Have you made the necessary edits needed for the mod to work on a custom theme?

All the mods work only with the default themes. I order to make them work with custom themes some changes are required. Fore more info have a look at the below links

If you are running a custom theme you can still install the mod as long as there are no errors. After that all that is left to do is template edits. Which means only do edits to the necessary template files that are in your custom theme folder.

Judging from his/her screenshot, he/she has already installed the mod. So the only thing left now, would be only the 4 template edits of the custom theme, hence my links above

ok... sorry.. i was just in the smfads site and saw the post for the edits... (please kindly delete my inquiry there)

all of my files were installed correctly except for the index.template.php ...

so i added the appropriate codes for the file and my ads started showing up... all except for the

Code Select Expand

</td>

// Welcome Ads

because im not sure which instance of the </td> i need to add the code to... (theres quite a few...)

so... if someone would clarify.... id be peachy keen!



(also the reports thing i just saw on firefox... and i guess those are check marks idicating placement... doh... thought there would be some cool number or image or something)

[Bigguy]

I was just making sure that they new all they had to do was the template edits and not all of them. That was not explained.

That edit might not be in all themes...at least I have a hard time finding it in some themes and I have edited a lot of them.

im actually using the default theme...

From the screenshot that you provided above it was a custom theme. Did you switch back to the default?

Anyhow, no changes are needed for the default theme, provided that the mod installed clean without errors. But if you got an error/errors, during the install, then make a note of the files that gave the error messages and then apply manually the codes that the ad mod ads to those files. Hope this helps

nope...it is in fact a copy of the default theme (core)...

i just changed the background resized the table and fancied up the header and footer...

[Bigguy]

If it is the default theme you are using then the mod should have found and done that edit. If there were no errors on install then that edit is done.

aha... ive figured it out... it edited the index template on my default folder and not my copy of the default theme folder

(yet it the forum actually pulls the rest of the necessary files from the default folder even when using my modified default theme)

so i added that last bit of code...

above this little ditty right?

Code Select Expand

</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>';

echo '
<table id="upshrinkHeader2"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', ' width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>';


and now i know... where the alleged "welcome user area" is

[Bigguy]

Glad to hear you figured it out. With a little work anything is possible.

[The Tornado]

[Bigguy]

Dilber might not have that edit in it. You can leave it out and the mod will still work.

Been using the ad mod for a while, but only just noticed this.

I have a moderator of one forum, which has global permissions. This moderator can see ads under posts even though in the global permissions I have set it so that every membergroup EXCEPT guests do not see any ads at all.

This is not happening for super mods, normal members etc. How can I sort this? I tried making the permissions local then turning off ads for mods, but that option isn't there.
