you mixed something here :)

the <file preg="#plugin=#"/> code is used for so called "subplugins",
which means plugins of a plugin, they are actually handled by the main
plugin and the plugin= stuff is taken apart there (see the blog code
getContentById in particular).

What you do is to call

portlet://banner(1,6,files/banner/,true).xml

while you try to  match on "#plugin=#", which of course doesn't work.
portlet:// is just a stream handler for the particular request, like you
would do from outside, it doesn't prepend or append anything. So, what
you have to do is, either call


portlet://plugin=banner(1,6,files/banner/,true).xml

and take the code from the blog plugin to handle that. or do

<plugins inGetChildren="false">
     <extension type="xml"/>
     <file preg="#banner(#"/>
     <plugin type="banner">
     </plugin>
 </plugins>

You of course have to take apart your params as well there. Check what
you get in getContentById() in $path and $id, and maybe adjust
getIdByRequest() as well.

To debug that beast, just call (or whatever you write after portlet://)

http://example.org/banner(1,6,files/banner/,true).xml?XML=1

which should return you the XML. You have to be logged in to make that
work, otherwise you get just an empty page
