MyBB Community Forums

I am trying to add vertical ads on my forum, and I have googled and read/tried every possible method listed and posted, and I cannot get it to work.

I am using W3-responsive as a theme (I am mainly asking so I know where I need to go in any theme to add vertical ads)


As I said, I am trying to add vertical ads to my forum (left and right side of the forum). I have no idea what code to use, or where to place it.

Use Focus theme

or use Advanced Sidebox plugin

I'd rather use one Ad system (My Advertisements) than two. But thanks for the suggestion.

In global.css ( from your theme ). Find and replace.

Find:

#content {
	width: auto !important;
	padding: 40px 10px;
	overflow: hidden;
	background: #fcfcfc repeat scroll left top;
}

Replace with:

#content {
	width: auto !important;
	padding: 40px 10px;
	overflow: hidden;
	background: #fcfcfc  repeat scroll left top;
}

.sidebar {
	width: 15%;
	float: right;
}

.forum {
	width: 85%;
	float: left;
}

On index page templates -> index
Find:

{$forums}
</div>

Add below:

	<br>
	<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead">
<strong>Advertise Here</strong>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow1"><center>
{myadvertisements[zone_X]}
</center>	
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Where the X stands for the zone number from My Advertisements.

Hope this will help you

Not sure what I did wrong, but this is what happened:

http://prntscr.com/d56q8y (The pink boxes are were it should have been placed)

Home » Template Sets » Your theme Templates » Edit Template: index
After {$boardstats} add;

<td valign="top">
	
	
<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead">
<div class="float_left"><strong>ADS</strong></div
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" class="trow2">
<a class="ads" href="https://yourlink"><i style="font-size: 16px;" class="ads"></i></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
  

Still no avail.

Can you post a screen?

I hired someone to make me this but in plugin form where I can control which groups see it. (It is strictly compatible with the theme I am using.)

Thanks to everyone who tried to help!
