Ad Network on Invision Forums

Hi,

I asked this aaaaages ago and nobody had a stable way of doing it at the time but wondered if anybody has since found a way of doing it.

I'm trying to get the ads on an invision forum.

Anybody been successful?

 

since found an old thread i've replied to lol - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=3425&page=3&pp=10

sorry guys

 

I put it in my FAQ as well... It turned out to be rather easy...

 

dood i cant find it in your FAQ

any chance?

But it's for 1.X not 2.0 sorry.

 

grrrr, does anybody keep their forums up to date man!!!

 

Is 2.0 now entirely with templates? Is there no .php file included at all like functions.php ?

If you can find me a file with php that bypasses templated output I can put it in. But so can you probably.

 

My functions.php file is HERE, feel free to take a looksee to see what you think is possible but i've tried similar things to the talk-throughs i've found like yours on your FAQ etc etc and all have failed BIG time.

 

Try this include mod. You can add whatever in your forum anywhere.

That code looks very similar to the 1.2 functions.php . Are you sure my $copyright .= way of hacking doesn't work?

 

Already got it, i'm checking on the IZE forums now to see if it'll work though, it's a pretty big forum and i dont want problems, i aint got a test server setup due to costs.

Almost eveyrting i search for can't be found and I am not experienced enough with php hacks to try and test.

This forum has 25k pages indexed in G and it's valuable to me BIG TIME!

 

Yep, it works. I have used in my forum. Also its useful if you want to run anyother php code in additon to what normal IPB supports.

If i get you access, can you perform the installation for me and i'll provide a link from a site of mine to yours?

 

ok.... !

The first bloody thing I can't find lmao

////PART 1
///FILE : sources/functions.php

//FIND

<?php and the copyright


not there! ahhhh

oooooor, is "and the copyright" an abbreviation for the lots of jargon at the top! lmao

 

You messed up the quotation in post 11... I didn't say that.

Can't really help you much more, sorry.

 

I think its the copyright stuff that follows the code "<php"

Yes, I can help you. Please send me the files to "hostmatrix@gmail.com"

I will update and send you back. Btw, keep your original files with you, incase of problems we can put that back.

Edit: send me

sources/functions.php
sources/classes/class_display.php

Sent, have you got MSN? g00gl3r[at]g00gl3r[dot]com is mine

 

The files were perfecly modified by your self in first place. i didn't had any work to do.

And got the problem why it didnt worked.

You might have included them direcly like <% INCLUDE "ad_network.php" %>

This wont work coz, you need another set of code to be placed in php pages.

<?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") .
':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network.php');
echo $ad_network;
?>

Hence create a new file say "coop_ads.php" and paste the above code in it.

Then use <% INCLUDE "coop_ads.php" %>

Will work perfectly.

Hope that helps.

 

appear to have a small problem, replied to email

edit: it's showing this at teh bottom of the forum

IPB WARNING [2] do_output(coop_ads.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory (Line: 262 of /sources/classes/class_display.php)
IPB WARNING [2] do_output(coop_ads.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory (Line: 262 of /sources/classes/class_display.php)
IPB WARNING [2] do_output(): Failed opening 'coop_ads.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') (Line: 262 of /sources/classes/class_display.php)

Code (markup):

looks to me like php/includes:/usr/share/php' should be php/includes/usr/share/php'

but can't find where to edit it

 

I think you have to place this file in forums root folder.

Also the adnetwork files.
