Section Banner

Introduction

Section Banner allows site builders to display dynamic banners on specific pages, content types, Views, or routes without custom code. Each banner can include a title, description, and image. Fully multilingual, token-enabled, and theme-friendly.

Features

• Display banners based on paths, wildcard patterns, content types, Views (machine name or path), or route names.
• Multilingual support with automatic fallback if translation is missing.
• Token support for dynamic banner titles and content (e.g., [node:title], [current-user:name]).
• Shared banner images across languages.
• Custom CSS classes for flexible styling.
• Advanced Twig template suggestions for themers.
• Performance-friendly caching with proper cache contexts and tags.

Use cases: Different banners per page, section-specific banners, View-based banners, multilingual banner management, reusable configuration-based solution.

Post-Installation

After installing:

1. Navigate to Configuration → Content authoring → Section Banner (/admin/config/content/section-banner).
2. Select the language to configure.
3. Create or edit banners:
   • Enter banner title and body text (supports tokens)
   • Upload a banner image (shared across languages)
   • Define display rules (paths, Views, bundles, routes)
   • Add optional CSS classes
4. Place the Section Banner Block via Structure → Block layout.

No new content types are created. Clear cache after configuration changes to ensure banners display correctly.
