[search db=/webcatalog/banners.db&wobcatdatarq=homepage&bnamesort=1&bnamesdir=ra&all hit=1&max=1] [foundItems] 
[/foundItems] [/search]
Display banners are hotlinked throughout our site
The btask is what to do when the click on the banner bname is the banner.gif file name bwidth is the image width bheight is the banner height (faster loading with w and h tags) In my banner.db I control where banners can be shown. That is the reason for the &wobcatdatarq=homepage. So if a banner does not say homepage in a field it is not shown. IE: example if I had a person was on a computer chip page I would want to tell them about modems and monitors, not chips. That is how I control what gets shown on a page. Very simple and easy just like all of webcat :).=============================================== Gary Richter PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 702.850.2900 Fx: 702.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com ===============================================
