Newbie question

[Squash]

I am using a custom theme and would like to add the code into my theme header and footer but have no clue where to copy paste the code so my ads show up. Those are the only two places I really care about for now. Any help would be great

I get that i need to do it for them to work but where do I put them?  Everytime i go into those areas of my forum I feel like i'll screw it up.

Are you using SMF 2.0 or SMF 1.1.x

Also attached your index.template.php of the template your are using to do Header/Footer/left right ads.

[Squash]

I am using 1.1.11

I honestly have no idea how to get the file to attach it. I wish i had a clue I usually go thru the admin panel, then edit them that way. I know i am not much help

I can get to where it's broken into 7 sections..... and says what line of code each section starts on if that helps. I just need an idea of where to paste each one...header and footer code. I know I'm a pain in the butt. I'll definitely make notes so i know how to do it again.


By the way I use a template called snake if that helps

What I normally do is if you have ftp access is i login via ftp then download the file to your computer then you can attach it to your post.
Found in your forum's themes/themename folder

just sent you a pmmesage about my code..... GrRrRrr  No idea why it's not working, i just bought the mod last night.

Nevermind... like a dumb dumb i had it on gallery pro...helps to put it on ad pro...thanks for everything you rock

[SMFHacks]

Glad you got it working!

Glad you got it working!

Well not yet actually..... i have my permissions set on my server, so it won't let me overwrite the file. I'm headed out for the day, but later will change the settings in order to allow the file to be replaced and let you know how it goes.

[Squash]

It's a no go trying to upload it to the server that way for me..... the permission settings won't change I get a fileops error or something like that.

I can go into my admin panel and edit the file that way, it may just be something I won't add to my forum for now until i am more literate in where each code gets pasted into. thanks for the help and the mod, it would have been great if i could have got it to work easily. Just another reason why learning it would benefit me in the future.

FTP what type of file permissions are you trying to set it to? I would just enable read/execute i think that is 755 in linux.

Im running into the same issue. I am using a custom template as well.


It would be nice if there was an installation code update find/replace file that we could see. I have NO idea where to put my code. I tried following where you pasted your code, but for the life of me I cannot figure it out either. I thought this was going to be easier to do than this. I am very confused and upset at the moment.

Where do you paste the code for all of the locations? HELP! lol

Is there a "before this" or a "between this" file to refer to?
