I`m running the same software and am having the same problem looking for a place to put the ad ... I know it goes in one of the index files ...probably a template.index or something like that

EDIT: have you been here yet smf

 

[wwfn]

i have tried and tired to add it and everytime i add it i break it. i am at a lost on what to do now. Maybe i should just unstall the sucker and use that on my Fleet hosting account.

(*after looking at MicrotechXP's example) you can put the ads at themes/default/index.template.php all the way at the bottom after ?>. but it will make the font in the forum become bigger :laughing:

But i am very sure there are better ways. riginal:

Will using a PHP include instead of the java work?

Take a look at my SMF forums:

If you want the banner up the very top then I could help you.

You can find this part of code in all of the themes for SMF. It is in between the template_main_above and template_main_below. It should look like this:

	// The main content should go here.  A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
	echo '
	<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
		<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}

function template_main_below()
{
	global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;

Assuming you are on the advanced plan just ad the code where the bold part is:

	// The main content should go here.  A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
	echo '
	<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
		<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}
echo "<center>";
[B]echo "<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://x10hosting.com/advert/adx.js'></script>\n";
echo "<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>\n";
echo "<!--\n";
echo "if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';\n";
echo "phpAds_random = new String (Math.random());\n";
echo "phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);\n";
echo "document.write (\"<\" + \"script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='\");\n";
echo "document.write (\"http://x10hosting.com/advert/adjs.php?n=\" + phpAds_random);\n";
echo "document.write (\"&amp;what=zone:2&amp;target=_blank\");\n";
echo "document.write (\"&amp;exclude=\" + document.phpAds_used);\n";
echo "if (document.referrer)\n";
echo "document.write (\"&amp;referer=\" + escape(document.referrer));\n";
echo "document.write (\"'><\" + \"/script>\");\n";
echo "//-->\n";
echo "</script><noscript><a href='http://x10hosting.com/advert/adclick.php?n=a4f0eec1' target='_blank'><img src='http://x10hosting.com/advert/adview.php?what=zone:2&amp;n=a4f0eec1' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>\n";
echo "\n";
echo "\n";[/B]
echo "</center>";

function template_main_below()
{
	global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;

As you can see, I added the echo <center> lines just to center the banner.

Hope this helps.
