Add banners

You can add as many banner sections as you want in the template. Individual banners can then be easily added, edited, and removed from the back office for each section.

Create a new banner section

Before you can add a new banner section to a template page, you must define it in the editor.json file.

1. Go to the Website section of the back office.
2. Go to the Design subsection.
3. Click Customize next to the template for which you want to name the banner section. The Template Editor will open.
4. Click HTML and CSS.
5. Click editor.json in the file list on the left. The file source will open in the center of the page.
6. Inside the "locations" field add the following:

     {
         "location" : "Offers",
         "label" : {
             "en" : "Winter offers",
             "it" : "Offerte invernali"
         }
     }

   where instead of Offers you should provide the name used to reference the banner in template code. The name must start with a capital letter and must not contain spaces (more precisely, it must follow the syntax of a Go identifier).
7. Click Save to save changes to the file.
8. Click Exit to leave the Template Editor.
