Currently the IC banners are not very easy. You have to ask either Brend or me to upload the image and add it to the banner list in order to run a campaign. This takes time and makes it less desirable to run such a campaign.

I have added a 'banner' line to the Corporation data model and designed a banner campaign entry: http://www.fwurg.net/dokuwiki/tech:bann ... aign_model

I'd like to use Javascript to automatically load the valid campaigns from the wiki, as well as all existing corporations, and display banners from them based on the wiki data. This has the advantage of allowing automatic ends to campaigns (no more manual removal) and automatically adding new banners (no more manual adding), as well as encouraging players to make banners for their corporations which can then be displayed for coolness.

What do people think of this idea and my proposed model?

[Brend]

I like the idea.

I have been working on this as well -- I have a slightly different approach in mind though. We should compare ideas tomorrow!

Banners will temporarily break down while I am updating them to the new system. Please hold for a few moments of disconnection with the your favourite advertisement delivery service.

Your advertisement delivery service is up and running again!

Explanation can be found in IC advertisement banners!; finally, this is done!
