Is there any way of using banner farms as it would make life much easier on a site like mine (propertyportal.com) where you have skyscrapers in one location (right hand column) and banners in another (bottom or top of page).  I have about 300 different types of page which need separate content.  At the moment it seems to me that my only option is to create 600 zones, one for each page and style of banner.

Currently I am using admentor with 2 farm id's, farm 1 for 468x60 banners and Farm 2 for 120x600 skyscrapers.

I then allocate a zone to a page with particular content e.g.

HOLIDAYS & TRAVEL > Hotels = zone1

HOLIDAYS & TRAVEL > Hotels = zone2

So my code for the former, if wanted skyscrapers would be F=2,Z=1, and for banners would be F=1,Z=1

I could also mix zones such as F=1, z=1,2

Is there a way of doing this that I have overlooked?

If this feature is not currently included, could it be added in a future release?  Your product is very user friendly which is why I am trying it but it appears it might lack this extra bit of muscle that would really help on a advert heavy site like mine.

If I am mistaken I apolgise.

Thanks.

This system was not designed to do things like that.. it just is not that kind of system.. it is a low priced, medium feature, high performance banner delivery system..

I mean essentially ASPBanner is what it is... the way it was designed doing something like you are talking about while it may seem simple means a complete re-write of the banner logic and I am quite sure it would slow the system down a lot because instead of doing it all in memory as I do now I would have to get the database more involved.

It would also cost more if it got into more features.. I never intended this system to have a ton of a feature.. it's goal was to keep things simple and keep performance high.  Low price tag, high performance.. so to speak..

If you need a lot of features you have to go with something like banmanpro.. then of course you end up with a slower system with a ton of features.. and a very high price tag.
