Help with putting my adds on my forum..

[Holic]

First off, thanks for the hosting. It's top notch! :biggrin:

Currently, I just have my forums up, and I'm having trouble getting the little add up. How do I add it to at the bottom of my page? If an admin/mod could help, or do it for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again

The ad has to be at the top and visible without scrolling.

I can help you out. But just see if this set of codes will make it easier. http://x10hosting.com/ads.php

Thanks for the links, I'll give it a go when I get home from work.

I'm using phpBB, and I see nothing on here about how to add my ad to my forums. Could I can some help please?

Again, a simple forum search would bring you to Placing the Ads in Various Pages or even a simple look in the tutorials section as it is a sticky.

If you have any further problems, feel free to ask.

Yeah, I search around and read that. But I'm still a little puzzled on exactly where it should go. I'm fine with webpages, but forums are another story.

I find the best place is in the overall header of the template you are using

 

[Holic]

Is that the "header.tpl" file?

 

[sportman3333333]

yes it is.

 

[Holic]

Alright..here are the possible files for me to use.

simple_header.tpl
overall_header.tpl

And which of the following 2 codes do I use?

<?php include("http://www.r0fl.info/adcode.php?id=advanced"); ?>

or

<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://x10hosting.com/advert/adx.js'></script> <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'> <!-- if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ','; phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11); document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='"); document.write ("http://x10hosting.com/advert/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random); document.write ("&amp;what=zone:2&amp;target=_blank"); document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used); if (document.referrer) document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referrer)); document.write ("'><" + "/script>"); //--> </script><noscript><a href='http://x10hosting.com/advert/adclick.php?n=a4f0eec1' target='_blank'><img src='http://x10hosting.com/advert/adview.php?what=zone:2&amp;n=a4f0eec1' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>

 

[Richard]

overall_header.tpl is the one to use

Unless you are using the xsmod you can use php code in phpbb templates

so you need to use the second one

 

[Holic]

Alright Seeker, thanks for the advice. I appreciate it, any thought on where the best place would be for the code?

 

[Richard]

if you can between the title and the phpbb logo would be a good place

 

[Holic]

This is becoming a pain, but no matter where I place the code in my forum's head, it never works.

I've got the codes on my sites, all pages. But they don't always appear. They'll be there one click, and when I go back, they're gone. Then they'll re-appear after a refresh or two.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

 

[Richard]

I think it is caused by a missing image on the ad server

 

[Holic]

If that's the case, I'm really having a hard time telling if the ad is on my forum or not. I just want to get the ad there so my site doesn't get terminated/suspended/closed. Maybe an admin/mod could post something official as to if theres an ad missing on the server or something..

 

[Rhianna]

Would you please write your url?

 

[Holic]

Sure, http://tpl.x10hosting.com/tpl is my forum.

 

[Chris]

Are you using the code from http://x10hosting.com/ads.php?

Is it all formatted EXACTLY how it is on the ad page? If it's all on one line, it will not work.

As for the problems you had with it appearing. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but it is normal for it to not be there every once and a while. Now if it does it a ton, then I'm not sure. But every 10 times or so, it will disappear.
