There are a lot of options when it comes to banners. Banners mainly focus on the homepage but can also be added to a number of other pages. You can always contact a Peppered Expert via the service portal to add or change banners on other pages of the website.

To display a banner at a certain spot, you will have to select the proper type for your banner in the Banners dashboard module. Go to Dashboard > Website > Banners.

This banner is always at the top of your homepage in the full width of the screen. It can contain a video (without sound) instead of an image.

Text and button can be added optionally.

You can select different layouts here, like a split image/text option.

As of version 183 the showcase can also be a slideshow of multiple showcase banners.

The setting in the control panel is under Core and is called Showcase slideshow. By default it is set to off.

The parameter to autoplay the slideshow goes into the header sticky part and is called autoSlide. The value for it is the number of seconds each slide is visible before it slides to the next. So a good value is typically for instance "4".

This type of banner will be shown in the featured grid or slideshow on the homepage. This is a mixture of banners, news and featured events. If no featured banner is active, the grid or slideshow is usually filled with events. The order of banners in the featured flexgrid is as follows:

This type of banner will be displayed in a dedicated banner grid or slideshow (other spot on the homepage). This grid is usually below the featured grid. If no default banners are active, this grid will be completely hidden.

Sponsor banners usually end up in a small row at the bottom of the website. All logos are added by the sponsor footer. You need to create one sponsor banner per logo you want to add to this row.

This banner will be shown after a costumer finished a successful booking on the website.

This banner can be personalised by using Visitor Tags. To get a preview from this banner you use "Preview templates" in your "Special Access" menu on your website, and select the "Order success" template to preview it.

The manually assigned banner is a little different. A banner with the type "Manual assignment" will not be shown anywhere right away.

The "Manual assignment" type for banners is very versatile and can be used in many different ways. They can be shown within other parts, like the Coming soon part, or be placed in one or several dedicated “Assigned banner” parts.

There are 3 steps to make show a "Manual assignment" banner on your website.

Step 1: First you design your “Manual assignment” banner in the Banner module.

Step 2: Then you need to select where you want to use a Manual assignment banner. All places where you can show a Manual assignment banner are shown in the banner itself. If there are no options to place your banner here, see step 3 to add new options.:

Step 3: You can add new places to show a Manual assignment banner on the Homepage (or other places) via the Routes and Parts. Go to Dashboard > System > Routes and Parts and click on Add. Make sure you select the right Route and the “Assigned banner” part. You can add the desired padding and bgColor and maybe other parameters. Then click Save.

Banners can have three settings that influence the visibility on the website:
