Banners and ezflow

John Mitsakos	Tuesday 05 May 2009 12:06:03 am Hello everyone. I have managed to setup a website with the latest stable (4.1.1), did some mass search & replace for Greek localization and everything installed just fine, including ezflow. My only problem so far is banner management. I can't seem to find where or how I change the preinstalled ones and how to add my own. What I want is simple, have a couple of banner blocks (medium and small) but I can't find how to change what to show in this blocks, if I add them they just show the default 2009 conference banners. I'm simply overwhelmed and I'm sure it's something way too simple that I am missing, forum search didn't help me either. :/ Also I couldn't find any Banners folder in Media, I created one and thrown a flash banner inside but I don't have a clue on what to do after that. Thanks for your help. :)

They are located in <i>extension/ezflow/design/ezflow/override/templates/block</i> and are named <i>banner1.tpl</i> and <i>banner2.tpl</i> I've found their names using the <i>Template debug</i> and the <i>Inline template debug</i> in the Quick Settings block on the right side of the admin interface. => Very usefull! By my advice would be to create a new banner block with manual adding of item enabled to easily change the content image of your block from the admin inteface. Good luck.

" Hi Victor, Is there any documentation on how to do this? I need to do a top banner and side banners. All of them need to editable through the admin interface. Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

You can modify banners by modifying the templates used.

They are located in extension/ezflow/design/ezflow/override/templates/block and are named banner1.tpl and banner2.tpl

I've found their names using the Template debug and the Inline template debug in the Quick Settings block on the right side of the admin interface.
=> Very usefull!

By my advice would be to create a new banner block with manual adding of item enabled to easily change the content image of your block from the admin inteface.

Good luck.

Hi Victor,

Is there any documentation on how to do this? I need to do a top banner and side banners. All of them need to editable through the admin interface.
