Outline theme + Ad Management mod - problem

Immortalq · July 17, 2009, 03:49:48 PM

Firstly - i know that i should post this on theme authors forum - which i did, but unfortunately i can't get support there (nobody replied for almost 36h now) and i really need to fix this.

Well i have installed latest AD Management with SMF 2.0 RC1-1. I'm using Outline style (just the blue version of it). After installing mod, it kinda screwed my footer, it looks like this:

Ive set "display ads between posts (every 3)", it look ok on main page, topic page.

How to fix this? Please, help.

Hi there.

Generally, support/questions on specific modifications are made in the modification's support topic. Every modification submitted to the mod site has its own topic in Modifications and Packages. You can find a link to it on the mod's download page under "support and comments".

That's true i reviewed support topic for Ad Management mod and as You can see, people with template problem like me are send to theme designer -> where like i said before i did go too - without result. That's why i posted here, hoping that some smart guy with knowledge of smf2 template system will be able to help me.

Outline calls the standard Display.template.php from the default theme. The problem has to be in the mod coding.

How so?

With Core Theme, works fine.

How so? Simple. Without the mod the theme is fine. The mod affects a template that is called straight from default without any alteration by the Outline theme. Therefore, the problem must be in the mod's coding. Can't be any other way.

At a guess I would say it is due to how the mod handles the last post on a page. Obviously it isn't displaying an ad there so the coding must do something else, and this is what causes the problem. The default theme does not have a footer joined to the rest of the theme so you wouldn't notice it on default, but I bet it affects any custom theme that has a structure similar to Outline.
