How to ad appearance to banners

Hi there;

any help would be greatly appreciated

I've been at this for 8 hours with no luck



I created two types of .tpl files and added them to the required place to be appearance type addons.



but no matter what I try I cannot get the option to show up in the appearance option.



I'm able to select them as block content but not as appearance.



what do I need to edit to have them show UP?



any help would be greatly appreciated and I would be indebted to you for any information on the subject. I don't forget help I will truely be greatfull for any help on anything if you see this question. I'm a beginner.

Its easier than you would expect.



edit /addons/banners/schemas/block_manager/structure.post.php



find the line


'addons/banners/blocks/original.tpl',



to add a new appearance of the file newbanner located

in your skins/basic/customer/addons/my_changes/newbanner.tpl

add the following code after the previous mentioned code



'addons/my_changes/newbanner.tpl',



then you might wanna clear your cache from the admin.

append the admin.php with ?cc to clear cache.

It was easier than I thought - I have a tendency to complicate things in my head.
