You can use the promodded installs by Chris S found at
http://forums.x10hosting.com/showthread.php?t=16058
or you could request at the market place for help.

...or you could mod the template file.

Exactly which template files??

Also will it work with the phpbb3 BETA1 which I'm currently putting on my account?

randomize · Jun 19, 2006

You should just mod the template file, for the template you are using.

The template file should be located in:

/public_html/your forum directory here/templates/your forum template name here/overall_header.tpl

Code Example Below:

Code:

Then just click on Edit this file in the top right, and insert the ad code right at the top, or in a relevant place for your template.

Notice in the example above the ad code is placed at the bottom of the file, in the Template Artimis

Working Example:
http://forums.sapiencreations.x10hosting.com

(Remember, ads must be placed at the top, without having to scroll down)

Hope this helps :S

It does but what about users like myself on the advanced rather than coprate??

and can that be placed up the very top as well or is it specific??

randomize · Jun 19, 2006

I am not entirely sure about that, you could try editing the header, so that along with the PM, login links etc at the top, you could try and put a link in there, that directs to X10.

It might work, I can have a look for you!

EDIT:

Amended Code for you Advanced users:

Again, Place at the bottom of the code and the Link will appear in the gap above all your areas in the forums. Just like the ads on

http://forums.sapiencreations.x10hosting.com

except your version will be a text link!

Again, hope this helps!

Master Yoda · Jun 19, 2006

EDIT: btw randomize, the forum link the the post above this one doesn't work
