Banner advertisements

Smarty has a new entity — advertising banner. Conceptually, this is a new mechanism for displaying advertising images with text and a transition to action button, which can be targeted to a particular audience within the subscriber base.

The interface implementation is currently only available in the Sibseti & #8212 template; these banners are displayed on the home screen instead of the background image.

Advertising banners can be created manually through the administration panel, and automate their creation through Content API Methods. More information about setting up and creating banners can be read in documentation.

The attractiveness of tariffs

The tariff has a field « Additional attributes» with which you can fill the tariff cards with additional information.

For example, in the new interface Titanium this field is used to implement different gradient backgrounds for tariff cards using fields bg_first_color and bg_second_color.

In addition, the tariff has a new field «Archive», for the ability to conveniently remove outdated tariffs from the line — users who have already connected this tariff will continue to see it in the interface, but for the rest it will be hidden.
