Overview[edit]

This screen is accessed from the back-end Joomla! administrator panel. It is used to add or edit banner clients.

How to Access[edit]

Navigate to the the Banner Client Manager. To add a new Banner Client, click on the New icon in the toolbar. To edit an existing Banner Client, click on the Client's Name or check the Client's checkbox and press the Edit icon in the toolbar.

Description[edit]

This is where you add a new Banner Client or edit an existing one. Note that you need to create at least one Banner Client before you can create a Banner.

Screenshot[edit]

Details and Options[edit]

Details[edit]

Client Name. The name of the client. This is the name that will display in the Name column of the Banner Client Manager.
Contact Name. The name of the banner client.
Contact E-mail. The e-mail address of the banner client.

State: State of the item. Possible values are:
- Published: The item is published. This is the only state that will allow regular website users to view this item.
- Unpublished: The item is unpublished.
- Archived: The item has been archived.
- Trashed: The item has been sent to the Trash.
Purchase Type. The purchase type of the banner. This is used to indicate how the banner client purchased the display time for the banner - monthly, yearly, etc...
Track Impressions. Whether or not to track the number of times the banner is displayed to web site visitors.
Track Clicks. Whether or not to track the number of times the banner is clicked by web site visitors.

ID. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla!. It is used to identify the item internally, and you cannot change this number. When creating a new item, this field displays 0 until you save the new entry, at which point a new ID is assigned to it.

Metadata Options[edit]

Meta Keywords. Optional comma-separated list that will be added to the HTML keywords output.
Use Own Prefix. Whether or not to use the banner's prefix or that of the client. Select No if you want to use the prefix of the banner client.
Meta Keyword Prefix. When matching meta keywords, only search for meta keywords with these optional prefixes. This improves performance.

Toolbar[edit]

At the top right you will see the toolbar. Whether you selected to create a new client or edit an existing one will determine what toolbar buttons will be available.

New client toolbar:

Edit client toolbar:

Save. Saves the item and stays in the edit screen.

Save & Close. Saves the item and closes the edit screen.

Save & New. Saves the item and keeps the editing screen open and ready to create another item.

Save as Copy. Saves this item under a new name, keeping the original item unmodified. This button is available only when editing an existing item, not when creating a new one.

Cancel. Returns to the previous screen without saving your work. If you press Cancel while adding a new item, this new item will not be created. If you were modifying an existing item, the modifications will not be saved.

Close. Returns to the previous screen without saving your work. If you press Close while adding a new item, this new item will not be created. If you were modifying an existing item, the modifications will not be saved.

Help. Opens this Help Screen.
