Banner managemant
Is there a way to use the built in banner management piece and associated widget/web part to show multiple banners from the same category at the same time.

For example we have the widget on the home page of a site and want it to show 2 banners from the same category. we tried adding multiple widgets but they end up pulling the same item.

RE:Banner managemant
Hello,

The default behaviour of Banner rotator web part is that if you set the same Banner category for multiple instances, each one of them will display the same banner everytime. So in order to avoid this, I would recommend that you split those banners into multiple categories and assign a different one for each instance of Banner rotator or make a new category with the same banners and just set Weight property the other way around (it indicates the frequency in which the banner will be displayed on the live site).

The third option is modify the code file according to your needs directly - ~\CMSWebParts\BannerManagement\BannerRotator.ascx.cs file.

Best regards,
