For anything more complex, I'd strongly recommend not rolling your
own; it gets really complex fast. M3 is free, and has a good feature
set. It separates from your CMS (although shouldn't be difficult to
hack up linking - can't remember if there's an API/network interface,
but it's open source so you won't lose it if you add one), but that's
not a bad thing because (in practice) if you get bigger you'll
probably need to do that anyway, either to fit in with a sales network
or to run one of the big boys.

What do you need it to do?

I have a bone-simple solution I use that allows setting up advertisers
and assigning them to sections of the site, and I'd be happy to share
it, but...
1) I haven't really thought much about making it portable. I know I
just moved it over to a new site I'm creating, and it's been pretty
much a drag and drop deal, but I make no promises.
2) It doesn't make any effort to track clicks or views, or any of
that. For my purposes, advertiser pays X for Y days was the way to go,
so that's how it's set up.

The "drop into my project" concept is not easily implemented.

you should probably bring this up on

Advertisement Management

2007-07-22 Thread Steve

Does anybody know about a publicly available ad management program
written using Django that I could easily drop into my project? If
there isn't one, I could always write my own, but if there's one
already started I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.
