banners are not displayed.
Customization
All
public pages are based on templates. These are a common HTML pages editable
in your favorite editor with some special tags which will be replaced by any
value by the scripts. These tags look like #%someword%#. If you don't want some
of these values to be available, just remove them from your templates. All the
templates may be found in the data/templates directory. On the top of each
public page is added content of file _header.txt, on the bottom is added content
of file _footer.txt. Both these files may be found in the templates directory
