MyBB Community Forums

Hey,
I'm trying to use TNX ads with my MyBB forum software. For your forum or website to be indexed, they give you a PHP code. From what I understand, MyBB doesn't allow you to use PHP in template changes (?).
How can I make this work? I've tried using Ad plugins, but with no sucess -- Most of them seem to be built only for images.

If you want to see the code that TNX provides, just head on over to TNX.net - signing up takes less then 30 seconds, you don't have to enter paypal, address or anything such as. I'd post my code, but I'm not sure if I should

Anyway, thanks for any help.

You can use my Link Vault plugin for a good example of how you can implement this....it's over at mybb central.

Could I just replace the Link Vault links and such with TNX's? Or would I have to modify your plugin?

(I can't code btw :/)

That won't work becuase TNX is a code not a link.

This should work:

Download the LinkVault.php plugin and set it aside.

Create a new file in the plugins folder called tnx_ads.php

Now paste all the code tnx give you into the tnx_ads.php file.

Save and close tnx_ads.php

Open up linkvault.php (the plugin you downloaded)

Find:

include ('lv5cB29PlRGDl7d1Sn.php');  

Replace it with:

include ('tnx_ads.php');

Save, close, and upload the linkvault.php file to the plugins directory. Activate the plugin.

To ensure it works

To see if the plugin works, open up tnx_ads.php and add these lines after the '<?php' opening tag of php.

echo '<strong>The TNX ads are accessible</strong>';

Save and close tnx_ads.php and visit your forums and look for: The TNX ads are accessible. If you see it, this indicates that it works, you may now remove these lines from the tnx_ads.php file:

echo '<strong>The TNX ads are accessible</strong>';

Let me know if you have any troubles.

EDIT: just looked at it further, it isn't going to work without a few modifications. I'll work on it and let you know.

Hm ok thanks for working on it rcpalace
