The Promo Engine developed by Six Feet Up provides a way to manage the syndication of static promotional content throughout a Plone site from a single centralized repository of "ads". The Promo Engine leverages the Archetypes reference engine to place ads in specific regions of a site ("ad slots").
Need Some Clarifications
I have OScommerce installed at <a href=http://www.seomart.com>http://www.seomart.com</a>, I want to run banner ads on that in Left and Right Portions, I tried PHPads new which is a little bit complicated, Do i need to install Plone to use your ads engine, OR will that also work as standalone with OScommerce

Rotation?

Weighted Rotation
I've been thinking of moving the PromoEngine product into the collective and turning on the issue tracker here at plone.org in hopes that some other devs might want to help out. This may happen sooner than later :)

I can't find PromoEngine in the collective svn...
this is really a great Product - minor issues
There are however minor issues. When I configure slots 1,2,3 for permanent show up of ads in the left column and slots 1,2,3 for content dependent show up of ads in the right column of my site I observe some disturbance of the permanent ads in the left column by ads only defined for content dependent show up. The dependences for content dependent show up are fully matched. But the content dependent ads that only should show up in the right column also show up in an unpredictable manner in the left column where only permanent ad should show up.
And, yes, I swithed the kupu setup to manage links using UID's!
My left_slots properties contain among other entries:
...
here/portlet_ad_macros/macros/slot1
here/portlet_ad_macros/macros/slot2
here/portlet_ad_macros/macros/slot3
My right_slot properties contain among other entries:
...
here/portlet_ad_macros/macros/content_slot1
here/portlet_ad_macros/macros/content_slot2
here/portlet_ad_macros/macros/content_slot3
Is the observed behaviour a bug or didn't I simply understand the configuration options?
All the best
