does this work in default theme
bcoz i use helios multi

[Bigguy]

It works with any theme but if you use anything other than the default you will have to do a bit of manual editing.

[geezmo]

Hmm what manual editing do we need to do if we install it via "Packages?" I'm using the Amber theme.

[.Darkman]

what manual editing

[eriktm]

To get a mod working with a theme the author (in this case electrohome88) have written it in, you must go into some files and edit some lines...

[geezmo]

I tried installing this mod into my Amber theme and everything goes fine until the final step, where I press "Proceed" right after the execution test has passed. After I clicked the button the page just becomes white blank then freezes.

I changed my theme back to default but the same problem happened. How to solve this?

can you elaborate on it please
i installed the mod and everyting is fine even i could see the controls for the mod.
but the ads don't seem to show up any where

[eriktm]

Have you checked the boxes where it shall be shown?

[Bigguy]

In your admin panel under "Packages" Go to the "ad management" mod and click "list files" Then click on the "install.xml" file. In this file you will see sections like this:

Code Select Expand

<file name="$sourcedir/ModSettings.php">
<operation>
<search position="replace"><![CDATA[
'layout' => 'ModifyLayoutSettings',]]>
</search>

<add><![CDATA[
'layout' => 'ModifyLayoutSettings',
'ad_management' => 'ModifyAddManagement',]]>
</add>
</operation>


This part shows what file to edit==>> <file name="$sourcedir/ModSettings.php">

<operation>
This tells you what you are going to do when you find the place to edit.<search position="replace"><![CDATA[
      'layout' => 'ModifyLayoutSettings',]]>
</search>

<add><![CDATA[
      'layout' => 'ModifyLayoutSettings',
      'ad_management' => 'ModifyAddManagement',]]>
</add>

So in other words the top part of this file tells you to go into your Sources directory and find the file "ModSettings.php" and find the code

'layout' => 'ModifyLayoutSettings', And replace it with this:

'layout' => 'ModifyLayoutSettings',
      'ad_management' => 'ModifyAddManagement',

Thats one modification done by hand. Hope this was a bit clear anyway. (I hope)

NOTE: Do not include any of these: ]]> Thats not part of the edit.

but the ads don't seem to show up any where

Well, if you have another theme than default, then you see what Bigguy have written

[.Darkman]

i'll make it clear.

1. i downloaded the package
2. i installed it as all the test were successful
3. i went to features and options -> ads and checked all the boxes and gave my adsense code .
4. the ads don't showup anywhere.

you will have to manually install this if your using a custom theme.. if you log into your forum and choose the default theme, you will see it worked fine

[.Darkman]

[Bigguy]

So you will have to find the edits for the index.template.php and the boardindex.template.php and Display.template.php and MessageIndex.template.php

[Bigguy]

Some one has asked me to install Ad Managment 1.5 on there site. They already had it installed so I uninstalled it and reinstalled, for some reason I had to ad some of the coding myself. I replaced the modsettings.php and the index.template.php with clean ones and inserted all the code.

For somereson it all works perfect no errors anywhere, but when you put the ad cod in and put a check where you want them to show, nothing shows at all but no errors, any one have any idea`s.

Here is the error I am getting now:

8: Undefined variable: setArray
File: /home/tylerm/public_html/forum/Sources/ManageServer.php
Line: 486

This mod doesn`t touch that file does it
