Jaxman Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I have set up some banners for my shop (under test for now) but the banners are never displayed ? :( Why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Did you define the Banner Group as Test? And if so, did you define the area that calls the banner to call from the Banner Group Test? Example: This calls banners from the Banner Group called 468x50 that has nothing to do with size other than calling it Fred had little meaning ... :shock: <?php if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) { ?> <br> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="center"><?php echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td> </tr> </table> <?php } ?> This calls the banners from the Banner Group called Fred: [code]<?php if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', 'Fred')) { ?> <br> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="center"><?php echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td> </tr> </table> <?php } ?> [/code] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxman Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Well , I am configuring the banner trough the control panel in Admin section. My PHP knowledge = 0 so I guess I didn't modified any PHP code. The only thing I did I uploaded the banner , and mad a group called Dealers. I can see the status is Green but the Displays indicate nothing. Clicks 0/0 :( From here ... I'm lost. Where do I have to insert or modify the code you are talking about ?

Ajeh Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Now you need to edit the code where you want the Banner Group Dealers to display. The one in /includes/footer.php is calling the Banner Group 468x50 While this is technically the size of the banner, it is just a name. You need to edit the code to read Dealers instead of 468x50 or insert that code from above into another section of your header, footer, columns, etc so the new Banner Group Dealers shows.

Ajeh Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 No, but you can copy the code above for Fred and name it another group if you like. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
