Ads not showing in footer

Well, I've followed the instructions to the best of my ability, yet the ads do not show in the footer at www.aacircle.com.au/forums.

My footer template includes the code exactly as:

<?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network_409.php');
echo $ad_network;
?>

I have uploaded both files and set the .txt file to 666. Have also included the required .htaccess line. But nothing...

 

[edit]

Create a file named ad_network_409.php in the main directory of your forum
so it would go under /public_html/(forum folder name)/

Create an empty file named ad_network_ads_409.txt in the same directory.
same as before >> /public_html/(forum folder name)/

open /public_html/(forum folder name)/includes/page_tail.php
find

$template->pparse('overall_footer');

Code (markup):

before add

include ($phpbb_root_path . 'ad_network_409.php');
$template->assign_vars(array('AD_NETWORK' => $ad_network));

Code (markup):

save and close

open /public_html/(forum folder name)/......whatever folder your templete files are in and open overall_footer.tpl
add wherever you want it to be displayed {AD_NETWORK}
save and close
you now should have the ad(s) in your footer

Once it's setup on your forum, request a validation of your site to get your ads into the rotation.

{AD_NETWORK} isn't mentioned anywhere in the setup instructions. Anyway, I have placed {AD_NETWORK} in the footer template right below echo $ad_network; but still nothing.

 

You can only have 3 ads on a page - which you have. If you delete one of them, the footer one will work.

 

Have removed 1 adsense ad. Now there are only 2. But the footer co-op ads still don't show. Is it perhaps because I have set it to show 5 text links in the co-op area?

shadav, is YOUR lengthy description necessary? Just wondering why others aren't doing it this way by editing their page_tail.php file. Obviously the less changes I need to make the better. Just changing the footer template would be best.

 

Have also tried the instructions exactly as per outlined at Anime Online and again without success. Am truly stumbled... didn't think I was really that bad at following instructions.

The ads do show instantly don't they? Our account has already been validated.

 

Finally got it working. Aparently the setup instructions have now changed and requires a plugin.

 

i'm not sure what site that was but the instructions (that i posted) can be find on the digitalpoint.com site under webmaster tools >> co-op ad network

so I would say yes it's necessary lol...but i could be wrong

 

Thanks everyone for your help. Found out the problem. I was trying to setup the ads with the wrong setup information. If you go into your co-op account setup, you can nominate what type of site you have, eg: vbuletin, blog etc. Setup instructions do change depending on the selection you make here.

Cheers and thanks again.

 

ah wasn't aware of that fact...glad that it's up and running good luck
