PPN, excuse my naivety but this is the first time for me doing banners.

Question: When filling in the section 'Code to be shown as advert', what exactly does this mean? Could you show an example of one please?

Also, do I have to have the banners on my server? I would like to link the banners to the advertisers' servers. How can this be accomplished?

Thanks for your help and great hack!

help need please this is just the hack i need to can not seem to install it any one help me out please

Stealthy, for the Code to be shown you can put in whatever you like and it will replace $advert in any of your code, it can be images, text or javascript. Its up to you it doesn't matter what you have.

I have

active, do what the instructions say in the text file within the zip. Make the code changes and then upload ads.php then run the sql query at the top to create the table.

PPN:

Sorry. I meant January 1, 2002. If I delete the ad and reenter it at say 2200 then at 0001 it gets reset back to January 1, 2002.

Sorry if I wasn't clear before.

Parker

sorry to be a pain but were do i run the sql?

Thanks PPN, I will give it a try.

Also, I am getting the same problem as Parker. When I save the advert, I save it as 30 June 2002 but when I go back in to modify, it is set to 1 January 2002. Maybe this is why I cannot get the banner to show up as it is expired??

What version of php are you running Parker? Its now 01:21 and its running fine on my local board which is php 4.2.1. Also what mysql version are you running?

I had a problem, you meantioned to upgrade, I did, and problem disappeared, I could move threads again. But now I can't use this hack. The adverts won't show up.

Ah, I see now.
It does say 2002 in my hear, but resets the dates to jan 1st, 2002. If i change them, then goto 'edit' it still says '1 jan 2002'. So that is why they wont' show up.

Ok i obviously have a date problem I cant find on linux i'll play with it tonight after work.
