Writing different code for different banner IDs

    Hi - great plugin! I want to know if there's a way to set it up so that in the output from the "Add New Banner" page, if a particular banner ID is chosen, some code can appear in the string surrounding the bannercode. In other words, if Banner 1 is selected, <div id=1> will appear before and </div> will appear after, and if Banner 2 is selected, <div id=2> will appear before and </div> after.

    I would just plug in the code myself every time, but I'm working with students and want to limit how much code they have to write. Thanks!

    FYI - I meant banner group. We have banner group 1 in one location, banner group 2 in another, etc., and they will require different formatting around them.

    Thanks, but I'm a little confused on usage. If I enter %id% into the code, where do I then enter the code I want to place before or after the banner code? Maybe I'm just missing something. Thanks for your help.

    You can use this to style your ads. Say you want an ad in a sidebar with a specific thing you can write in the ad code something like:

    <div id="somecss-%id%"> AD CODE HERE </div>

    And in your CSS Style sheet add:

    #somecss-34 { YOUR CSS HERE }

    Obviously replace the 34 with the actual id of the ad.
    Please if you will, play with it a bit. Any suggestions, improvements are welcome.

    Thanks -- this makes more sense now. I'll experiment with it and see how it works.

    BTW, does %id% refer to ad groups or individual ads? I really need it to work for groups, since the ads within them will all appear in the same place in the layout.

    Thanks again for your help -- it's much appreciated.

    %id% refers to ads

    For groups you can simply use the group id you're gonna use in the code.

    <div class="css-3"> ADD CODE </div>

    etc. No need for a tag for that. Ads can only be in one group so it will always work.
