XF 1.5 Add a custom box to xenforo

[clawbennett]

Hello all,

I am using a pixelexit theme and wanted to know if there was a global way to add a boxes throughout the forum. Essentially, I would like to add a sidebox and a header box that is global throughout the forum for internal advertising. I have a couple of banners that I would like to use that would link to some high end sponsor sites.

Can someone tell me what templates to edit to make this happen? I am new to XF so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You can use the default ad_* templates for that.

Great. That's what I suspected, but I guess I need to know if there is a tutorial on how to add a custom ad. Everything I see is related to google adsense advertisements.

Is there a simple code to put in that will allow me to place an ad of my own? Thanks

If your custom ads are images, you would just use regular HTML.

You may need to add styling/CSS/additional HTML to get the layout/format you want.
