I'm started using SMF to see how it works. Can anyone tell how to put a Header Banner into the forum ? .
depends on the theme your using. go into Admin> Current Theme> on the right there should be an option to display your logo, there is a place to type in the url to it. what theme you using?
same thing, that option is there, just put the url in there for your banner. or are you wanting something for advertising?
like i said in my first 2 posts, the banner option is in the admin panel. the ad mod needs to be installed through the package manager and your theme may need editing cause the mod only applies itself to the core theme (default).
If you're using the Babylon theme you will probably have to do a manual installation like sawz said. You can use one of these two links to help you through that. It shouldn't be too hard - if I can do it, anyone can! http://www.smfhacks.com/packageparser/package.php http://modparser.dev.dansoftaustralia.net/index.php Good luck! PS: I'm also using SMF for my forum.
You can manually add banner to the site by editing index.template.php from the current theme's folder.... Add any banner code just after the <body> tag It should work!!!!
Dont feel bad, this is the MOST common problem people have with SMF. It needs to be a certain size or it wont even show up, so the best way is to directly place it in the templates. SMF has the worst templates...
I tried the whole day to get the f... Ad-mod in the Babylon theme to work and did not manage. Could someone please put the modified files into a zip File and put it somewhere to download? Would be greatly appreciated.
OK. I changed everything several times over and now it runs without errors but also without showing google ads. I first put a text there and the text was shown. But google scipt does not seem to work. * Any ideas? This modification I was not able to apply: Find: In file $themedir/BoardIndex.template.php ------------------------------------ echo ' </div>'; Add after: //Display ads Between cats if (function_exists("show_category")) { $ads = show_category($category['id']); if(!empty($ads)) if($ads['type']==0) echo $ads['content']; else eval($ads['content']); unset($ads); } ------------------------------------ * Another question for another SMF, where the mod script does not run at all. How can I apply the SQL changes manually? Best, Michael
near as i can tell, find this in Boardindex.template.php echo ' </td> </tr> </table></div>'; Code (markup): after place this: //Display ads Between cats if (function_exists("show_category")) { $ads = show_category($category['id']); if(!empty($ads)) if($ads['type']==0) echo $ads['content']; else eval($ads['content']); unset($ads); } Code (markup): this is what i would try, the babylon themes a little tricky. make sure you backup your files in case i'm wrong. why would you have to manually add to the database? what mod are you trying to install?
Thanx, worked for one board (english) Does not work for non-English boards. Any suggestions/words of wisdom?
Go to Admin > Configuration > Current Theme > Themes and Settings There will be a box saying "Logo Image URL". You just type in your URL of your banner there.
