[Deleted member 745]

Hi,

Can Ad Templates do this, like this guy as added adsense to his header and footer : http://www.8wayrun.com/forum/

If it cant be done with Ad Templates, any idea how it can be done?

Thankyou

Just add the AdSense code to the ad template.

The top banner would be this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> ad_above_top_breadcrumb

Use this code to center it:

<div style="text-align: center;">
	BANNER CODE HERE
</div>

The bottom banner would be this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> ad_below_content

I'm looking for a conditional which is not (yet) in Brogan's FAQ.

I would like to show ads to everyone except premium members and my "regular" members with more then ?100 posts. My thinking is if a member contributes directly with $$ or indirectly with content, they are adding value to the community.

How can I do a conditional If member.postcount <100 show ad?

You could always set it so users get out of a certain group once they hit 100+ posts, then make it so the conditional works for the group under 100 posts.

Use this:

<xen:if is="{$visitor.message_count} < 100">

</xen:if>

Can you use similar conditionals on any of the database fields?

Cheers,

In general, yes. message_count comes from xf_user.message_count in the database.

Thanks.

There's a lot to learn, but there's also a certain simplicity to it as well. I think I'm going to enjoy playing with XF.

I have noticed the new ad_ templates which were added in 1.0.0. I have used each of them today. Many of them worked perfectly. Some had CSS issues but otherwise work. There are 4 ads that I cannot locate anywhere. I switched to Default template and tried, searched every part of the site and still could not locate these ads. Can anyone tell me if the below 4 templates are working?

ad_forum_view_above_node_list
ad_member_view_above_messages
ad_member_view_below_avatar
ad_member_view_sidebar_bottom

> ad_forum_view_above_node_list

That shows inside of a forum, but only when that forum contains subforums.

> ad_member_view_above_messages

On the profile page, in the Profile Posts tab.

> ad_member_view_below_avatar

Also on the profile page, underneath the big avatar on the top left of the profile.

> ad_member_view_sidebar_bottom

Also on the profile page, at the bottom of the sidebar on the left of the profile.

I went on to my profile page by choosing "Your Profile Page" from the moderation bar. I placed ads in each of the ad_member_view templates. The ads are 250x250 boxes which worked perfectly on the sidebar in the other templates. I refreshed numerous times and still cannot see the ads.

I checked the member_view template and I can see the xen include statements within the template. I can also see the 3 tabs brought up when I open the member_view. I have confirmed that the templates are from the style I am viewing. I have duplicated this process for the Default template. For some reason the process simply isn't working for the profile page. I am on my admin account.

Ok, scratch the above. It works when I view from a "regular" account but not from the admin account. I do not see any conditionals related to admin so I am not sure why the ads would not appear for my admin acct? Both pc's are using FF browsers v3.6

 

[Jake Bunce]

I don't have that problem.

Maybe you are viewing a different style with your admin account?

I can also see all ads as an admin. using chrome and flexile orange.

 

[Ryan Kent]

my fault....

AdBlock plus. For some reason it didn't block the other ads but blocked the ones on this page. I love that add-on but what a headache it gave me today!

... it's always the little things that cause us the problems.

I'm really liking the XF templates ...

when I go to the template named "ad_below_content", then I see the following default code in this template:

<xen:hook name="ad_below_content" />

How do I put my banner-code into this template?

underneath the default code or in between the default code ? Or do I need to delete this hook-code in that template?
Not sure how to do this??

Just put it underneath. Make a new line.
