♥kymation Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 There is no banner rotator showing on that page. Did you insert the code in catalog/index.php in a section where it will be shown? Do you have at least two banners assigned to the group that you told the banner rotator to use? Are those banners assigned in your site's language? Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the index file there are some design problems as you mentioned. The code was there but on the wrong place, now I will try to see where to place it to be correct. ThanXX!!

Guest Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hi Jim, I really like this mod. I have a heavily modified site so it took me a while to get it to work. Not your fault. I just have one issue that I am trying to resolve. The righthand edges of my banners are cut off. I spec'ed the sizes in stylesheet but for some reason they are cut off. If I change the overflow from hidden to shown it shows the whole image but creates two banners for a split second when they rotate. Can you tell me where the code is to move the banner box? or am I doing something wrong? The site is http://www.lyonsperformance.com Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Try setting the size in the stylesheet to slightly larger than your banners. You could also set a width on the containing element that is slightly wider than your banners. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

Guest Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks Jim! It was a combo of commenting out the old banner code and widening the specs in stylesheet. This mod rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bharti Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi, I have installed this addon however I don't know how I can position this banner on my cart. I am using a customized template and want to place the banner just next to my logo. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bharti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Normally the code would go in your catalog/includes/header.php, just after the logo. With a template all bets are off. I have no idea how your template affects the stock code. You would have to ask the person who wrote the template. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

bharti Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The template was purchased last year and don't have the contacts. I have modified this template to quiet some extent. Is this code that I need to pu <?php echo tep_display_banner('dynamic', '468x50'); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 That code will get you a standard banner, not the rotator. For the banner rotator you need to use include( DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_BANNER_ROTATOR ); Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bharti Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi Jim, I can get the standard banner displayed but the not the rotator. what is could be the reason?

♥kymation Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 There are many possible reasons. You could be missing one of the files from the distribution. If yo have everything in place, then click on View Source in your browser and search for the string <!-- banner_rotator -->. If that's not showing, you have the code I pasted above in the wrong place or you have no banners selected to display.

bharti Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have checked the files few time and everything seems to be there. I cant see the string <!-- banner_rotator --> in view source and I believe the code is pasted at correct location but may be no banner is selected for display - may be very stupid question but I how do I check this?

♥kymation Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Go to the Banner Manager in your Admin (under Tools) and look at the banners. If you have never done this, you have no banners assigned. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

♥kymation Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 You have two Banner Managers in your Admin, and you added a third? How can that possibly work?

♥kymation Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 I can't help if all you say is "it didn't work." Either give a description of the problem or a link to your site. Preferably both. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 I see a couple of problems there: 1. You have only one banner assigned to the rotator. It requires two or more to operate. 2. The code in the head section of your page is messed up: <meta name="webdesign" content=" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/functions/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/functions/bannerRotator.js"></script> That first tag is not closed. It's missing the final double quote. That can make the browser ignore the following tags. Regards Jim LondonTown 1 Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
