Banner not showing

I've got a Notification banner that informs the customer about shipping delays around Christmas.

It used to show up in the plainbox, but I think that was removed in the lastest zen version.

When I activate the banner it doesn't show up anywhere on ny of the pages.

Is there something else I need turned on to see the wide-banners?

Re: Banner not showing

I fixed it by creating a new banner group.

Re: Banner not showing

I would love to know this info. You know how many times I have tried to upload a banner and it would NOT show up on the side or on the bottom. Can anyone help me? I would like the Buttons/Banners to be on the side of my page.. Can someone help?

Re: Banner not showing

A Banner belongs to a Banner Group, as assigned by you in the Banner Manager ...

You can use an existing Banner Group, or type in a new name for it ...

As you add Banners to a Banner Group, you will notice the next time that the Banner Group will appear in the dropdown ...

The dropdown is self learning ...

Then, in the Configuration ... Layout Settings ...

There are 8 places where you can add "what" Banner Group should be assigned to which banner location on your shop ...

This can be 1 Banner Group to many Banner Groups ...

Leaving the setting Blank turns OFF the Banner ...

So, if you add a new Banner to a Banner Group called: MyStuff

... but never add the Banner Group name: MyStuff to any of the Layout Settings for the Banner Groups ... you will never see the new Banner you added in the Banner Manager ...

The 9th Banner Group in the Layout Settings ... is for Banners All ...

This is a special Banner box that shows multiple banners at the same time in the order that you assign in the Banner Manager ...

Something I often recommend to everyone is to install a test directory with a test database with the demo products so that you can test all of the features in Zen Cart and really see how they work ...

Re: Banner not showing

I am sorry, but that confused me. LOL

Can you do a step by step for me.. Maybe I am missing something.
