Mobile Tip: Insert Banner Adverts in Status Update

[SweetPotato]

Hi All

This tip inserts banner ads under the status update box on Ning mobile sites

Whilst waiting for Ning to reverse their policy of not allowing NCs to insert their own banner adverts across their Ning Mobile sites, I have come up with one possible workaround to give your highly valuable site sponsors a bit of eyeball time on your mobile site.

Go to your language editor and search for "Also post to"

Replace that with the following and then insert urls and image urls as bolded below:

<ul style="float:left;"><li style="border:none; margin-right:15px; list-style:none;display:inline;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.URL.COM/"><img src="http://yourimage/image.jpg" /></a></li><li style="border:none; margin-right:15px; list-style:none;display:inline;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.URL.COM/"><img src="http://yourimage/image.jpg" /></a></li><li style="border:none; margin-right:15px; list-style:none;display:inline;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.URL.COM/"><img src="http://yourimage/image.jpg"/></a></li><li style="border:none; margin-right:15px; list-style:none;display:inline;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.URL.COM/"><img src="http://yourimage/image.jpg"/></a></li></ul>

Hopefully more to come soon.

You're welcome, Solo.

Nice!

[SweetPotato]

Hopefully goes some way to appeasing advertisers who expect a mobile presence

[Jordon McGee (Jords)]

Hopefully. It's a good start so far! Now if somebody figures out how to put one in the header area that would be a dynamite find!

[SweetPotato]

Tell me about it. I've been going through the language editor trying to find the network name. No luck yet.
This is the first discussion I've not had featured for about 2 years. Strange that. :-)

[Jordon McGee (Jords)]

Yeah, I've done some digging, no luck here either. :(

"Strange that. :-)"

Methinks its not a coincidence :|

[SweetPotato]

not that I expect to be featured, obviously, just strange.

Interesting tip, bro! Thanks for sharing.

[SweetPotato]

No problem Thunder. Sorry I never got back to you regarding the reverbnation button, not had the time sadly

[Patrick Chappelle]

Understood, SP. I've had a dire domestic situation for the past few weeks, haven't had much time for much else.

[SweetPotato]

sorry to hear that dude. hope it's working itself out
