I tried the one for the welcome e-mail and it makes the space for the ad but the html does not show up, just create an account and see for yourself.

Just set up a test account and found the reason
The reason why there is just a blank space is your emails are sent it plain text.
You need to switch them to HTML you can see how to do that here https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=113

I also suggest you switch your customers log in so that HTML is selected as their email preference most customers never bother to change this so they will see your adverts.

I can't remember how you do this but it is some where in admin.

Is there a way to tell it to only go 3 products wide? Problem I ran into was the width being limited and it caused the image map links to fail basically because the networking site I tried it on resized the banner narrower than the image map coordinates.

I think if you could tell it somewhere in the script how many products wide you want it to be then it would give the users more flexability. If it could be set in the admin side of the zencart that would be a good thing. Perhaps making it a part of the code would work too that you paste into where ever you want the banner to appear. That scenario could let me go 2 wide on site X, 3 wide on site Y, or 4 wide on site Z.

Just an idea.
