You will insert ONE xBanners smarty tag into the destination template, for each "location" you want xBanners.

Re: Xbanners
 

It's very simple piece of code though - in the mod, you set a banner position, the mod generates a piece of code for you to use, such as:
{$txs_xb_pos_1}

and you drop that into your template where you want the banner to appear.

Re: Xbanners
 

xBanners is a good idea and I used to use it but if site speed is important to you then it is worth considering that this mod will put extra calls into your database to get the information it needs for all the banners in the rotator. It did slow my site down. I would trial it before you decide.

Re: Xbanners
 

ya, speed is a concern. thx

Theres alot of mobile traffic so I wasnt sure if the banners got pushed to the mobile site or not?

Re: Xbanners
 

another thing..Im running the responsive temp so would the banners xbanners generates be responsive too?

Re: Xbanners
 

No, they're not responsive and I'm struggling fitting them into my responsive templates.

Re: Xbanners
 

Hi guys,

Just letting you know, we hope to release a new version of xBanners very soon (within the next week) - xBanners2.

It will be fully responsive and crammed full of great new features.
I will let you know when it is ready :)

regards

Re: Xbanners
 

I have Xbanners2 installed with ModernLiving Theme for version X-Cart DB Version: 4.7.6 GOLD.

But Transition Effect are not working, it gives error message in console
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'animate' on 'Element': 1 argument required, but only 0 present.

Let us know your views on this to make it working ?

I can not raise the PHP, the site crashes when it's upgraded to php 5.6. This is what my Server says -"Here's the error_log, you need to upgrade the site since, specifically the TXS_XBanners2 module.
[24-Feb-2017 18:38:18 UTC] PHP Fatal error: The file /home/XXXX/public_html/modules/TXS_XBanners2/config.php was encoded by the ionCube Encoder for PHP 4 and cannot run under PHP 5.5 or PHP 5.6.
Please ask the provider of the script to provide a version encoded with the ionCube Encoder for either PHP 5.3 or PHP 5.4 or PHP 5.5 or PHP 5.6. in Unknown on line ". Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Thank you, Sue

Re: Xbanners
 

You will need to unencrypt it, remove the mod or update the module..

Personally, I'd remove it and install a slider such as iosslider or OWL-carousel - https://owlcarousel2.github.io/OwlCarousel2/ (free) since I despise encrypted php..

I found xbanners to be slow.
