More banners in custom sidebox

[nick04263]

I have been working on custom sideboxes and I have gotten around to creating custom banner sideboxes for specific pages. I also made custom banner groups for different pages but I have one more thing to figure out.

Does anyone know what code I would use in the includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_custombanner_sidebox.php
file to show ALL the banners in a specific group.

This is an example of how I have associated the groupset to the group name(in Admin):
<?php
define('SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET15', 'healthyliving');
?>

Does anyone know what I need to do to show all banner with group name healthyliving?

Thanks,
Nick

*Just a note*- I used the tpl_banner_box2.php file code for all of my tpl_custombanner_sidebox.php files. This way I could control them from the Admin section.

Anyone have any ideas?

The sidebox for banner_box_all.php is designed specifically to show multiple banners at the same time and allows you to place the sort order in the Banner Manager ...

You might wish to look how this sidebox is built ...

Thanks Ajeh,
The solution was simply to use the Banners_All template for my custombanner_sidebox. All that was required was changing the:
SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET_ALL

to:
SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET11 (the 11 corresponds to my specific banner group set).

I hope this helps anyone else curious out the topic.

Might of just been able to set the Banners All group in the Configuration ... Layout Settings ... to use that group rather than touch the code ...

But would that have allowed me to show all banner for 6 different groups in their respective pages? Just curious.

Nope ... sure wouldn't ...

You'd need to add case statements to the sidebox code for:
banner_box_all.php

To know when to run which group if you wanted them run separately vs together ...
