How do I set banner action?

**pram0310** · 09-16-2004, 11:41 PM

I've been going in loops with this... The banners are not showing up in my site. It seems the function in banner.php check if the action is "dynamic". How do I set this action value, or is it automatically set when I upload banners through banner manager? If yes, what could be the reason my banners aren't showing up?

TIA

includes/footer.php
Just below the copyright there is:

Code:

&lt;?php
  if &#40;$banner = tep_banner_exists&#40;'dynamic', '468x50'&#41;&#41; &#123;
?>

and then

Code:

&lt;?php echo tep_display_banner&#40;'static', $banner&#41;; ?>

Check to see if these are in place.

Hi

Those lines are intact. I did a view source on my site, but can't see any references to banners in the html page.

I also inserted an
echo "hello";
just before the code where it checks if the dynamic banner exists, just to check if it would show up, but it didn't. Any ideas most welcome....

Thanx!

There was something in another post.
When "Search Engine Safe" urls are turned ON in admin/configuration, that caused the page NOT load completely.
Have a look there.

Thanx for url-safe setting idea, that didn't work out unfortunately. However I did get a fix out of another similar post in this forum...

Once you upload banners, make sure the banner group is set to 468x50 in admin for each of your banners. I had created a new group called test, and all of mine had group set to test. I changed the banner group to 468x50 and they all show up fine!

Hope this helps other newbs like me
