[Koha] Using News in 20.05

Hello
I am studying the use of Koha. I started with Koha 19.11 under Ubuntu 16.04
LTS. Koha has been upgraded to version 20.05.03.

Information that was before put in OpacMainUserBlock has now been
transferred to some news item. When I want to edit news item, under the
drop-down menu I now have the following choices:
All
Librarian interface
Slip
en (English language interface)
OPAC News (en)
OpacNavRight (en)
opacheader (en)
OpacCustomSearch (en)
OpacMainUserBlock (en)
opaccredits (en)
OpacLoginInstructions (en)
vi-VN (Vietnamese language interface)
with same entries as under English language flagged as vi-VN

Now I have a graphic banner for the library which in version 19.11 was in
the field opacheader under Koha Administration/Global System
Prefereneces/OPAC. It has now moved in 20.05 to the news with display
location opacheader (vi-VN) with the following content:
<center><img src="/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/images/banner.png" style="width:
auto; height: auto;" /></center>

However, the link is broken as the banner image does not appear other than
as a "broken image" in the News table and when I reload the OPAC home page
I can't see any banner image either.

When I look at the source code of the OPAC home page I can see the
following code:

<div id="opacheader">  <div class="opacheader_vi-VN_item">  <div
class="opacheader_vi-VN_body"><center><img
src="/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/images/banner.png" style="width: auto;
height: auto;" /></center></div> </div>

However, if I click on the img src link on the OPAC home page source code,
I effectively can display the banner.png image. So although the link looks
correct but the image doesn't show up on the OPAC page. Does somebody know
how to fix that link problem?

Besides, this graphic banner should appear in opacheader (en) as well as in
opacheader (vi-VN). I figured to do that would require to create two
identical news entries, one displayed in opacheader (en) and the other one
in opacheader (vi-VN)? Am I right?

It seems with 20.05 that you can have either to display a news item
everywhere (all) or only in a single location, not two locations?

Any hints and explanation would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Best regards
Quynh

Thanks
