Thank you for all the information. It is a bit misleading, because in the default template it gives all the options and blocks for the banner slider, but not the code to operate it. In the end I changed over to the html5 template. I had it in mind to do it anyway, but I thought it would involve more work. It turned out to be very simple and within 24 hours I had my site back up and running, and looking very swish and modern. And I was asleep for at least 8 hours of that. Abantecart just seems to get better and easier to use all the time. Thanks
