adding extra images on home page - banners?

[noyloza]

I would like to add two images for product specials that I can manage from my admin. Are these banners? I have one banner activated on my template, I'd like to do two more. Are banners what I need? A plugin? In wordpress this would be solved using "custom fields" or something similar

Any help is appreciated..

Assuming you want them to appear in the center column, banners would be one way to go. Hard-coding them into define_main_page (still technically manageable from admin) would be another.

I can hard code them into the main page, thats fine. Right now I'm trying to use these two php statements:

<!-- BOF- BANNER #2 display -->
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerTwo"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);?></div>
<?php
}
}
?>
<!-- EOF- BANNER #2 display -->

<!-- BOF- BANNER #3 display -->
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerThree"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);?></div>
<?php
}
}
?>
<!-- EOF- BANNER #3 display -->

But its not showing up with both images together for some reason... Ideas? Here is my link: http://o-pd.com/zencart/

the image on the left only shows the title, not the image once I bring in banner-3...

Sorry, all I'm seeing in your center column is the slider.

Have you set the banners to display in the proper place in Admin - Configurations - Layout settings ?

sorry, here is the link again. http://o-pd.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index

For some reason, banner-3 gets duplicated... How can I stop this.

In my banner display groups I have them setup as: header position 1,2,3 each with corresponding banner-1, banner-2, banner-3...

Nevermind, I think I got it. Thanks for your help either way...

Can you direct me to a tutorial or add on I might use to put an email subscribe form in my footer? I can't seem to find much on this...

The only plugin I know of that allows you to offer newsletter subscriptions to non-customers doesn't work with Zencart version 1.5.X.
