How to display ads under MENU toolbar/ Header ??

[shiraz_homie]

Am a newbie, any help will be appreciated 

[Kindred]

edit index.template.php and move the code under the template_menu call....

(warning, an advert in such a location MAY have conflicts with your dropdown menus)

[shiraz_homie]

Well i don't have drop down menus

I added this:

Code Select Expand

<center><script type="text/javascript">
Ad code</noscript></center></br>


Under

Code Select Expand

template_menu();

   // The main content should go here.
   echo '
   <div id="bodyarea" style="padding: 5ex 50px 2ex 50px;">';
}

When i click on "Save" it says

The file you tried to save generated the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in index.template.php on line 267

Well, you can't just add plain HTML randomly into a php file.... it has to be enclosed in an echo statement (like the div statement is)

[shiraz_homie]

Can you tell me a lil bit bout that cause i don't know php ?

echo '   HTML CODE   ';

I know several ad mod and other mod can do such a thing. Why don't you use them instead?

You would simply do the following.

Code Select Expand

echo '<center><script type="text/javascript">
Ad code</noscript></center></br>';

Alternatively, you can use a MOD found here : http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=255

Code Select Expand

echo '<script type="text/javascript">
//interstitial ad
clicksor_enable_inter = true; clicksor_maxad = -1;   
clicksor_hourcap = -1; clicksor_showcap = 2;
//default banner house ad url
clicksor_default_url = 'http://grabfreemovies.tk';
clicksor_banner_border = '#aa0003'; clicksor_banner_ad_bg = '#e0e0e0';
clicksor_banner_link_color = '#000000'; clicksor_banner_text_color = '#666666';
clicksor_banner_image_banner = true; clicksor_banner_text_banner = true;
clicksor_layer_border_color = '';
clicksor_layer_ad_bg = ''; clicksor_layer_ad_link_color = '';
clicksor_layer_ad_text_color = ''; clicksor_text_link_bg = '';
clicksor_text_link_color = ''; clicksor_enable_text_link = false;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ads.clicksor.com/showAd.php?nid=1&pid=144059&adtype=1&sid=227726&zone=11489"></script>
<noscript><a href="http://www.yesadvertising.com">affiliate marketing</a></noscript>';

I tried to save after adding the code above but still it says Parse error: Syntax error . . .

Later i installed that ad management mod, and added my ad code, saved but no ad appears

You use multiple ' within the echo, which means you're closing & opening it multiple times.  You need to either use \' or " inside it.

[shiraz_homie]

I replaced all ' with " 
still

The file you tried to save generated the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in index.template.php on line 262

Cleared my browser cache and reloaded the site, ads have started appearing

Thanks everybody who helped me

Congratulations!

BTW: Interstital ads are some of the most obnoxious things in existence. I tend to avoid any site which triggers them
