Ad Management mod

[TheListener]

Nothing happened.

Hmmm strange,

I have not got AD management at the moment, but I tried the code in Simple Portal block and it worked fine.


You can try it in a portal block, to check if your not mis-typing anything, if it works there and not in ad management, then I don't know what it is, are other ads working for you?

[TheListener]

The google ads work with no problem.

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

Thats very strange, it happening to me too, I never noticed it before, I use simple portal to display most of my ads so never noticed that, however, my Google Adsense works too.

Wonder why that's happening, I will look into it

[TheListener]

With the exception of google adsense I tend to keep ads off my portals.

Anyway to rotate ads in the same spot?

I think I read somewhere to put two codes in the same area. But this just shows two ads.

I have ads from google, and ads from another site and would like to rotate them in an area between posts.

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

yes, is we would call an image, like "thelistener" is trying to do, you could setup some rotation PHP script with as many images as you need and instead of linking to an  a image you would <img ........image.php />

The two lines with * are the indicated errors, what can i do

[TheListener]

All it means is that the one section of the index template requires a manual edit.

[naijapreneur]

Does it mean i can go ahead and install it. Then how do i complete it manually ?

[TheListener]

Go to the page where you downloaded the mod and use the parse instructions given for the version you use.

[naijapreneur]

Does it mean i can go ahead and install it.

Do you say i should install it in my admin area first then follow up with manual installation of the index template section ?
Or i should just go for manual edit.

[TheListener]

I would install the mod first via the admin area.

[naijapreneur]

Thanks, just did and it installed.

Hi everyone,

I have successfully installed the ad management mod.  However I am running the 'Mesh" theme with Tiny Portal v0.9.8 and SMF 1.1.10.  I was wondering if someone could provide me with the exact edits to get it to work in the Mesh Theme.  I took a look at the manual edits done to the default theme however they do not mimic the files in Mesh.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ah, okay, I have no idea how to do that, I guess I'd have to research it unless anyone has a quick code on hand they'd like to share?

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

the code widely available, just search this forum for rotate script, you'll find it, if you plan on using this for a main header banner, I believe there is a mod just for that purpose

Yeah, I think in the past I had found a few php scripts like that...somewhere.

Was only planning on using it between posts via this mod.

EDIT: I found that if I put say three different ads, in three different boxes, then gave them the same # in "Display ads within posts" that they would rotate and there was no need for other code.
