NOTE: William mentions that if you don't have the Custom HTML module to use the PHP Module which is actually incorrect. I can see how you can easily get these modules confused as they are all named quite similarly so in the training section I have described some of the different module types.

 

Custom HTML Module - This is the module which William uses in the video above, it is a built in Joomla module which everyone should have no matter which PIPS 2.0 site or Joomla version they are running. This module has an editor very similar to the one you use to add articles so that you can basically add whatever content you like without having to touch any HTML to positions other than the main content position.

 

William could have copied the code which was displayed under the banner and in the editor clicked the 'HTML' button and pasted the code directly into the module however if you do not have the code only the banner image then the method used by William in the above video is the best way to achieve the task. 

 

Special HTML Module - This is a 3rd party module which I added after I gave PIPS 2.0 a complete overhaul. It replaces the PHP Module which I used in the very first PIPS 2.0 sites. This is a very simple module which has a large input section on he right labeled 'HTML/Javascript' and is where you can place any code you wish and assign it to a module position.

 

For example another way of adding the Data Entry Made Easy banner as shown in the video would be to simply copy the code which is supplied beneath the banner in your Traffic Payouts back office and paste it into a Special HTML module. This is a quick and easy way to do it however it does mean you are working directly with HTML and if you need to make any alterations you will need to edit the HTML itself. For example in the video above to center the banner William simply clicks the center button however to center the banner using the special HTML module you would need to wrap the banner with center tags <center></center>.

 

PHP Module - As mentioned above this module was replaced by the Special HTML module however both modules are virtually identical therefore if you are working with the PHP Module simply follow the same instructions as the Special HTML module.
