  Best way to disable the rotating advertisement

  Jan 23, 2004 12:07 PM|lichenca|LINK

  I tried to disable the rotating ads by removing all the elements in the BannerAds.xml file. But I got hit by the following error: The AdRotator found no valid advertisements in the file '~/Advertisements/BannerAds.xml'. I could think two other ways to try: 1) Find a transparent gif file and add it to the BannerAds.xml file. or 2) Modify the skin file to remove the ad control. Wonder if there is a better way?

  Remove the ad rotator component from the page skin. Simple and effective.

  Even better, comment out the ad element in the *.xml file. This way, if you need it for later use, the code is already there. All you have to do is remove the comment tags.

  That thows an error. At least one ad element must be present in the XML file.
