Mint Tree,
Hi. I am trying to place an affiliate banner advertisement into my blog using BWT. The banner code looks like this:
<a href=”http://www.affiliatedomain.com/?aff=ENTERID”><img src=”http://www.affiliatedomain.com/affiliates/banners/120×240_1.gif” alt=”words words words” border=”0″></a>
When I save the ad, I get this error message:
For banners_group_input, max character 10; must have at least 1 characters.
I don't know what that means or how to make any correction. I would appreciate your advice on how to fix.
EDIT: Ok, I found the problem. New question: How do I place the ads in the right column. All of the options seem to only place it in the content areas, but I'd like to move a verticle banner into my right column.
Thank you,
Evan

Hi Evan, you'll need to use the php output function for AdsMint in a “PHP Samsarin Widget” for the sidebar. The php output function for AdsMint is:
< ?php wp_adsmint('Group_Name'); ?> (you can place this anywhere to display the stored HTML data/ad)
From above, the “Group_Name” is the name of your ad_group_name. Note: you'll need to create new ad_name or ads_names with “Group_Name” to rotate the ads.
*I think there is an “Ad Implementation” direction in the “Create New Ad” page, which had more details on the above php output function.

Mint Tree,
Thank you, that worked. However, now that I have a samsarin widget in the sidebar, how do I put a border around it so that it matches the categories and archives widgets? Also, how do I control the background color?
Thank you again--as always looking forward to your reply,
Evan

Hi Dave, view the source code and see what CSS class is used for the widget (e.g. class=”Samsarin-PHP-1″) and then you can apply a custom CSS style to that class/widget in the “Custom CSS Style” box of “Other Settings”.
Also, I think you didn't input a “Title” for the widget, so the display is different from the rest of the sidebar widgets. In other word, if you input in the Title for that php widget, it should display the same as the rest of the widgets.
