This is the code I have tried in the content section of home CMS page
{{block type="banner/banner" name="home_banner" template="banner/homenewpro.phtml"}}
This is the code I have tried in the layout part(within content section) of home CMS page.
<block type="banner/banner" name="home_banner" template="banner/banner.phtml" />
What is the problem with this code? What I have made wrong with these codes? Help me guys…. Thanks in advance..

First of all make sure the file
Karaokeshop/Banner/Block/Banner.php
exists and contains this class.also make sure the template
banner/homenewpro.phtml
exists inapp/design/frontend/{package}/{theme}/template
.Just to make sure, you can place it in
app/design/frontend/base/default/template
.I hope you also created the declaration file
app/etc/modules/Karaokeshop_Banner.xml
with this content.Clear the cache, disable the compilation and give it an other try.
You can also enable the logging from
System->Configuration->Developer
and checkvar/log
for any errors.
