Adding Image to Main Page

[gjh42]

Haven't used the banner manager myself, but that sounds like a good approach. You can set up the banner to display in the shape & location you want, and she can replace the content.

This worked PERFECTLY. I went to the "Layout Settings" in the Admin section of Zen-Cart, then turned on the "Banner Display Groups - Footer Position 1" banner, named the group "Main-Image". Then i went to the "Banner Manager", created a new group called "Main-Image" and uploaded my picture. Now if my sis needs to edit it she can upload a new banner for the main image group all from the Admin section.

cheers for your help

I have one follow on question if anyone is reading this

How do i choose to show a banner on one page only? Is it possible?

I've just come to realise the main page image i setup in the footer pos 1 banner is repeating through all subsequent pages, i only want it to show on the main page.

any suggestions would be appreciated

cheers

The easiest way would probably be with your stylesheet. You can set the banner to not display except on the home page:

#bannerWhatever {display: none;}

#indexHomeBody #bannerWhatever (display: block;}

If you can't find the right id to use, post a link and I'll look at it.


There is a code method that will prevent the banner from being processed except on the home page, and if you experience slow loading, this would be worth doing.

Thanks for your help bud, i tried inputting the info you gave me but to no avail. I used all banner identifiers up to #bannerSix but to be honest i'm not even sure if this is correct.

I used the "Footer Banner Position 1" opening to upload the image, and created it under the group "Main-Image"

There is apparently some display styling in the HTML, which takes precedence over the stylesheet by default. Add !important to make the stylesheet override the HTML:

#bannerFour {
   display: none !important;
   }

#indexHomeBody #bannerFour {
   display: block !important;
   }

Actually, I can't see anything in view source or the stylesheet that should be interfering... odd.
