Ad Management mod

[Bigguy]

@ symon: No no secret. It is called the cbi mod (Custom Board Icons) and can be found on the mod site.

@ goitalone: You have this solved then.

[goitalone]

Well, no...the ad mod doesnt work right...I just tossed my old file back in until I can find out that parse error on the modded index.template.php file I just posted up there...I had to put my old file back in so people can use the forum...all the other files I manually edited and I hope are ok, but it is just when I put that file in I get a parse error

[Bigguy]

Try this. Just rename it to index.template.php and see if it works. BACKUP FIRST PLEASE

[goitalone]

...hmmm the site works now but everything is all jumbled and out of place take a look lol.

Do you mean all the sda and friends banners. Looks like you have all the options checked to show that ad everywhere.

[goitalone]

Yeah, that was some of the problem, but something still isn't quite right I dont think...something is making the screen gltichy with underlined hyperlink looking gltiches

[goitalone]

Ok, I turned them all off..no glitches that I can tell anymore, but I need to still test it and find out what was doing it exactly.

What did you change in my file btw?

[Bigguy]

I'm sorry you will have to explain a bit better. It all looks good to me. I like your background, very nice.

Glad its working.

Thanks, I thought it was a great pic.

Um..the glitches ..well, when I had the ads displaying (not sure which combonation yet) it would be interfering with the whole page and ALL of the hyperlinks of the page with flickering underlined words.

[Bigguy]

I have seen this flicker before but I am not sure what causes it. I don't think it has anything to do with the ad mod.

[goitalone]

I see...well thanks for the help...I am going to test it some more and see if I can find out whats going on exactly I guess.

[goitalone]

Hmm...could be because of the way I am placing the code?

I have seen it before too but only when I was using this mod.

This is the code I am placing into it:

Code Select Expand

[Bigguy]

Nothing wrong with that that I know of. I will be back later and maybe we can figure it out. I have to run.

[goitalone]

OK, well, when ya get back, I just noticed something....there is some invisible text on the screen to the left inbetween the menu and the news fader. And I am not sure why yet. It is the he link to my chat room that is placed in the ad I am trying to put up and it is clickable and takes me to the chat.

[goitalone]

This is disgusting...I gotta fix it lol

[Meancode]

Why don't the banner ads show up on the forum when people are not logged in? This makes no sense to me at all. Is there a setting that I am missing?  Thanks.

[goitalone]

You have to go into your permissions and set it there as well.

I never noticed that. Thanks! All fixed.

Hello

I have more than 100 boards in my forum and I wish to exclude ads from 3 to 4 boards but for that I have to write 1,2,3,4,5,... till 100 except the boards I dont want to show ads but unfortunately there is not enough space in field and thus it does not accept complete range of boards and in the end few of the board numbers are automatically deleted. Is there any way to increase the field size or some other way to exclude ads from certain boards

regards
khurrum

@ goitalone: Can you explain "invisible text" or maybe provide a screenshot.   

@ khurrum: I will have to leave this for Jerm, maybe he has a quick fix.
