XF 2.0 Show Sidebar Advertising without Sidebar Widget

[Skylined]

I've added an advertisment to Container sidebar but the ad doesn't show until I enable a Sidebar Widget.

Is it possible to have a sidebar advertisment without the need to have a sidebar widget?

I am very new to Xenforo, but on a test forum in the adminCP I found there is an "advertisements" setting in the Setups section. Just a thought.

Edit add: I just tried it on my test forum using html and it looks like it will serve my purposes.

Yeap, the HTML widget works, but I don't see the point of using that when Advertisment should be in charge of that.

Here is an example.


If I have the newthreads (Temas nuevos) Widget enabled, the Container sidebar: Above advertisment appears.





When I disable the newthreads (Temas nuevos) Widget, the Container sidebar: Above advertisment disappears.

You could create a widget position yourself and add your ad onto that position.

That would be a workaround, but would not fix the problem that is showing ads without the need of any widget.

Well the position is called above sidebar. If there's no sidebar, there's no above. So there's actually no problem.

Actually Container sidebar: Above

And that's the problem, it should be displayed.

Appears above the (right) sidebar on every page, if any content is rendered there.

Nope, working as intended. You could create a suggestion for a new widget position, though.

I'll let the XenForo staff tell me if that's intended or something that should be fixed.
