hello,

i have successfully installed oscommerce and now i am trying out with the banner feature!

i have added an banner in the admin panel and turned it on ie green button!

i am a novice in php and i have found the banner is called in the footer.php and i didnt change anything in the footer except for adding some scripts like counters etc...

when i visit my webpage i dont get any banner at the bottom and if there is any error in the footer.php file i think it will show!at the bottom!

the banner on the top is adsense banner and i have put it there by just adding the code in the header!

to clarify my question:

i have the problem, as mentioned above in my first post, with the inbuilt feature of oscommerce, ie, banners in the admin panel which enables the user to rotate local banners with impressions/click views!

-----------------------------------------

hope to see a reply soon,

thanking you,

hello,

this is the actuall footer.php contents {quoted below} and after the php tag ends i have pasted the counters and other scripts which in my knowlegde wont make any difference to footer.php!

to add to it i have given CHMOD 777 to the banner gif file as well as banner.php in functions folder!

and as stated before the banner is enabled ie green button!

i have quoted the footer.php where the banner is called at the end!

do help,
