Changing the image slider in the default template into a static image banner

[wdejager]

Hi,

 

I'm quite new to Prestashop. Until now configuring the system wasn't a problem, but I got stuck with the following. I hope that someone can help me out.

 

I am creating a webshop using the default template. But my client would like to get rid of the image slider on the homepage, and display a static banner (same size) instead. I tried to add just one image to the slider module, but then you still get the arrows on the banner. Is it possible to delete the slider and replace it with a simple banner?

 

Cheers,

Wiebe

Hello

 

Well, why not hide the arrows with a bit of css.

 

Or perhaps, you could use an image in the "home text editor" module.

 

Just a thought

Hi Paul,

 

I'd rather get rid of the image slider block, and just put a block with an image instead. Isn't it possible to create a 'CMS information block' (containing just an image) and hook it to displayTopColumn? This would seem like the most logical solution to me, but Prestashop doesn't allow me to put such a block under that hook.. Any idea?
 

Cheers,

Wiebe

Hello

 

Well, you can do that with the "Home Text Editor"

 

Or you can use a free html box like this one here:

Sorry if I am barking up the wrong tree

You can turn off (disable) the image slider module and then go to the Theme configurator module and add an image to the top hook. At least with version 1.6, I haven't used prior versions and don't know about them.
