trying to apply Ad Management to other themes

I would like to apply ad management to other themes (other then the default).  I have tried to make the same changes to the files within the theme that I would like to change (in this instance, I would like to use ad manager with classic YaBB theme), and I was not able to find all of the changes that would need to be made.  Any suggestions?

Just as a note, I was trying to make the changes to ./Themes/default/index.template.php in /themes/classic/index.template.php as per the install directions.  I was unable to find  <div class="windowbg2 clearfix">'; within the body of the index.template.php file in the classics sub folder.  Has anyone made this modification successfully? Thanks in advance for any help.

The issue is not with the installation of ad management.  It works with the default theme.  The problem is with making the proper changes to the files for other themes to get it to work with them

Okay, here's the problem.  I have done the manual install steps, and as I stated before, they do work for the default theme.  But when I attempted to adjust the following lines of scripts for the classic theme:

To the files located in /themes/classic/(filename to be changed), I cannot find all of the lines that need to be changed.  I cannot find the following in /Themes/classsic/index.template.php:

<div class="windowbg2 clearfix">';

or

echo '
         </div>

Or the following in /Themes/classic/BoardIndex.template.php:

// Show some statistics if stat info is off.

or

      echo '
   </div>';

Or the following in /Themes/default/Display.template.php:

      </div>';
   }

Or the following in /Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php:

      echo '
      </table>
   </div>';

I was able to find some of the spots in the code that need to be changed in each of the files, but not all of them.
