You would need to clone the banner code to do this ...

Are you trying to add more Banner sideboxes or what?

I want to add more idv. banner.
It is not in the sidebox ....

It is like make new group ad banner.

But Zen Cart only give me 8 build-in group on back end setting. if more than this, how to copy the coding?

This is the code for the Footer Position 3 that is located in the:
/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php

<!--bof- banner #6 display -->
<?php
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET6 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET6)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerSix" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
<?php
    }
  }
?>
<!--eof- banner #6 display -->

The Banner Group(s) that are set for the:
SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET6

are used to run this banner set ...

You could copy this code to another position and make a new setting for:
SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET9

using this, you can add it to the Configuration ... Layout Settings ...

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, use_function, set_function, date_added) VALUES ('Banner Display Groups - Footer Position 4', 'SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET9', 'Wide-Banners', 'The Banner Display Groups can be from 1 Banner Group or Multiple Banner Groups<br /><br />For Multiple Banner Groups enter the Banner Group Name separated by a colon <strong>:</strong><br /><br />Example: Wide-Banners:SideBox-Banners<br /><br />Default Group is Wide-Banners<br /><br />What Banner Group(s) do you want to use in the Footer Position 4?<br />Leave blank for none', '19', '68', '', '', now());

Then copy the code where you want it and change all of the 6's to 9's ...

<!--bof- banner #9 display -->
<?php
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET9 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET9)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerSix" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
<?php
    }
  }
?>
<!--eof- banner #9 display -->

Then in the Configuration ... Layout Setting ... you will find the new setting for:
SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET9

where you can set the Banner Group(s) ...
