2 Phpbb3 questions

I have 2 questions about phpbb3.

First, how can I add an adsense ad to the bottom of the forum.

Second, im just taking a guess saying that it is not allowed to put an adsense ad in a signature if I do allow html on the forum (just wondering)

thanks,

Dillmando

 

1. Its a code edit. I dont know phpBB very well, so I dont know where.
2. phpBB (I think) doesnt allow HTML access.

 

Just put your adsense code into your footer template.

html is not a good idea, leaving yourself open to problems

 

why not?
You can allow certain tags like img or whatever people can not use for bad purposes

 

edit overall_footer.html in your style/{template_name}/template

 

To add adsense in footer, edit overall_footer.html, and for the signature part, yes HTML is not allowed, however you can make a BBCode when used, it'll display adsense, you have the option to make it a private BBCode and not to be shown in posting body.

Go to ACP => Posting => BBCodes => Add new.

Create a unique BBCode

And in the HTML replacement, just put the google adsense code you want, now you'll be able to add adsense into posts, signatures, forum rules buy using a bbcode.

 

Well, I did mine by editing the theme and using breadcrumbs. That way it is under every single thread at the bottom, and also one at the top - however I split them up so that I could have just a thin linkbox at the top and the ads at the bottom.

 

well :

Ill show you the way I like to do so taht the • stuff dont have to be updated all the time I change ads or whatever :

go to :

youstyle / templates/

create a ad_footer.html file

than open overall_footer.html

find the following :

Code (markup):

add before :

<!--INCLUDE ad_footer.html-->

then save, refresh you template at you admin cp, purge the cache and place you ads code into the ad_footer.html file that you created.

should be all fine.

bye

 

Great post 1+ rep... This is probably one of the best ways I've seen this done to date.. Great work!

 

thx mate, glad to help.

just ad the code to your new file ad_footer.html before refreshing your template and purging the cache to make sure it works. otherwise it wont show.

if anyone need help putting them on the top, before the forums I can show as well.
