Banner Placement

[theboxinghistorian]

Im working with a template and I have in Config - Layout Settings - Banner Display Group - Header Position 1, I selected banner1 but nothing appears in the location. Needing some help with managing the placement of my banners.

If banner 1 is set on then anywhere this code is placed your banner will show


<!--bof-banner #1 display -->
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET5 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerOne" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
<?php
}
}
?>
<!--eof-banner #1 display -->


If using a not zen cart template who knows if you have any banner code

I have no idee how to set the banner settings in the admin section but i did create a banner for the bottom of my site, it displayed below the copyright message and i wanted it above that. I searched the forum but ebenthough the question was raised there was no answer that i found. I finally found a way to get it to show above the copyright message.
The banner showed up as banner 6 and i went into the tpl_main_page.php and moved

<!--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 -->

to show up above

" <?php
/**
* prepares and displays footer output
*
*/"
then i commented out the original lines and voila the banner showed up above the copyright.
Am i messing things up here or is this the only way to get that banner to show up like that?

Thanks

You wouldn't select "banner1", but rather a banner group such as BannersAll or Wide-Banners.

I had the same issue. I just hard coded my html into the appropriate php page. I'd like to figure out how to be able to code it up so it can be manipulated via the Admin panel. I guess I'll need to learn more php.
