Problems with banners

[Guest]

When I go into the Banner Manager to view the status of a banner, I get this instead of the status image " TEXT_BANNERS_LAST_3_DAYS ". I also do not see the banners in my store.

Where should I start looking to find the problem?

 

Thank You

Looks like you got the banner to show on the bottom. What did you have to do?

You see the banner in my store? I don't see it. I'm still having problems. But I guess no one has an idea on what it is.

I know now that it has to do with your footer.php file. Now I looked into my site and saw the site developer put there own twist into it. They have even told me that they have no idea on how to manage the banners. Essentially, they do not want their name off the bottom.

 

Something to do with the coding. Maybe if you have the original footer.php file?

Ok...

Here is the explanation: I have spent about 3 hours to figure this out...

 

They put this:

 

if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50'))

 

thing in include/foot.php

 

What that means if you want to see your new banner, you have to create a banner group name which is 468X50

 

Then go ahaed and add your banner and your banner is going to be at the bottom of your catalog...

 

If you would like to move banner arround just move this code wherever you want:

 

<?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

}

?>

 

Good luck...

Ok... That worked.

 

I had to have at least a Banner Group named "468x50"

For this text display problem, the developers forgot something in thescript:

 

go to catalog/admin/includes/boxes/banner_infobow.php

 

and find this line:

 

$graph->SetTitle('TEXT_BANNERS_LAST_3_DAYS');

 

and change to this;

 

$graph->SetTitle(TEXT_BANNERS_LAST_3_DAYS);

 

 

That is all

 

Good luck

go to catalog/admin/includes/boxes/banner_infobow.php

 

There is no such file. Maybe that is what's wrong.

 

I've checked both MS releases and I don't see banner_infobox.php anywhere.

oopppsss again

 

catalog/admin/includes/graphs/banner_infobow.php

 

 

Sorry,
