  Adding dynamic advertising scroller Reply Quote Our client would like to have a scroller like the one that appears on the Blockbuster site http://www.blockbuster.ca/movies/default.aspx.  The scroller would be placed in the footer area of their site and if you click on one of the images it would give you a description of the advertiser with a link. The scroller script itself is pretty straightforward.  Is there a way to link the scroller to content generated in Wild Apricot (perhaps as Contacts)?  Or would this need to be driven by an external database of some sort? The client wants to be able to add/delete advertisers so it can't be built as a static element.  Any suggestions?

If you are referring to the member public profile pages then you can link directly to them. You just need to indicate the exact url. See: http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Privacy+settings This would be the case with any public page. Denys Zlobin Helpful Apricot http://www.wildapricot.com

  Re: Adding dynamic advertising scroller Reply Quote As Denys mentioned it is possible to link to a members profile if you have direct URL, however you would have to create the images and descriptions manually. Also you would need to create the javascript to rotate the banners. That being said we have some new customizations we will be publishing before the end of the month that may help you automate this process - keep an eye on our Customization forum for more information.
