Banners

Well after much searching and reading on the forum I still am not able to get my banners to do what they need to do. Right now it is smack dab in the middle and I can not get it to align to the right of the logo. Any help please!!!

open your theme/header.php and place this in the area I pointed out in the first post

Code:

$showbanners &nbsp;

You are using the default banner module ....... right?
If you are I found the problem just replace the theme.php with the original theme.php.

If not please tell me what banner module you are trying to use.

well at least there not in the middle of the header now! ... lol!

Did you create a client for this banner in banners admin area?
Are the banners active in the banners admin area?

Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 5:24 pm

The banner module that is in RavenNuke(tm) 2.10.00 is from PHP-Nuke 7.9 or 8.0 (cannot remember which). It was more advanced than the original 7.6 version so a command decision was made to replace it.

You simply place the ads using the ads() function. For example, for ads that are for position '0', you would use ads(0). For position '1' ads, use ads(1). Etc...

Banners are active. When I put them in the left block they show up. For whatever reason they will not show up in the header.

So in header.html should I change?

$showbanners  

to

ads(0);

I just want to make sure....

No, $showbanners is correct. But in theme.php, the code to generate that variable needs to be replaced with

Code:




$showbanners = ads(0);

In theme.php I replaced...

Code:

$showbanners = "<a href=\"banners.php?op=click&bid=$bid\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$imageurl\" border=\"0\" alt='$alttext' title='$alttext'></a>&nbsp;";

With...

Code:

$showbanners = ads(0);

and still no go. Was this correct?

That should be all if you're using the latest RavenNuke, your theme uses the $showbanners variable in the header.html template, and you've set a banner using the Advertising module to position 0

I am using RVN v2.10.0 is this the latest version?

The advertising module is set to zero and working. If you visit the site you can see under the center block titled test the banner shows up there. I just can't seem to make it work in the header right next to the logo... this is getting frustrating....

Where is the $showbanners variable placed in your themes header template: header.html

This forum doesn't allow me to post the complete tags. Here is part in the header.html file..

Code:

<td width="40%">$showbanners &nbsp;</td>

Anyone else have any ideas?
