Hi all, I am creating a site that has a lot of advertising codes, in different places in the same page and it depends on which section you are in, i have to change the zone id depends on which section you are in, so someone told me to make a custom template operator, is that true and how can i do it if it's the right thing to do, and if not how shall i do it. Note: the advertising codes is a JavaScript code Best regards, Nayef

While you might be able to do what you describe with a template operator ... I would instead interject that from the basis of your first post your could instead more quickly write and use a reusable template construct called a 'toolbar' to provide for your ad.tpl functionality! 1. Create a template to contain the logic of your rules based on sections and ad code combinations. No mater how you implement this functionality within eZ publish you will end up using a template. Which makes templates a quick simple safe place to start when trying to implement custom functionality. 2. Create logic to control the display of your ad based on your custom code combinations. 3. Configure your toolbar to be displayed in your default pagelayout template via ini settings 4. Test 5. Revise template logic 6. Repeat #3 and #4 until all testing is successful 7. Consensus
