    This does work as I have done it on my forum at www.wired.profusehost.net/forum . I would suggest using a horizontal ad if you are going to place an ad or banner here. If using google adsense go for the leader board which is 728*90 as it will fit the best.

    Is your forum also a phpBB forum or does it use other software???

    If it is phpBB software have a look at this link http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewt...p?f=1&t=503964 .

    Good luck.

    There are other places you can place them too such as viewforum_body.tpl just before <!-- END topicrow -->

    also indexbody.tpl just before <!-- END switch_user_logged_in -->
    there are a couple more that I have put in that seem to generate random ads in the same place depending when you visit them so you dont always get an ad when you go to the same page it kind of work every 2nd or 3rd visit but i have them in two or three more *_body.tpl files in various places including the index page between the main forum titles and the 'whose online# section I will post more when I write them all down
    these are also in the same directory as viewtopic_body

    Thumbs up You Lucky lucky people!! Perfect forum ads in 10 easy steps

    NO more do you need ads interupting your forum, or findding three rows of ads when there should be one!!

    After many tried I have found the best place to place your ad code (the 728 x 90 NOT the 160 x 600)

    1. open up you forum template folder and look for TWO files:

    one called:

    overall_header.tpl

    and the other

    overall_footer.tpl

    2. Create a BACKUP copy of these in case anything goes wrong!!

    3. Open up the first overall header with your editor and underneath this line:

    <body bgcolor="{T_BODY_BGCOLOR}" text="{T_BODY_TEXT}" link="{T_BODY_LINK}" vlink="{T_BODY_VLINK}">
    4. Place the script from a 728 x 90 ad code script (your choice of back ground)

    a white background would be:

    5.
    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://ads2.psychz.net/adx.js'></script>
    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
    <!--
    if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
    phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);

    document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
    document.write ("http://ads2.psychz.net/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
    document.write ("&amp;what=zone:8");
    document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
    if (document.referrer)
    document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
    document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
    //-->
    </script><noscript><a href='http://ads2.psychz.net/adclick.php?n=a477094b' target='_blank'><img src='http://ads2.psychz.net/adview.php?what=zone:8&amp;n=a477094b' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>

    6. Upload that to your server and copy over the original, then to check to see if its working just open up your forum home page and run through a couple of posts, you should see the new ads AT THE TOP of ALL pages absolutly visible without interupting the flow of your site.

    Secondly the footer:

    7. Open up overall_footer.tpl and look for this line:

    Powered by <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/" target="_phpbb" class="copyright">phpBB</a> &copy; 2001, 2005 phpBB Group<br />{TRANSLATION_INFO}</span></div>
    8. UNDERNEATH this line cut and paste this script:

    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://ads2.psychz.net/adx.js'></script>
    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
    <!--
    if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
    phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);

    document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
    document.write ("http://ads2.psychz.net/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
    document.write ("&amp;what=zone:24");
    document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
    if (document.referrer)
    document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
    document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
    //-->
    </script><noscript><a href='http://ads2.psychz.net/adclick.php?n=ac3440ba' target='_blank'><img src='http://ads2.psychz.net/adview.php?what=zone:24&amp;n=ac3440ba' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>
    9. Now upload to your server and copy over the original, then refresh the pages you opened earlier and scroll to the bottom of any page that you open and you will find the 'ads by google footer' underneath the 'powered by phb' message.

    10. Sit back and glow in the satisfaction of a job well done!( Iknow i said 10 but sit back you deserve it!)

    Guys,

    need some help here.. I've tried all the possible ways to have the ads code being displayed in PHPBB3, but none of them work !

    The code john placed isn't working and neither can I find the overall_header.tpl file. It's just not there !

    Any help here, since I need to activate ads on my forum as I don't want to risk it being suspended

    That is great to hear.

    Was good you figured it out for yourself.

    Good luck with learning out how to use the rest of phpBB3.

    It is great software and best of all it is free!
