Well I attempted to set up my forum today... over at www.landroversonly.com/forums and I am getting this message when I try to validate: So what does this mean? What is "Somewhere appropriate"??? Ads are not showing up and I can't figure out why.... aack.... ok, upon further review it says to add just "$ad_network" to the 3 sections above, is there some code missing????
yes I did.... and nada.. no ads are showing.. ack... The directions for installation are not clear.. can you please asnwer my questions from the first post? Thank you so much!
I'll tell you where I placed $ad_network in the templates. You can place them anywhere almost, but these worked fine for me. The only thing that really matters is not to place them inside a <script> tag. footer: Right above "<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->", with a <br /> added in between, in the lower half of the template Show Thread Templates >> SHOWTHREAD_SHOWPOST: Just above </body> at the bottom of the template Printable Thread Templates >> printthread: Right above "$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]" near the bottom of the template If $ad_network isn't returning anything, then the plug-in isn't enabled.
aaaghh... I've installed and upgraded several vBulletin packages, phpAdsnew, CMP, etc.. but this thing is really confusing.. the installation instructions are just lacking... I have done all that has been suggested. However the poor installation instructions leave me wondering if I have done it right...
Yes, I have customized many of my templates already... ok... let me explain what I have done based on what I read from the instructions... 1. I created a file called ad_network_147.php in WordPad and uploaded it under my "forums" directory on my server. 2. I made a file called ad_network_ads_147.txt in the same directory 3. I added the "$ad_network" in the places you described 4. I downloaded the product and then used the "manage products-->Add/Import Product" did I miss something.. I did not do anything to the product after download, I just used the abover Add/Import feature.. This is very frustrating... the instructions are very vague
You didn't say whether you changed the permissions for ad_network_ads_147.txt, though I guess you must have, else you'd be getting an error message. The only think I can think of is to make sure the contents of the plug-in .xml file are referencing the right filename; maybe the wrong suffix got downloaded somehow. i.e., make sure it says: <![CDATA[include ('ad_network_147.php'); Rather than some other number than _147.
aghhhhh... the file I downloaded says 145... NOT 147.. let me change it and see what happens..... this is weird... ok.. so I looked at the Setup files again.. now the DP Coop page is giving out all code with 148.. sooooo.. I deleted all the files from my server and uploaded all the new ones with the 149 code.. still nothing.. definitely going to bed now.. it's midnight and I am too tired and frustrated.. will try again tomorrow.. any other ideas on what might be wrong will be appreciated... thanks for all the help!
