The "sponsored by" feature allows you to display user group specific html within the listing details page of any users attached to a specific user group. This "Sponsored by" html is displayed through the {listing tag='sponsored_by'} tag wherever it is located within the Auctions or Classified Ad Details Template(s). The intent is to allow you to brand your Listing Display Pages with additional sponsor links, thus increasing your revenue potential. To implement this feature you must first place the html or text that you wish to appear into the "sponsored by" text area for this User Group. Then, you will need to place the {listing tag='sponsored_by'} tag within your Classified Details Template(s) and/or Auction Details Template(s)

Once placed, the html or text you entered into this text area will automatically appear on the Listing Display Page, but ONLY when a user who is assigned to this User Group places a listing. Listing Display Pages of users within other User Groups that do not have "Sponsored by" html specified here, will not display any "Sponsored by" html in place of the {listing tag='sponsored_by'} tag.
