Is there anywhere to make the post ads not use the "sticky" post background color? Id like to be able to make it a different background color.

I have one quick question before I install it, i have to do it with parse because I have trouble applying mods,  what page do i edit to place my own adsense ID?

and this part: this file should not be able to execute standalone. You may have to run the following queries manually.

how do i do that? in easy terms.

thank you

Once you have the mod installed, you simply create a new add and paste your adsense code in the form. Its very simple.

change all instances of windowbg3 to windowbg2
if you want to have the color different than this let me know and I will tell you how

Thank you SMP

which file am I looking to edit SMP?

[jclawson27]

Hi, I'm still a newbie when it comes to all of this so your help is needed just on some clarification so that I don't screw up my site too horrible lol.

So I did all the code changes and uploaded them, but I'm confused on install.php file. I don't know what to do here, don't know how to run queries manually.

I am using 1.1.10

You shouldnt have to do this just use the package manager and it should be fine

Any body here for Help me

[bburg5]

I am looking for a rotating option to add to my page. I want the ads to rotate with each click...

Does this exist on here?

Thanks

[Bigguy]

Show two different ads in one place, on page refresh the ad will change.

[bburg5]

Yes, That is what I am looking for.... Do you know af any?

[Rowdy]

Is this mod compatible with SMF RC2?

Thanks!

[Bruno36]

Hello!

A version for SMF 2.0 RC2 is provided for?

[Yahmez]

Yes, That is what I am looking for.... Do you know af any?

Re-read Bigguy's post. He was telling you how to do it thru the ad mod. Not asking you if that's what you wanted... 

[Bolerro]

Hello!

A version for SMF 2.0 RC2 is provided for?

I hope there will be... but not sure if Jerm is still updating this so quite possible it may wait until someone buys it from him.

Hi, I've tried to install the "ad management mod" and it comes up with the following error:

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

I assume this is a default error message.  The test failed with several files:
themes/default/index.template.php
themes/default/Boardindex.template.php
themes/default/Messageindex.template.php

I am running wamp server on my local computer with SMF version 2.0 RC2.
the permissions for these files are 0755 - writable, and I'm unable to change it to 0777.

Is there anyone that could please offer me advice on installing this mod?

thank you

Hi there!

Since there is the SMF 2 RC2 not listet at the comaptible SMF list it will not work there. Last SMF of the version 2 branch is RC1-1.
So you have to wait for an update or use the version 1 branch of smf.

[mseraphim]

Thanks Mike,

May I ask, how is it that other people are then displaying adds on their sites?  Is there another mod that could be used to display adds as good as this one?

[c23_Mike]

Hi there !

Good question, I search for myself and wait for Ad management mod updated for SMF 2 RC2.
But if you search "Smf adsystem" you find this threas with exact the same question: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=89449.0

They use external software and put them in the theme per hand.
