    As it happens I have just added the ads to a html website. This assumes that you can run php and use .htaccess files.

    If you can you have come to the right place.

    My site supports php 4.3.6

    I have created www.pegandrail.com/ad_network.php file but I do not think I did it correctly

    I have also created www.penadrail.com/ad_network_ads.txt file I am sure the chom comand is not correct

    and i do not seem to be able to creat a .htaccess file

    my site is not php based or shtml based

    I am sure this should all be a fairly simple operation unfortunatly it is all above my head. I am sure someone who knows what they are doing could set this up in a matter of min. and all i would need is the code to add to the bottom of all my pages to get this up and running.

    Thanks

    Eddie,
    If your site is not PHP or SHTML I do not believe this will work for you. Sorry.

    DigitalPoint: "Currently the types of sites that are accepted are vBulletin 2.x and vBulletin 3.x forums, phpBB 2.x forums, Movable Type blogs, Blogger blogs or any site that supports PHP."

    The PHP stuff is working... you have the ad_network.php and ad_network_ads.txt stuff working fine. But you need to be able to integrate it with your site now.

    Hi Ed

    The first thing to do is to get your html pages processing php. If things go real easy you can do this by creating a .htaccess file. Just open notepad and type in:

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

    Save this as .htaccess (not .htaccess.txt just .htaccess) and upload it to the same folder as your index.html page is in. Check that your site still works if not delete the .htaccess file and let us know.

    Then add this to your index.html:

    <?php echo 'yes'; ?>

    If this works you will see yes in your index.html page and we are ready for step 2.

    If not we will need to try other variations of the .htaccess file to discover which method (if any) is supported by your host.

    My apologies must I must go now as MUFC are on the telly. I will check in again tomorrow. If the .htaccess file crashes your site just delete it.


    If there is a moderator here can you let me know if there is a way to create a file or post that all members can edit. If so I would be happy to create a "how to" guide for the various server and script configurations that I have come across and enable others to enhance it with their own.

    There isn't a way to make a post/thread publicly editable with vBulletin.

    Glad to hear I got the php stuff right.

    My host says
    Thank you for contacting us.

    We're sorry, the .htaccess file access you are mentioning is not
    currently available through Yahoo! Web Hosting and we do not have an
    estimated date as to when or if it will be available. However, we'll
    pass your comments on to our Development team for further
    consideration.

    Unless there is some other way to do this I am out of luck
    Thanks for your help
