Hello

What should the manual install look like, cause I can't get it to work. ATCS works fine but I need a different order.

I tried 2 settongs

<div id="sidebar_container">
<!-- sidebar -->
$template_hook[profile_right_first]
$blocks[stats_mini]
$blocks[ads]
$template_hook[profile_right_mini]
$blocks[friends_mini]
$blocks[youtube]
$blocks[albums]
$template_hook[profile_right_album]
$blocks[groups]
$blocks[visitors]
$template_hook[profile_right_last]
<!-- / sidebar -->
</div>

and

<div id="sidebar_container">
<!-- sidebar -->
$template_hook[profile_right_first]
$blocks[stats_mini]
$blocks_ads
$template_hook[profile_right_mini]
$blocks[friends_mini]
$blocks[youtube]
$blocks[albums]
$template_hook[profile_right_album]
$blocks[groups]
$blocks[visitors]
$template_hook[profile_right_last]
<!-- / sidebar -->
</div>

For a manual template edit you need to use $blocks_ads, as per the instructions.

Will work on implementing some Usergroup controls.

Thanks, Paul.

how about working on RC3?

[GoTTi]

installed. waiting for the ads to load...
we can put any advertising code in this correct? doesnt have to be google adsense right?

[Awjvail]

It doesn't seem to work for me.

I've put in my publisher number thing, and it seems as though it is a large ad (wide and short), and not the square you show in the screenshot. "/* 728x90, created 2/22/08 */"

[TheBlackPoet]

maybe its just me..., but google adsense makes a site looks less reputable.... I mean really.., who ever clicks on that shit anyway??? while i love google analytics... and praise its "free-ness" the only real winner of google adsense is google.... are the pennies you MIGHT get, worth the quality of your site???

imo..

Can you use an ad code that isn't google in that spot, or does it have to be google?

[Tom_S]

Thanks Paul. Another nice mod.

[redraider]

[PaulSonny]

Firstly I'd like to apologise for taking so long to reply, I have been tide up in developing other modifications.

It sounds to me like you have created the wrong size ad. I think you need to go back to your Google account and create a new ad with the correct dimensions.

That is your opinion. I think if Ads are placed in the right place then they can be quite useful, but Ads placed everywhere on the site I agree makes it look messy and unprofessional.

I believe you can put any Ad code in, not just restricted to Google Ads.

ATCS - this means that all the template edits are automatic, there is no need to do manual template edits.

Thanks, Paul.
