to Banners.

Pinned If one or more Banners in a Category are pinned, they will take priority over Banners that are not pinned. For example, if two Banners in a Category are pinned and a third Banner is not pinned, the third Banner will not display if the module setting is 'Pinned, Randomise'. Only the two pinned Banners will display.

If the pinned banners have a fixed number of impressions, once those impressions are used up, the pinned banners will no longer display, and the non-pinned banners will begin displaying automatically.
Client The Client for this Banner. Clients are entered from the Banners: Clients list.
Impressions The Impression count is the number of times the Banner has been displayed on a page. The first number in this column is the actual number of Impressions so far, and the second number is how many Impressions were purchased by the client.
Clicks The first number is the total number of clicks that have been made on the Banner since the counter was reset. The second number is what percentage of the time user clicked on the banner when it was displayed.

Tips¶

You must add at least one Banner Client and Banner Category before you can add a Banner.
