I would like to create a simple text ad that is placed inside the first post.

There is already a location for this, but I need help with the ad code itself.

I would like to automatically display the topic title in the ad code and make a link out of it.

So for example:

If the topic title is, "Maytag washer not doing nothing" I would like to have my ad code create a link using that title.

Code:

<a href="http://AffiliatePartsSite.com">Maytag washer not doing nothing</a>

The above is just a example as i'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do with it yet, but what to know if something like that can even be coded to work before I get to carried away with idea's for it.

Thanks,

You would do custom code and something like this

Code:

global $context;
echo '<a href="http://AffiliatePartsSite.com">' . $context['page_title'] . '</a>';

Ok, I added your code into the custom ad code text box and it displays this inside the first post.

global $context; echo '' . $context['page_title'] . '';

with '' . $context['page_title'] . '' bing a clickable link.

I tired adding <?php tags but still could not get it to display correctly.

I'm such a tard.

I just seen the check box for Is PHP Code?

I checked the box and it works great now!

Thanks,

Glad you got it working.

One more question for my wondering mind.

I see how to add addition text before the page title link, but is it possible to add text before or after the page title link that will become part of the link?

Does that make sense?

[SMFHacks]

Yeah example
echo '<a href="http://AffiliatePartsSite.com">moretexthere ' . $context['page_title'] . ' and more text</a>';

I was close, seems so simple now.

Thanks!
