Placing Ads outside the "body"

First make a new template (examplename: skyscraper):

Put the following content in it:

<style>.skywrapper {    position: relative;    width: {vb:stylevar wrapper_max_width};    margin: auto;}.skyscraper {    position: absolute;    right: 0px;    margin-right: -160px;}@media only screen and (max-width:1520px) {    .skywrapper {        display:none;    }}</style><div class="skywrapper"><div class="skyscraper"><img src="/images/skyscraper.png"></div></div>

Second, create a hook for your template and choose the template-hook "header_before_notices".

If your forum wrapper have a 1200px max-width and your skyscraper have a 160px witdh it should work now. If not you have to edit @media only [wrapper-width + (skyscraper-width * 2)]

In my example 1520px = 1200 wrapper and 160px skyscraper * 2

Thats it!

If you have a full width forum you should use a 3 column-layout.

Would be nice to see you at my forum, there are some other add-ons, exapmles...

Hey delicjous, I will answer you with respect to the english speaking community here. First of it all, I want to really thank you since your tip just brought me a big step further to my aim. Your code is working and did exactly what I wanted.



Maybe you can give me another useful hint, since I want to integrate also a wallpaper/leaderboard ad to my site.



My aim is to place the wallpaper ad directly below the very top navbar (the one with the private messages and profile links). But that doesnt seem to work with any hook position, since then the banner ?s overlaying or messing with the top design (you can see an example on the third picture).



You can see the actual position on the pic below. The ad should be between the logo & search bar and the very top navbar. Right now the ad is on the very top above all (I positioned the hook at "header after body begin").



Unfortunately every other hook position wont work since the design gets messed or elements repositioned. In the "worst" case, I would also be okay if just the width of the very top navbar would be the same as my forum (1300 px) but until now I couldnt find any option to change the width of this navbar element.


Kind regards from germany,
