I've look at the struts.xml, tiles.xml, JSPs, and Actions, all I can figure is that something in SelectCategoryAction determines whether or not the tiles page with the banners gets displayed or not. Do I need to modify the SelectCategoryAction to display banners for new categories or is there a setting in admin app that I should change?
I figured it out, it has to be a top level category with sub-categories for the page with banners to show instead of just products.
Thanks a lot mate i was scratching my head and this is closed after reading your post
