Is it possible to change the default folder that the banner component for Joomla uses?  Currently, the default folder is "banners".  I want to use a different folder.  Is that possible?  What files would I have to edit, and where specifically in those files?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this!  :)

You have to change
images/banners to images/name_of_your_banners_folder
in these files:
administrator\components\com_banners\controllers\banner.php
administrator\components\com_banners\views\banner.php
modules\mod_banners\helper.php

and add folder: name_of_your_banners_folder in yourjoomlasite/images/

How about this issue in 2.5.4 ... do you still have to modify the banner.php files? Seems to me it should be handled as it is in the Media Manager... just make a simple change in folder name

Truth! No more need to change PHP-files. Just change "banners" folder name and path in already created banners.

When you press (In the Banner Manager) the “Image” —> “Select” the default php path folder open automatically the banners folder — Really practical & easy....

You can change the folder of the image/banner by choosing the path you want, but you loose the ability to automatically access the banner folder specified in php — You will have to navigate where ever you want to place your banners.

Changing the php files are not recommended as they will be overwrite to the default folder in case of upgrade...

Can you do an override on that????

My suggestion to the Joomla Devs:
The Banner Manager, should have the possibility to choose a user specified folder as default...
