How to use the Banner Module?

Webayt The Banner Module in a CMS is used to manage multiple visual banners on your website under the same structure. With this module, you can create banner areas for promotion, navigation, campaigns, services, or informational purposes.

In the Banner Module, each entry can be considered a banner group. Multiple banner images, descriptions, and redirect links can be defined within a single banner group. This allows for the management of multiple visual content items within the same module area.

What is the purpose of the Banner Module?

The Banner Module allows you to create visual promotional areas in different sections of your website. Banners can be used to direct users to a specific page, highlight services, announce campaigns, or display important content in an eye-catching way.

This module is particularly useful in areas where visually-heavy content needs to be managed systematically. You can group multiple banners under a single category and display them collectively in the relevant module area.

How can I access the Banner Module page?

To access the Banner Module, go to the Modules section in the left-hand menu of the Webayt admin panel and enter the Banner Module page.

 Modules → Banner Module

This page lists previously created banner groups. You can add new banner groups, edit existing ones, or delete them if necessary.

Banner Listing Screen

Banner entries created in the Banner Module main screen are displayed in a table format. The listing screen may include the first banner image, URL information, group, sequence, and action buttons.

A banner group can contain multiple banners. Not all banners may be displayed in detail on the listing screen. To view and edit all banner content, click the Edit button next to the relevant entry.

The following actions can generally be performed on the listing screen:

• View current banner groups
• Go to the screen for adding a new banner group.
• Editing the banner group
• Deleting the banner group
• Checking the order and group information of the banner group.

How to Add a New Banner Group?

To add a new banner group, use the Add Banner Group tab. On this screen, you can select the group, specify the order, and define the banner images, descriptions, and redirect links.

1. Log in to the Webayt admin panel.
2. Open the Modules section from the left-hand menu.
3. Go to the Banner Module page.
4. Click the Add Banner Group tab.
5. If necessary, select the relevant group from the Group Selection area.
6. Enter the display order of the banner group in the order field.
7. Enter banner descriptions.
8. Upload or select banner images.
9. Add banner redirect links if necessary.
10. Save the banner group by clicking the Add button.

Once the banner group is registered, it becomes available for use in the relevant module area.

What is the purpose of group selection?

Group Selection allows you to associate a banner group with a specific group. This field can be used to categorize banners according to their usage or to display banners belonging to a specific group within module management.

For example, if you only want to display banners belonging to a specific group on a page, you can select that group when creating the banner group. For more general use, the default group can be preferred.

For more detailed information about groups, you can review the How to Use Groups guide.

What is the purpose of the queue area?

The order field is used to determine the display order of this banner group relative to other banner groups.

If multiple banner groups are used, their order values can affect the display order. Listings with lower order values may be displayed earlier depending on the theme structure.

To avoid confusion between banner areas, it's helpful to determine their order in a planned manner.

How to Use Banner Description?

Each banner may have a separate Banner Description field. This field is used to enter a short description or introductory text related to the banner.

Depending on the theme structure, the banner description can be displayed on the front end or used only to distinguish the banner content in the panel.

When writing banner descriptions, short, clear text that expresses the purpose of the banner should be preferred.

How to Add a Banner Image?

In the Banner Module, a separate image can be selected for each banner. The image ensures that the banner is displayed prominently on the front page.

To add a banner image, you can use the "Add Image" button in the relevant banner area. After the image is uploaded, its file name will be displayed in the banner image area.

When uploading images, attention should be paid to file size and supported file types. Images that comply with the file rules specified in the panel should be preferred.

For detailed information on general image uploading procedures, you can review the "How to Upload Images in the Webayt Panel?" guide.

How to Use Banner Redirect Links?

A banner redirect link is used to specify the link to the page a visitor will be redirected to when the banner is clicked.

For example, if you want to redirect to a service page, campaign page, package page, contact page, or other content, you can add the relevant link to the banner redirect link field.

This field can be left blank if you do not want the banner to be clickable.

How many banners can be managed in a banner group?

The Banner Module allows for multiple banner areas within a single banner group. Each banner can have a separate description, image, and redirect link.

This structure is useful when you want to use multiple banners together in the same section. For example, you can create a banner group to display several different services, campaigns, or promotional images side-by-side or in a specific order in one area.

How to Update a Banner?

To update an existing banner group, you can click the Edit button next to the relevant entry on the listing screen.

On the banner update screen, you can edit group selection, order, banner descriptions, banner images, and banner redirection links. After making changes, click the Update button to update the record.

The banner update screen may also include a "Lists to Update" field. This field is used to specify which language lists to update in multilingual environments.

For more detailed information on this topic, you can review the guide "How to Use Update Lists?" .

Banner Removal Process

If a banner group is no longer needed, it can be deleted using the Delete button on the listing screen.

When a banner group is deleted, the defined banner content belonging to that group is also removed from the list. If you may use the banners again later, it is recommended that you check if you really need them before deleting them.

How to Add Banner Module to Pages?

Creating banner groups in the Banner Module makes the banner content ready in the system. However, for these banners to be displayed on a page, the banner module may need to be used in the Module Management area of that page.

For detailed information on how to add modules to pages, you can review the "How to Add Modules to Pages?" guide.

The Difference Between Banner Module and Slider Module

The Banner Module and Slider Module can be used to manage visual content; however, their purposes may differ.

The Banner Module is typically used to manage multiple banner images under a specific group and display them in a particular order on the page.

The Slider Module is more suitable for banner structures that are displayed in a sliding or sequential manner.

Briefly:

• Banner Module: Can be used to manage multiple banners under the same group.
• Slider Module: Can be used for displaying banners in a sequential or transitional manner using a slider mechanism.

What should be considered when using banners?

Banner areas are one of the visual elements that attract visitors' attention. Therefore, it is important that the visuals are high-quality, clear, and compatible with the site design.

• Prepare banner images in appropriate size and quality.
• Avoid images with too much text.
• Write banner descriptions briefly and clearly.
• Check that the redirect links lead to the correct page.
• If group selection is used, make sure the correct group is selected.
• Plan the order of banners relative to other banner groups on the page.
• After making the update, check how the page appears on the front end.
• Make sure you select the correct lists to update on multilingual websites.

Summary

The Banner Module is used in the Webayt CMS to manage multiple banner images under the same structure. A description, image, and redirection link can be defined for each banner.

Banner groups allow for the organized management of different visual promotional areas. When group selection, order information, and navigational links are used correctly, banner areas can be displayed more effectively and controllably on the website.

To display banners on relevant pages after they are created, the banner module must be used in the page's Module Management area. It is recommended to check that the banners appear correctly on the front end after the update.
