banner bug

[Mats Houbaer]

Despite a fresh instalation esyndicat v2.0 23 nov. I cant get my banner to work. It seem that the banner upload is working and I can see it in admin but it wont show on homepage only some text(banner description). I think somone should point this out because its a important feature!

Regards

Hello Mats,
Please check it:
***Open templates/yourTemplate/banner.tpl and try to find similar lines of code***

{if $banner.type eq "local"}
<a id="b{$banner.id}" href="{$banner.url}" target="{$banner.target}"><img src="/ads/{$banner.image}" alt="{$banner.alt}" title="{$banner.title}" style="width:{$banner.width};height:{$banner.height}px" /></a>

*** If such code is present at your file, replace with following or reupload this file from Pro2.0.01 version***

{if $banner.type eq "local"}
<a id="b{$banner.id}" href="{$banner.url}" target="{$banner.target}"><img src="{$config.base}{$config.dir}ads/{$banner.image}" alt="{$banner.alt}" title="{$banner.title}" style="width:{$banner.width};height:{$banner.height}px" /></a>

Hi

It seem that I have the new code and that the image uploading function is working, only it wont show on index page. Here is my code:



<div style="text-align: center;">
{if $banner && $config.banners}
<div style="text-align: center;">
{if $banner.type eq "local"}
<a id="b{$banner.id}" href="{$banner.url}" target="{$banner.target}"><img src="{$config.base}{$config.dir}ads/{$banner.image}" alt="{$banner.alt}" title="{$banner.title}" style="width:{$banner.width};height:{$banner.height}px" /></a>
{elseif $banner.type eq "remote"}
<a id="b{$banner.id}" href="{$banner.url}" target="{$banner.target}"><img src="{$banner.image}" alt="{$banner.alt}" title="{$banner.title}" {if $banner.width != 0 and $banner.height != 0}style="width:{$banner.width};height:{$banner.height}px"{/if} /></a>
{elseif $banner.type eq "html"}
{$banner.content}
{elseif $banner.type eq "text"}
<a id="b{$banner.id}" href="{$banner.url}" target="{$banner.target}">{$banner.content}</a>
{elseif $banner.type eq "flash"}
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" {if $banner.width != 0 and $banner.height != 0}width="{$banner.width}" height="{$banner.height}{/if}">
<param name="movie" value="{$config.base}{$config.dir}ads/{$banner.image}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="{$config.base}{$config.dir}ads/{$banner.image}" quality="high" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" {if $banner.width != 0 and $banner.height != 0}width="{$banner.width}" height="{$banner.height}"{/if}></embed>
</object>
{/if}
</div>
{/if}
</div>

And when I use banner remote function and want it to stay in "top" it goes and place itself att bottom. This if not is definately a bugg that e-syndicat team should have a look into...:no-no:

Hello Mats,
I investigated your problems on my local copy and have not found negative result. Please, send your ftp/Admin Panel/database credentials through ticket system with url to this thread. http://www.esyndicat.com/support/desk

Hi there I am having the same problem here I have a feeling this is due to the banner image being uploaded to a directory with restricted permissions, which directory are the images uploaded to so I can change the permissions on this.

Thank you.

Hi, Karl!

You have to change permission to 755 for your ads/ folder in your directory. When you use local banner, banner uploads to this folder.

Thanks!

Ok strange i cannot delete banners at all from admin panel. Any clue why?

Apply the patch number 3.
Resize it manually and upload resized version to the server.

Hm... if you have ability to create(upload) a banner you have ablility to delete it.

Also please provide the information regarding eSyndiCat version and patch version.

Thank you!
