Ad Management mod

[new200]

I'm currently running SMF 1.1 RC2. Just downloaded ad_mod_rc2_v2.zip

I tried to install the mod using pakage installer. Everything passed, accept Display.template.php FAILED.  Any help on this? Thanks lot....

Install the mod and then download you Display.template.php file and add the edits manually. They are typed out here:

If your using any theme but the default you will have to add the edits to the template files anyway.

well,today what i`ve notice is that the ads which i`m showing through ad manager are not showing in Firefox..is this the only problem with me or i need to do something for it..!

I'm not seeing them in FireFox either.
Not seeing them in Camino either.

Check whether you enabled them in "Permissions" for all membergroups (you have to go through permissions of each membergroup).

[Bigguy]

Do you have scripts blocked in FF. This could also be a reason your not seeing them.

is there a way to ad Ads on the login page also? what file should be edited?

and also maybe add this on the feature list?

thanks a lot!

[Bigguy]

There isn't a way to do that with this mod but I would imagine editing the right file would give you the ads there.

[Bandai]

how about adding that in the future version?

and yeah do you know what file to edit the login page? I can't seem to find it..

[Bigguy]

Well this is JUST a guest but I would think it could be the login.template.php file in the themes folder under the theme you are using. Remember that's just a GUESS, and back it up before playing with it.

[Bandai]

the theme i'm using doesn't have a login.template.php i already checked index.template.php and index.php it doesn't have any forms for login either...

sorry for being a noob at this.. first time to setup a board.

[Bigguy]

Then use the login.template.php file that's in the default theme folder. If your theme doesn't have one then the theme you are using uses the file from the default theme.

[Bandai]

really? i didn't know that...

thanks a lot for pointing me to the right direction! you're a great help!

God Bless!

I'm off to work on my board now.

[Bigguy]

No problem, glad I could help out. Hope your board turns out great.

Install the mod and then do the edits for the file it failed at. All the edits are here:

1. I am using the newly upgraded rc3 with the new rc3 ad mod ( not rc2)
( all i see on the link is rc2 for any current edit versions)  Can i still use the same edits?

2. When I installed rc3 ad mod ( with the error message), it messed up my forum. Shouldn't I edit the index.template.php before I install it?


3. So basiclly you are saying to install the mod ( even if it messes with the forum) then go back and edit the index.template.php?

Install the mod and then do the edits for the file it failed at. All the edits are here:

[Bigguy]

It should not have messed up anything and i'm sorry if it did. You should have been able to install the mod and then go and do the edits and put them in place and it should be all good. The edits for the 2 different ad mods shouldn't be that different. I'll go write them up now on smfads.com. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.The edits are the same in both versions.

[mynix]

Oh so install it for the  default then edit my  custom theme .php files?

Or modify the rc3 ad mod  | however leaving the index.template.php path the default theme path), then modifying it after the install?

[Bigguy]

Yes. Any files that you cannot find in your custom template have already been edited in the default theme.

[mynix]

This message is for all those with a paid / custom theme that has been made specifically for your own use.  If someone made your theme for you, you should ask them to help upgrade to the latest version (rc3).

The following files should be upgraded to rc3, before you update with rc3 ad mod. This is to make sure all modifications in (especially in index.template.php) are not lost.

• BoardIndex.template.php
• Display.template.php
• Index.template.php
• Settings.template.php
• MessageIndex.template.php
• Themes.template.php

If you don't have that luxury of having the person that developed your theme. You can try your hand at editing the file yourself if the file is not heavily modified.
