Hi Guys

Having a problem locating a break in the code to place a leaderboard flash ad below my menu bar.

If someone could point me on my way the rest should be fine.

Thanks

This is from my site. The code is in index.template.php for the theme(s) you are using.

Code Select

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();

// Show ad banner.
echo '<br /><div style="text-align:center; position: relative; top:5px;"><a href="http://www.tapfs.com/tour-dates/23-2009/129-north-america-autumn-2009"><img src="http://www.tapfs.com/forum/Themes/tapfs/banner/NA2009.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br />';

// Show the navigation tree.
theme_linktree();

Thanks for the info...

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but here's index.template.php

Code Select
<?php
// Version: 2.0 RC1.2; index

/* This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:
http://www.simplemachines.org/

So where exactly did you try and put that already?

Find the code in index.template.php that says "template_menu();"

- on the next line type echo '
- paste in your code
- type ';

NickC: Not recommended; there are ' in the script, which would actually break the page if used.

A better solution would be to add ?> after the ; after template_menu(), and <?php after that block of code.

But it depends on other factors too.

Good point. I suggested that because it is consistent with SMF coding conventions. I escape ' characters with \ when they are included in scripts.

You insert it after template_menu(); and use ?> to break out of PHP, to add your ad bar, then <?php to go back into PHP.
