Banner placement question?

2.1RC4
3.0.3a

Is there an option or a way to put a banner ad such as google adsense in the "site slogan" area? I've managed to get it to work by pasting the adsense code into the site slogan slot in admin/current theme but there no permissions control that way.

You can. Make a new ad location call it site slogan.
After it is added. You can either grab the PHP code for fast loading or the iframe code and enter it the template area.

Ok so I created a new banner location and went to put in the code but noticed this error in admin:

Posted update to fix this.

Ok thanks!

Next question lol...

How do I put this banner code:

Code: [Select]

// Begin Ad Seller Pro Location - Top Slogan Area

global $sourcedir;
include_once $sourcedir . "/adseller2.php";

$adSellerAdData =  ShowAdLocation(1000);

// Check if any ads where found
if ($adSellerAdData != false)
{
 // Dispaly the advertising code
 echo $adSellerAdData;
}

// End Ad Seller Pro Location - Top Slogan Area
Into the site slogan area?

Code: [Select]

<div id="header">
 <h1 class="forumtitle">
 <a id="top" href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name_html_safe'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name_html_safe'] . '">', '</a>
 </h1>';

 echo '
 ', empty($settings['site_slogan']) ? '<img id="smflogo" src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/smflogo.svg" alt="Simple Machines Forum" title="Simple Machines Forum">' : '<div id="siteslogan">' . $settings['site_slogan'] . '</div>', '';

 echo '
 </div>

I tried copying the index.template.php at https://www.smfhacks.com/index.php/topic,10086.0.html but that is for 2.0 and I'm using 2.1RC4. Thanks!


Here is my index.template.php... (and it's a little more customized than default too, have the custom top menu mod installed)

Try this attached file

Hey thats looking good!

The ad is where I want it but the slogan image is still there to the left. How do I get rid that?

[Shades]

So I removed:

Code: [Select]

', empty($settings['site_slogan']) ? '<img id="smflogo" src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/smflogo.svg" alt="Simple Machines Forum" title="Simple Machines Forum">' : '<div id="siteslogan">' . $settings['site_slogan'] . '</div>', '
Would that be the correct way?

So now it looks like:

Code: [Select]

<h1 class="forumtitle">
<a id="top" href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name_html_safe'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name_html_safe'] . '">', '</a>
</h1>';

echo '
';

// Begin Ad Seller Pro Location - Top Slogan Area

global $sourcedir;
include_once $sourcedir . "/adseller2.php";

$adSellerAdData =  ShowAdLocation(1000);

// Check if any ads where found
if ($adSellerAdData != false)
{
 // Dispaly the advertising code
 echo $adSellerAdData;
}

// End Ad Seller Pro Location - Top Slogan Area


[Shades]

So I removed:

Code: [Select]

', empty($settings['site_slogan']) ? '<img id="smflogo" src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/smflogo.svg" alt="Simple Machines Forum" title="Simple Machines Forum">' : '<div id="siteslogan">' . $settings['site_slogan'] . '</div>', '
Would that be the correct way?

So now it looks like:

Code: [Select]

<h1 class="forumtitle">
 <a id="top" href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name_html_safe'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name_html_safe'] . '">', '</a>
 </h1>';

 echo '
';

 // Begin Ad Seller Pro Location - Top Slogan Area

global $sourcedir;
include_once $sourcedir . "/adseller2.php";

$adSellerAdData =  ShowAdLocation(1000);

// Check if any ads where found
if ($adSellerAdData != false)
{
 // Dispaly the advertising code
 echo $adSellerAdData;
}

// End Ad Seller Pro Location - Top Slogan Area


No that don't work cause if I do that the area is blank when the ad is not set for that area! Hmm...

[SMFHacks]

Get rid of

Code: [Select]

<h1 class="forumtitle">
 <a id="top" href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name_html_safe'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name_html_safe'] . '">', '</a>
 </h1>

I'm trying to figure this out again lol! I've got the banners showing where I want but I can't get the site slogan to go underneath where I want it. I don't know php very well at all. I gave up on it last time but I really need to solve this if you can help. I'm uploading a couple images to show what I'm trying to do.

Hoping you could help me!

Here is the code as I have it now:

Code: [Select]

echo '
</div><!-- .inner_wrap -->
</div><!-- #top_section -->';

echo '
<div id="header">
<h1 class="forumtitle">
<a id="top" href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name_html_safe'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name_html_safe'] . '">', '</a>
</h1>';

// Begin Ad Seller Pro Location - Top Slogan Area

global $sourcedir;
include_once $sourcedir . "/adseller2.php";

$adSellerAdData =  ShowAdLocation(1000);

// Check if any ads where found
if ($adSellerAdData != false)
{
 // Dispaly the advertising code
 echo $adSellerAdData;
}

// End Ad Seller Pro Location - Top Slogan Area

echo '
', empty($settings['site_slogan']) ? '<img id="smflogo" src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/smflogo.svg" alt="Simple Machines Forum" title="Simple Machines Forum">' : '<div id="siteslogan">' . $settings['site_slogan'] . '</div>', '';

echo '
</div>';

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template, followed by the navigation tree.
// Load mobile menu here

Can you attach your index.template.php of your theme if you still need help with it.

[Shades]

Yes here it is!

[SMFHacks]

I put a div tag around it. See if this helps
