Hi Cookie, 

You can find it under the Design > Banner Manger
the sliders are called Main Banner 1, Main Banner 2 and there is 3, 4 and 5  with the Demo set

If you didn't upload the demo info,  you may be missing these (I can't remember)  If they aren't there you can install the demo stuff,  or go to the demo on Abantecart and take a look at the formatting.

I've attached a screen shot of Main Banner 5

Hope this helps
Lee

Hi,
I tried the explanations but sadly that did NOT work.
Maybe for the simple reason the the slider block is Missing (!) from the install pack!
I did not install the demo and do not wish to do so as this will clogg the database with tons of stuff I'll have to delete afterwords.

So the "Main Page Banner Slider" block does NOT exist and I see no way to create it even with the developper plugin.
The blocks/banner_block/one_by_one_slider_banner_block.tpl seems to be missing as well from the standard installation.

Given the above, could you please help me with the missing files?
I really need that front page slider.

 Thank you!

OK, got it working eventually  ;D
I haven't noticed the "banner" part in the create block extension.
All is good now!
