Re: Where are my banners?

Hi,

Without any details about what you have done, it is difficult to say exactly why your banner would not show. Assuming you have done everything in the set up correctly (time, banner code etc.) in the Admin banner section, and made the appropriate module for the banner, you are not yet done.

There are at least three general sections where you can place your banner. The first, and the most common place is near the top below the site logo. You can do this by accessing Admin home, then select "Site Identiy". Near the bottom there is a section: "Site ads and banners", check the box. In there you have to add your specific banner code: Example: . You also have to check the "publish" box to have your banner appear at the top.


You may also place "ads" in the left or right columns, by using the Admin module option.

Note that based from the above, although I have not tested it yet, it is possible to have multiple combinations of ads and banner, if you want to. Unlike traditional banners or ads, it does not seem that the size of the banners or ads are restricted.

Bear in mind also that he above options will appear only if you have specified in specific Admin sections whether the above sections will appear, in the first place. For example, an "ad" will not appear on the right, if in the Admin "Features", you indicated that the "right" column will not appear (see General Layout options). Still in the layout section, if you checked the "Layout per section" make sure that in specific section, the site where you placed your "ad or banner" also is checked.

Lastly, if you checked accordingly, each specific banner is date and time sensitive.

I hope others will help clarify the above, because it is just an inference from initial trial and error, and not based from extensive experience using the option. Please let me know what you will get from the above.

Honestly, I have not fully tested the feature itself because I am not at this stage in place ads or banners in my website. There is another potential use of the banner that I wanted to explore.
