Hello, I started a PHP forum. I will be paying to remove the forced ads, but only once I can figure out how to encode it so I can ad a favicon, as well as otehr customer html incorporating advertising from my sponsors. Does anyone know I can ad html to my PHP forum? Thank you, any help is much appreciated. Using http://lemontide.freeforums.org
I can not find the original ads. I recently created & purchased a online forum for a hefty price. I was confident I could keep forum traffic up & earn back my investment in ad commission. With the upgrade now I can run it without forced ads on my own server as well as incorporate my own ads. I have been trying so hard to do so. However i am used to HTML & cant get this to work. I consulted the people I purchased the forum from & they said this: "To add those you would need to access the forum files (either through file manager or through FTP). Then browse to public_html/templates. Then edit each templates 'overall_footer.tpl' and edit the code in using HTML." The page I am editing is a PHP Forum. & I am trying to insert a HTML script from Chitika a program like adsense that turns relevants words on the page into paid links. So I located the file stated in the message. The "overall_footer.tpl". I then inserted the HTML script & had no luck when reloading the page. The script did not take effect. I tried moving it around several times. I am seeking help. Where do I insert my HTML!? The "overall_footer.tpl" is as follows: PHP Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>{SITENAME} :: {PAGE_TITLE}</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> </head> <body> <table width="860" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td height="35" background="softmetal/bgsoftmetal.jpg"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td background="templates/softmetal/images/bgsoftmetal.jpg"><table width="94%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <div align="center"><span class="copyright"><br />{ADMIN_LINK}<br /> <!-- We request you retain the full copyright notice below including the link to www.phpbb.com.
