Hi Guys

I have a html affiliates code which I used on my previous 2.3.6 forum. Anyway, I can't find where I can add it on the board index. I've tried a few times but it all goes weird.

I'm wanting to place it on the board footer, any ideas?

Have you tried the ad-code integration ?

ACP > Tools / Setings > Ad Code Integration >

Switch it on (top setting) then about the fourth option down 'Footer Code' put it there.

Not sure how it will look (depends on your code) but worth a quick try first before doing skin edits


If its not right there, I'll suggest a couple of places to try it if needed.

Many thanks about that Andy.

I didn't know about that. I just tried it and it worked which is great. The only problem I have with my code is that it doesn't intergrate into any colour of the skin theme like this:

This is the code that I am using:

<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" width="100%">
<tr>
<th><center><b><font size=3>Affiliates</font></b></center></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%"><center><b><font size=2>
</font></b>
</center> </td>
</tr>
</table>

I've removed all the affiliate links from there.

If possible I wanted to add a bit of the skin theme into where the header of Affiliates is, if possible.

Try this (not really tested)

<br />
<div class='general_box'>
<h3><img src='{$this->settings['img_url']}/comment_new.png' alt='' /> &nbsp;Affiliates</h3>
<br />

**** PUT YOUR CODE HERE ****

<br />
</div>
<br />

I think the image code (the comment_new.png, its this > might not parse properly in there, but you can simply link to a suitable image if needed. The one you want is /public/style_images/master/comment_new.png

Typo :)

[Destiny67]

That coding worked. Thank you!  

I removed the br tags as I was trying to move it to fit in closer to the icon legends and the skin menu underneath but haven't quite got that far like this:

Is there a way to tighten that gap at all?

[SteveH]

Is there any particular </br> in the GlobalTemplate above the board footer for the skin you are using.

[AndyF]

There's nothing in the global template to remove the gap unfortunately, its just

{$items['adFooterCode']}

, I cannot see anything elsewhere either, and not sure if (attempting) to chop it out of a source file would be a good idea (although I've not checked to see if a linebreak is added there)

[Destiny67]

That's fine then and thanks for looking.  

One last thing, which part of my code would I need to remove to get rid of the black border?

Edit: Forget that, I just changed the 1 border size to 0 and that worked.

Thanks Andy for your help, much appreciated.  

[AndyF]

You're welcome.

Changing Border to 0 usually removes said border
