[skj]

hi how can i ad ads on my forum? ad manager tool didnt work for my i got and error about my theme...

[Illori]

where do you want to add the ads? some details as to exactly what you want to do will help us help you.

[skj]

thats my themere and i want the add here my theme dosnt axxept the ads mod

[Irisado]

Do the adverts work correctly when using the SMF default theme?  If so, you'll probably need to ask for help from the author of the theme that you are using.

[Kindred]

your theme will accept the ad manage mod just fine...   it just won't accept the AUTO install and you are going to have to manually edit some files.

[skj]

can you help me edit those files somehow? i have no idea what i have to do

[Kindred]

the system TELLS you what to do in the install screen when you saw the errors.

its certainly easier than hand-editing the code to add your own variation of the advert directly

[skj]

look at this

[Arantor]

Yes, it's telling you that two things it's trying to find/replace can't be found, so you have to do it manually.

Clicking the little page icon by the change tells you what it was trying to find/replace.

Yes, or whatever code is there now that might have been altered by mods you have...

[skj]

because im super noob i instaled simpleads i didnt have any problem with the test and now my site is not working
i really need help right now

[skj]

good think i had backup my database !! i delete everyfile and i fixx it

[Kindred]

Not a database problem... a file problem...  and ALWAYS back up your files and database before installing a mod.

Finally, once again... help with problems with a specific mod should be asked for in the thread dedicated to supporting that specific mod
