I’m afraid installing this component multiple times will not work. Your best option at this point is likely to pay someone to build you a custom solution via the #marketplace
I have only had time to address bug reports on this component for the past while, but in the next year or two, I plan to do a major overhaul that will hopefully facilitate even more versatility.
I’m using the component settings to only show the banner on specific pages. I came across two glitches in the css:
To supress both I have to declare .banner-box {display: none;} and then add display declarations for the specific pages where it’s supposed to show.
I feel like this may be a more general FAQ but I’m wondering how to deliver different graphics for desktop and mobile users?
Where are you hoping to have these graphics appear? There are definitely ways you can conditionally display things based on desktop/mobile status, but the approach to take will depend on what you are trying to do.
I’m using versatile banner to deliver a christmas message, including a graphic, so I want to be able to do this within the context of versatile banner.
Hmm, in that case you might be able to add something like the following to one of the Versatile Banner’s “content” settings:
<div class="xmas-banner-image"></div>
And then add some CSS to your main theme or a new component. Here’s an example where you can replace LINK_TO_MOBILE_IMAGE with the actual image link:
.mobile-view .xmas-banner-image {
background-image: url("LINK_TO_MOBILE_IMAGE");
height: 50px;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
}
.desktop-view .xmas-banner-image {
background-image: url("LINK_TO_DESKTOP_IMAGE");
height: 200px;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
}
You’ll have to tinker with the CSS, but hopefully that gets you started.
Very good. I had feeling that it was going to need a CSS solution. Thanks for taking the time to provide a starting point.
I’d like to use this to specifically target “/latest?assigned=”, to be used in conjunction with the Discourse Assign plugin, so that I can add a button for topics that are assigned to All, Me and Nobody.
However, this doesn’t work - I assume it is the “?”, since “/latest” works. Any suggestions on how to get this banner to only show for these pages/views?
Also, even with only “/latest” selected, the banner is showing on the home page as well. How can I prevent this from happening? I didnt see the checkbox to display on homepage in the settings.
Finally, is there a way to make the icon clickable? It seems like only the text below the icon is.
These would be more complex customizations you would need to add to a separate component. There’s an example on how to reopen one of the widgets and adjust the behavior here: Versatile Banner - #158 by tshenry
For the icons, I guess you could also try hacking together a CSS solution. You could potentially add an anchor element to the column content settings and style it to overlap the image.
Thanks very much! I’m sure I can figure it out from here.
Is there a way to preview a versatile banner without first enabling the theme? 
I would like to see how it looks before unveiling it to the world (and then finding an embarrassing mistake) 
I keep a development droplet for changes. $5 a month and can see if anything messes up before I break something lol.
I assume can do the same on localhost. that said Im going to make a vm for that and save the $5 a month lol
Hmm, I didn’t think of that
And further to today’s announcement I might just do that very thing, but on a Raspberry Pi 
Has anyone been able to get this banner to work on top of the search bar component?
So far I have only been able to get this under the search bar 
I have both installed on my test site, and I can swop the position by ticking the swap default positioning setting in Versatile Banners. Could that work for you too?
Hmmm… this is weird… maybe you think it’s a setting for the search bar component… i do have below-site-header checked for my search bar.
What are your searchbar settings?
With below-site-header for the Search Banner, I can toggle the Versatile Banner above or below using the swap default positioning setting.
If I have the plug-in outlet of the Search Banner set to above-main-container then the Versatile Banner is always on top, whether I tick swop or not.

I just launched my forum and I’m still on the hosted plan.
I love this banner, I just have one question…
I would love to have a dark mode and a light mode (ie, different color schemes and different background image/color) - is there a setting I’m missing or a way to accomplish this?
I installed the theme component twice, and named one Light and the other Dark, and then attached the Light one to my Light theme, and the Dark one to my Dark. 
Though the Light one doesn’t swop colour palette when the default dark mode color scheme id is set, so it’s not 100% perfect.
