This is great as I am starting a forum using smf.

 

I've just started an SMF forum too and will be including this, thanks

 

I install this but don't see the settings anywhere for it?

I uploaded it and applied the mod, what else do I need to do?

 

thanks was looking for this

 

hi codeber, i've the same problem like chris369, nothing change in my admin config panel. what should i do pal?

 

Will there be a TOS Violation with this mod

 

There are not tos violation. The major drawback is that it install only in the default theme. or else, i think we can install it manually in other themes

 

not really a major drawback, just do a little editing and any mod will work on any theme.

 

How would we go about doing that editing?

 

each mod package contains the files to make that particular mod work. one of those files is an install.xml file or maybe its called install.mod
you'll find them named each way.

look a this file, its almost self explanatory. and the only files that need editing are the ones in your custom theme folder.

most likely index.template.php boardindex.template etc.
some themes have up to 5 files that may need editing, some only 1.

 

How the heck do you read xml... geez just when you think you got it all figured out

 

notepad, any text editor

 

i found a way using a parser, all the coding is too confusing, but the parser was perfect

 

he wants to view it, this particular xml file has mod install instructions. if you can read it, it tells you whats being changed.

the ad management mod for instance, it only installs on the default theme, so to use with other themes, you have to edit several files.

this is part of the xml, it says what code to add where:

<operation>
        <search position="before"><![CDATA[                            </td>]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[';
                            //Welcome Ads
                            if (function_exists("show_welcomeAds"))
                            {
                                $ads = show_welcomeAds();
                                if(!empty($ads))
                                {
                                    echo '<td class="windowbg2">';
                                    if($ads['type']==0)
                                        echo $ads['content'];
                                    else
                                        eval($ads['content']);
                                    echo '</td>';
                                }
                                unset($ads);
                            }
                        echo ']]>
</add>
</operation>

Code (markup):

and thats what they wanted to see.

use notepad, any text editor.

 

Cheers looks like something i could use.

 

another way of making it work is using ur FTP
right click on the folder that contains the forum - go to properties / CHMOD
and change the permission no to 777 or 755
and it should work
