Hi all,

I want to set up my site with Orange balloon race (its a promotional stunt a UK phone network are doing, and it will drive traffic to your site).

http://www.playballoonacy.com

The script I need to add to my site is below. I've tried putting it on forumhome and footer but nothing shows - can you help?

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://www.playballoonacy.com/js/d9d71b2b2aa658f3b284624a64aac6fd/"></script>

This blog site shows a working example of what It should look like (scroll down and it will pop up in the bottom of your screen.

http://www.bluhalo.com/

Many thanks :)

Callum

Thats cool.

Can you not just add it to your footer ?

Open Styles & Templates > Search in Styles.

Choose your style.

Seach footer

Open footer. Goto Bottom and add

Hey Steve,

Glad it works for you :) I tried that but it doesn't work for some reason?

I tried your code very quickly too and that didn't work either.



Here's my footer code:


$ad_location[ad_footer_start]

<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>

<td class="blank" width="100%">&nbsp;</td>

That should work no problems. Perhaps you have ADBLOCK enabled on firefox, and cannot see it.?

Will check out your site. Dont use my code, as thats linked to a temp acct we setup, for testing purposes for you.

Just took a look at your source. Try this.

Find:

<td class="footer" align="right" width="100%">
<div class="smallfont">
<strong>
<a href="http://www.PhoneDevil.com/cv_rss_feeds.php" target="_self" title="Exclusive phone unlocking Devil Sim, Free mobile phone 3gp video downloads and Phone Reviews RSS Feeds"><img src="http://www.PhoneDevil.com/images/cinvin_forum_feed_listing/rss.gif" border="0" alt="Exclusive phone unlocking Devil Sim, Free mobile phone 3gp video downloads and Phone Reviews RSS Feeds" style="vertical-align: middle" /></a> - <a href="http://www.PhoneDevil.com/sendmessage.php" rel="nofollow" accesskey="9">Contact Us</a> -
<a href="http://www.PhoneDevil.com">Exclusive phone unlocking Devil Sim, Free mobile phone 3gp video downloads and Phone Reviews</a> -


<a href="archive/index.php/">Archive</a> -

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">Top</a>

</strong>
</div>
</td>



And change to this:

<td class="footer" align="right" width="100%">
<div class="smallfont">
<strong>
<a href="http://www.PhoneDevil.com/cv_rss_feeds.php" target="_self" title="Exclusive phone unlocking Devil Sim, Free mobile phone 3gp video downloads and Phone Reviews RSS Feeds"><img src="http://www.PhoneDevil.com/images/cinvin_forum_feed_listing/rss.gif" border="0" alt="Exclusive phone unlocking Devil Sim, Free mobile phone 3gp video downloads and Phone Reviews RSS Feeds" style="vertical-align: middle" /></a> - <a href="http://www.PhoneDevil.com/sendmessage.php" rel="nofollow" accesskey="9">Contact Us</a> -
<a href="http://www.PhoneDevil.com">Exclusive phone unlocking Devil Sim, Free mobile phone 3gp video downloads and Phone Reviews</a> -


<a href="archive/index.php/">Archive</a> -

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">Top</a>

</strong>
</div>
<!-- Balloon code-->

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://www.playballoonacy.com/js/d9d71b2b2aa658f3b284624a64aac6fd/"></script>

Im sure the easiest option would be to go into Styles and Templates.

Enter the template you are using, which is the vbskinzone one.

Search for:

<a href="archive/index.php/">Archive</a> -

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">Top</a>

That hopefully should narrow it down, at a rough guess, it will be some footer template or other...

Ozzy





EDIT:

Ignore that !
You should be able to add it in your footer.
Are you sure you are using your own, code generated by Ballooonacy?

Perhaps if you arent, then it wont show. Did you give them correct url.

Because, adding the code I gave you in post 2, should indeed work, if added as you have indeed added it.

Yep definately using my own code :) And the site was approved by Orange

Have a word with Maestro, over at VbSkinzone.

He is a top fella, give him your code, and admin access, he will sort it for you.

I dare say the issue arrises with the bottom, RSS banner thing you have.
