I have tried Mambo's banner component and can't get any banners to show. I decided to try ArtBanners which installs well and shows up as a module on my home page:
Http://217.68.23.6/~the-bizness.co.uk/

I have put categories=1,1 as instructed in the Module parameters box but nothing shows.

I notice that in the module mod_artbanners1.php the
paths point to:
$content = "";
if
(file_exists($mosConfig_absolute_path."/components/com_artbanners/artbanners
.other.php")) {
include_once(
$mosConfig_absolute_path."/components/com_artbanners/artbanners.other.php" )
;

but I can't find artbanners.other.php and Artbanners has installed itself in
[/public_html] /administrator/components/com_artbanners/.

Could that be the problem?

It's driving me mad now!!

As silly as this may seem...

Does the index.php in your template folder have a mosLoadModules for 'banner'? I have not played with all the new 4.5.1 templates... but the one I have played with did not have mosLoadModules for 'banner'.

You may have to place <?php mosLoadModules ( 'banner' ); ?> somewhere on your template.

Then in look in Module Manager and make sure your banners are aiming to the correct 'position'. ae: banner, left, right...

Hope that helps you... happy mambling...
