How to use bannerBotXT?
This article describes how to include banners into articles using bannerBotXT and gives a detailed description of the parameters available.
The plugin default parameters are set in the plugin using the extension manager. If these parameters are set simply include the plugin using the following code:

which would result in a banner according to the default settings:
You can override the default settings by adding parameters to the plugin code separated by "|" e.g.
{ bannerbot cid=2|limit=2 }
would display 2 banners from client id "2":
Available parameters are:
- target: Values 0, 1 or 2 for Parent Window With Browser Navigation, New Window With Browser Navigation or New Window Without Browser Navigation
- limit: A number of banners to display
- cid: A banner client id
- catid: A banner category id
- tag_search: 0 or 1, if "1" banners will be searched based on article metadata
- ordering: 0 or "random". If 0 the banners will be displayed in the order defined in the banner component, random obviously selects a random banner.
- header: A leading text for the banner
