Here I use the module on a live site:

The module is used twice there. Once it shows the featured ads (3 at the moment) in the left column, and second it shows one random ad at a time in the upper right box.
Please do not post test ads there, thank you.

I'm using the free basic version and it works like a charm, thank you Pat! I will definately be buying the Pro version.

One question, is it possible to have several instances of this mod running on a single Joomla site? In other words, if I have 68CMotors.com, 68CProperty.com and 68CJobs.com could I have ads pulled from these 3 different sites displayed on my Joomla Community site?

I posted this same question at Patricks official support forum and got a very speedy response. I'm pasting the relevant part of it here for future reference should any other 68C users find it helpful.

On a single Joomla! installation you can run multiple instances of the module, like any other module.

Go to the module manager and create a new module. If asked for the type of module, choose mod68ads.

After that, enter the proper settings of your second database (server, username etc.) and publish the module on the desired module position.

I did never try it, but it must work. Maybe you want to try this on the free version first.

Brilliant!

This module really does work - faultlessly. I cannot recommend it highly enough if you want to promote your 68C business with a Joomla powered social networking site.
