Opencart v.1.5.3.1 - empty div banner

Question

I am using Opencart v.1.5.3.1.
I am experiencing a problem with displaying banners.
What I get is an empty div like this...

<div id="banner1" class="banner"> </div>

I have double checked that I have setup banners correctly in...

System->Design->Banners

and

Modules->Banners

I can't understand where the error is in...

catalog/view/theme/myTheme/template/module/banner.tpl

I believe the problem is in here...

<?php foreach ($banners as $banner) { ?>
...
<?php } ?>

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

I think the problem is that in your template file you have not a left_side bar that's why the banner can not visible on category page, hope it will help!
