Multiple Forum Skins - separate Amazon ad for each forum

[Ironduke]

Hey there,

I'm trying to create 27 customized skins using manually contextualized Amazon widgets displaying products that are highly tailored to the subject matter of each forum.

I have failed in every attempt - every time I create a new skin (whether child or no parent), ads from another skin override everything. E.g., if I have contextualized ads for video game consoles in the Pub, and self-development non-fiction in the Member Introductions, they are overridden.

How do I make it so the ads remain set (currently attempting in the ad_below_threadlist), and are not effected by completely overridden by the ads in other skins? This is a very frustrating matter for me.

Anybody have any workarounds for this issue?

Thanks, Ironduke

Bump - there ought to be a solution, right?

If you have coded them right they shouldnt be showing on your skins. How are you adding the ad's on each Skins?
With hooks? template edits? Vb built in Ad system? a Mod?
more info is needed

Template edits, no hooks, no mods.

Simply a copy paste of the Amazon generated custom ad in the ad_belowthreadlist template.

As you can see at the bottom in Member Introductions:

-this should be self-development books

If you look at the bottom of the thread list in World Affairs Board Pub
http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/wor...irs-board-pub/
-this is video games. It is overriding the self-development books selection from the generated custom Amazon ad.

this is showing me a Google Ad

In your post you said "Skins" this is just a different forum
Template edits into the Template wouldnt work like that
use the default Advertising system in your adminCP you can pick ad's for each forum that way
