PLEASE HELP! phpads - VBulletin Board Dummy Here

[GOAZCATS.com]

OK, here is the situation:

I am in desparate need of help and I think it may be a simple solution. We run a board that was running phpads (the old version) and in it we had a template called phpincludes_start and then a modified header that places the code for the ads. The rotating banner ads would display right next to the logo on the top of our boards.

Here is our site: http://forum.goazcats.com

This was the code that we had in phpincludes_start:

require("/www/goazcats/phpAds/config.inc.php3");
require("/www/goazcats/phpAds/view.inc.php3");
require("/www/goazcats/phpAds/acl.inc.php3");
$banner = view(home);


Then in the header we had the following where we wanted the banner:

<? $banner; ?>

Well it worked until the upgrade to 3.50 and the usage of plugins. I really think there probably is a simple solution, just do not know how to do it.

You can see that our banners are working at this test page where we have both the code from the phpinclude and the banner code:

http://forum.goazcats.com/adtest.php


Now that there is no phpinclude_start in 3.5 where do I place the code that we had there? If I do had a plugin what template do I say the hook is in? The header template is not in the drop down menu of availavble hooks.

To be honest I am not even sure if that makes sense or if I am on the right track.

I could really use some help- Help please! I tried over at VBulletin and their guy said he could not help with plugins -t hough that is what seems to be the problem. If you have a solution or suggestion please let me know.

Thanks so much.
