Can this be done with banner manager?

[yellow1912]

Try:

<?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>
<?php } ?>

Thanks! Even I was looking for something like this... I will try this now to put banners like that on my homepage in the center column

my developers tool kit isn/t working so what file are you guys editing?

[MB1]

wow i got my developers tool kit working but i can't figure out what to change and where to get the same style of look


would the above code be for the tpl_header.php or tpl_main_page.php ortpl_banner_box_all.php i'm confused by this

[MB1]

i removed this piece of code from my common/tpl_header.php file which removed group set2

<div id="taglineWrapper">
      <?php
              if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '') {
?>
      <div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?></div>
      <?php
              }
?>
      <?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
                }
              }
?>
    </div>

now i'm opening common/tpl_main_page.php file and start playing with that trial and error baby

just removed group set1 banners with no issues that i can see

<?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
    }
  }
?>

and now the last step replace following code

<?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
    }
  }
?>

with the code above in post #11 and everything seems to be fine so far. Well that took a novice like me working off and on a few hrs to figure out, as i had clue what i was doing but it should only take a novice 10-20mins now that the we have a few easy steps to go by

Thanks alot MB1, your detail helped alot to let me know which page to put the code.

At first I thought it didn't work...

Then I realized I didn't name my banners in the admin area under:
Admin>Configure>Layout Settings>...

Had to name these:
Banner Display Groups - Header Position 1
Banner Display Groups - Header Position 2
Banner Display Groups - Header Position 3

After making those names match my actual banner group name, it worked perfectly...Thanks

and now the last step replace following code

<?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
    }
  }
?>

yeah no problem i like to post my trial and error code fixes so they are nice and clear. just the way i wish i could find answers to everyone of my zencart questions :)

plus as a novice you never know when you might have to upgrade your site and you need this info again.

see i'm glad i did this now i have easy step by step instructions so i can apply it to my new site
