Banner on Main Page Only

[BradSmith]

I've searched through the forums and found alot of threads related to this, but I'm a bit new to coding still and so I need a more thorough step by step explanation, if someone would be so kind...

As you can see, the logo banner (Banner #3, I believe) is below the breadcrumb and above the Products... this is exactly how we want it, but we only want the banner to display on this main page.

If someone would be so kind as to provide a really definitive explanation to how to make this happen, I think it'd be helpful to a lot of people.

Thanks,

Brad

Open your tpl_main_page.php

Copy the code for banner box #3

Delete that code from tpl_main_page

Paste the code you copied into tpl_index_default.php

make sure you are using the Overrides.

Or to avoid changing code at all, just put the image into your define_main_page.php file and it will only show up on the front page.

Open your tpl_main_page.php

Got it.

Copy the code for banner box #3

Where does the code begin and end?

Paste the code you copied into tpl_index_default.php

Where do I paste it? Which line, I mean?

make sure you are using the Overrides.

What are the Overrides?

Thanks for your patience with me thus far. I'm pretty sure I'm using an over-ride, as I have a custom folder where all of the module/template folders are located... Hopefully I'll be fine with the next Zen update.

[BradSmith]

I'd still like to know on which lines the codes begin and end, and which lines I need to paste the codes in between...

If you want to do this by programming, then this is the block of code in tpl_main_page.php that you would move. If you're using Zen Cart 1.3.7, then you will find it at line 100.

<?php
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerThree" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
<?php
    }
  }
?>

Where you insert it in tpl)index_default.php depends upon which other features of that page you might wish to use now or later and where you would wish this to sit relative to them. Assuming that you want it to be at or near the top, then I would suggest after line 17 and before line 47, taking care not to pop it in the middle of any of the block of code that inhabit this range of lines.

[BradSmith]

Okay, I've removed the code from tpl_main_page and tried pasting it into a range of lines in the tpl_index_default, but the banner won't show up anywhere... I've made sure that I've actually got the banner turned on to begin with, and it is - so I'm sort of at a loss.

Perhaps paste the section of the file where you are pasting the code? (along with a few lines on either side?
