Banner expire after 1 day

[bladecris]

Hy guys, i set up 2 banners 1 to show up today 10/7/2011 and to expire tomorrow 10/8/2011 (sort order 0) and the next one to start on 10/8/2011 and to expire on 10/9/2011 (sort order 1) they work BUT if i refresh the page 1 or 3/4 times the next banner shows up.

What can I do to make a banner today and tomorrow to be another one?

PS I want the banner to show up only on the main page.

The Start time is based on Midnight, so 10/07/2011 begins at: 10/07/2011 00:00:00 ...

End times are based on Midnight, so 10/08/2011 ends at:
10/08/2011 00:00:00 ...

If you only want the Banner to show on 10/07/2011 you would use:
Start: 10/07/2011
End: 10/08/2011

If you want the Banner to show on 10/07/2011 and 10/08/2011, you would use:
Start: 10/07/2011
End: 10/09/2011

Ok, thanks a lot.
But how can I have the banner ONLY on the first page?

You would find the IF for the Banner you want only on the home page, such as for the code for the:
Banner Display Groups - Header Position 1

/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php

Line #54 : if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1)) {

and customize that code with your templates and overrides to include what is in RED:

	
	
/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php

Line #54 : if ($this_is_home_page && SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1)) {

Now it will only show that Banner Group on the Home Page ...

Thanks for your help, but i still can see my banner on all pages, i copied this

if ($this_is_home_page && SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1)) { 

on my default template BUT the problem is in my crista_violet template because i have this if

(SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3)) { 

on line 70
i changed it to

($this_is_home_page && SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3)) { 

What's the problem?
