join the pro group and install the pro version. Laughing
the cpanel version doesn't have the banner ad.
you'll have to look through the store/protected files to find the stuff you want to edit/remove.
these ads are delivered by agoracart. most are kfactor ads. you may want to click on a few to see what the story is on the ads.

I have the same problem, but my banners are not appearing. What files specifically have to be edited in the protected directory to get rid of the banner ads?

i believe the banner account has been abandoned by agoracart. therefore it is a good idea to remove the manager banner as it's a real pain. the banner link continues to run and connect out without ever displaying anything but the connection seems to be handshaking endlessly. you can stop this by clicking on your brower's "stop" button. however, this needs to be done with every page transistion in the manager.

here is how to get rid of the pesky little bugger.

ftp your store/protected folder. transfer the file in ascii only! if you transfer from cpanel or an html editor's file transfer function you wont be assured of the proper mode. if it's transfered in binary then it will be corrupted.

download in ascii the store/protected/store_admin_actions.pl file. keep a copy just in case!
open in notepad or a plain text editor. find the line...
$manager_banner =
about line 214. the entire section looks like this...

$manager_banner =
'<A HREF="http://www.adwarebanners.com/ads/ads.pl?banner=NonSSI;page=agoracart;zone=agoracart" target="_new"><IMG SRC="http://www.adwarebanners.com/ads/ads.pl?page=agoracart;zone=agoracart" WIDTH=468 HEIGHT=60 BORDER=0></A>' .
'<FONT FACE=ARIAL><STRONG><h2>AgoraCart ' .
'<FONT COLOR=RED>D</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=GREEN>E</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=BLUE>L</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=GOLD>U</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=MAGENTA>X</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=SILVER>E</FONT>' .
" Store Manager ver. $versions{'manager'}</h2></STRONG></FONT>";

just remove the "<a href link"
you will want to remove the preceeding single quote all the way to the period following the </a> like this...

'<A HREF="http://www.adwarebanners.com/ads/ads.pl?banner=NonSSI;page=agoracart;zone=agoracart" target="_new"><IMG SRC="http://www.adwarebanners.com/ads/ads.pl?page=agoracart;zone=agoracart" WIDTH=468 HEIGHT=60 BORDER=0></A>' .

so when done editing the first two lines of the section will look like this...

$manager_banner =
'<FONT FACE=ARIAL><STRONG><h2>AgoraCart ' .

note there are no remaining characters from the banner link. the final edited section should look like this...

$manager_banner =
'<FONT FACE=ARIAL><STRONG><h2>AgoraCart ' .
'<FONT COLOR=RED>D</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=GREEN>E</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=BLUE>L</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=GOLD>U</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=MAGENTA>X</FONT>' .
'<FONT COLOR=SILVER>E</FONT>' .
" Store Manager ver. $versions{'manager'}</h2></STRONG></FONT>";


save the file then upload in ascii and overwrite the old file. the banner will now be gone and you can happily access your manager without distraction.
in addition to other problems this is really a pain for dialup users while editing the manager and refreshing store pages to check the changes made.

any probs just holler.
