Can this be done with banner manager?

[julieoolie]

I've seen this on two sites, I think they're Zen carts (but I could be wrong).

On the homepage there are three banners (above the new & featured items). Two little ones and a big one that rotate. Is this something that can be done using the banner manager? Is there a mod out there for this?

It's built it ZC already.

How do you do it? I can only figure out the sidebox and bottom of page banners.

anyone know?

There are 6 possible banner locations in the header, main section and footer - You can pick the code for them up and move it around. Just remember which one you put where.

Thanks. I'm not sure where I would find this code? I'm sure I can figure it out if you point me in the right direction.

I set up test banners and have them all appearing on my site right now but they aren't really in the right places.

Open your Admin> Tools> Developers Tool Kit - in the lower left hand box enter: SHOW_BANNERS - choose all of the Catalog files - That will bring up all the ifles that has that phrase. Look for the template files that you want to make changes to.

Thank you!! I got it set up perfect!

Now I just have to figure out how to get it to show only on the home page.

if($this_is_home_page){
// put the banner code here
}

Thanks! But I can't get it to work. This is what I put:

<?php

if($this_is_home_page){ 
<center><table width="540" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td valign="top" align="left"><?php
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET1)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerOne" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
<?php
    }
  }
?></td>
            <td valign=" top" align="left" rowspan="2"><?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
    }
  }
?></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td valign="top" align="left"><?php
              if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2)) {
                if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
      <div id="bannerTwo" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);?></div>
<?php
                }
              }
?></td>
        </tr>
</table></center> } ?>

I don't know php at all so it may be something simple help?
