I am a little confused on the naming convention in banner management.
Do I name the banner title "indexad1" and the group name "position 1"
If that is correct then I must be doing something else wrong. I am pretty sure I have the coding in the right spot. I even altered it slightly when it didnt work at first to have a place in the filenames.php file. (I am not entirely new to coding, but its been a while since I've used osc.)
I just found this contrib and it would be perfect for what I need, so I hope someone can help.
I added it after this:
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td>
</tr>
I told it to add this (slightly modified from index ad instructions because indexad instructions didnt work for me either)
<tr>
<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_INDEX_ADS); ?></td>
</tr>
then under filenames.php I added the following:
define('FILENAME_INDEX_ADS', 'index_ads.php');
After this I went into banner management I just added any image I had on my pc, linked it to anywhere on my site, using just the path. banner title 'indexad1' and group name 'position 1' I also tried '1' and 'position1'
So I think I am doing something wrong since neither of those seem to work. Same results if I follow index_ads help file to the tee.
