Hi, I am working on an add-on that will be uploaded FOC so if you can give me a few days to finish it then you should be able to place banners on any page you want using a custom admin page. It will also be safe for future Phoenix Cart upgrades as it does not touch any core files.
Attached images are a very rough first draft
Trying to add a banner to the top of the category page

Re: Trying to add a banner to the top of the category page
Hi tessthepup,
I think I have it now sorted with the help of burt, he pointed me in the right direction to edit the two files needed, I did have a quick try and the banners appeared in the correct place, however it turns out I think I was editing the files in the wrong place (I should be editing in the override folder, see my previous post), I actually learn more this way.
But saying that I will give your addon a try when finished as it looks like it can do a lot more than just the category page, it will be worth playing with it and see how things look
and as you say it will be better as I will be able to upgrade (when/if I ever get to the point where I know what I am doing)
(or maybe you might want to consider making it a paid for addon, I suppose it depends on how much work you have to put into it ? from what I can see in your images it seems like a lot of work )

/public_html/shop/templates/override/includes/modules/content/index_nested/templates/tpl_cm_in_title.php
/public_html/shop/templates/override/includes/modules/content/index_products/templates/tpl_cm_ip_title.php
If overriding a TPL file, no need for that templates/ folder piece (marked in red).
Otherwise...correct.
Note that when you override into any theme, maybe override, maybe Ignis, maybe "whatever", if you then stop using that template...the changes disappear UNTIL you override them again in your new template. Hopefully that make sense?

Re: Trying to add a banner to the top of the category page
Its looking good I see you are really going for it, it seems to be growing I also like to orange colour
It looks like your having to add lots of different sizes to cater for desktop computers and smaller mobile devices, far too many different screen resolutions out there nowadays.
Maybe one day someone will make a android app of Phoenix cart for the smaller screens.
