Ad Management mod

[Illori]

maybe Installed a mod? Broke your forum? No backup? This might help. can help you

I have been using this mod for a few years and it is great.  But now I am running out of banner space.  Is there anyway that an additional banner can be added alongside the existing ones. arboleas.co.uk/forum to see what I have now.  Any help appreciated. Phil

well, it looks like you have place for two banners in each row... just add some css styles to float them, one left, one rigth

btw... your members do not get annoyed by so many banners? its amazing... you will have more banners than real content

sir vbgamer, im having a problem in displaying ads in the boards. it seems that it does not do anything. in other parts too it doesn't do a thing. i tried to fix it but cant find the root of problem in the board. does it have a problem in the mod that i installed? because i installed the mod named started by column in my forum.

If you are using a custom theme make sure the mod is installed on that custom theme as well.

Not sure how to do that. CSS is not my thing. As to number of banners, yeah there are a few. But when we keep getting local businesses asking to have a banner it is hard to say no. But we have just about reached the limit.

You may try DFP https://www.google.com/dfp/
And think a shared place/s for banner... they will rotate over there, and located on the same positions at your % needed to be, etc... more equality on them then

The mod only supports the default theme. For other themes they have to be manually installed on them to work correctly.

my problem is related to ads managements mod installing on custom theme with simple portal. here is the problem.


if you parse the mod the second changes to boardindex.template.php is

Code Select Expand

<tbody class="divider">
<tr>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>';


add after

Code Select Expand


echo '<tbody><tr><td colspan="4">';
//Display ads Between cats
if (function_exists("show_category"))
{
$ads = show_category($category['id']);
if(!empty($ads))
if($ads['type']==0)
echo $ads['content'];
else
eval($ads['content']);
unset($ads);
}
echo ' </td></tr></tbody>';


at the time of installing ads mod I was not able to locate the find, therefore I predicted and compared boardindex custom with default boardindex

attached is my boardindex.template file. please take a look at it and see where the above code should be.

Thanks for your reply.
MY Overall forum default: SMF DEFAULT CURVE
I have two other themes installed. If I remove the other themes I shouldn't get this warning right ?

[rootuid]

I removed the other themes and everything works fine. Thanks.

[vbgamer45]

Glad you have it working.

[fullmoonya]

mine is still not showing ads in some part of my forum. i install again my smf2.0.1 and updated to 2.0.2. i didnt install other theme there. what seems to be the problem? :/

[vbgamer45]

Default theme?
Do you give each membergroup permission to view ads?

[fullmoonya]

Default theme?
Do you give each membergroup permission to view ads?

for admin permission is enabled. it shows ads in some parts but in other parts it doesnt display any ads.

[vbgamer45]

Are you using default theme?

[fullmoonya]

Are you using default theme?

yes sir, im using default theme. the only problem is ads are not showing in the boards.

EDIT:

okay sir, forget about my previous problem. i'll just change my question.

how can i set pemission in some specific ads? like i only want regular members can see this ads or only the membergroup i created can see the ads? what codes should i put in that?

EDIT2:

no need for this problem to be solve. i figured out now how.

[backend]

I have a simple non-technical question before I install this mod:

for those that have installed this on their forum, has your Adsense earnings generally gone up?

THANK YOU
