Site is currently running vb 4.0.7 trying to upgrade it to vb 4.1.8 for my client as they want to be able to create iOS/Android app but I am having a little issue....

they have some ads along the side that I can't seem to fix....

http://www.pro-touring.com/forum.php <--- original site running 4.0.7

http://www.pro-touring.com/beta/forum.php <--- 4.1.8 working on

attached I included some screen shots as can see got /forum.php working/looking right but if click on a thread the ads are at the top and gotta scroll all the way to bottom of ads before see threads... same thing if click on a post....

Anyone help me fix this.

I think you need a "clear:none;" in the css for the ad column. "clear:left;" will not allow anything to the left of the column so it drops below the ads. I don't know where there would be a"clear:left;" for the ad column but you can override it with an inline style if you need to.

You know that your testing instance is not allowed to be accessible to the public, right?

there is no css for the ad (that I am aware of) there is just a plugin with this info

Code:

// info: init_startup(), Prod: vbulletin, name: Ad Generator



$sql = "SELECT styleid, multiplicity FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_banner_style";
$adv_styles = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave($sql);
while ($adv_style = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($adv_styles))
{
    $sql = "SELECT bannerid, src, alt, url FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_banner WHERE styleid = " . $adv_style['styleid'];
    $sql .= " ORDER BY RAND() ";
    if ($adv_style['multiplicity'] > 0) $sql .= " LIMIT " . $adv_style['multiplicity'];

    $adv_q = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave($sql);
    $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] = "";
    while ($bnr = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($adv_q))
    {
        if (substr($bnr['src'], -4) == '.txt')
        { // Scripted creative
            if ($bannerFile = fopen($bnr['src'], "r"))
            {
                $bannerSource = fread($bannerFile, filesize($bnr['src']));
                @fclose($bannerFile);
            } else {
                $bannerSource = "";  // Place error message/image here if you desire one
            }
            $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] .= '<div style="padding: 1px; border: none;">' . $bannerSource . '</div>';
        } else {
          // Image / URL creative
            $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] .= '<div style="padding: 1px; border: none;"><a href="' . $bnr['url'] . '" target="_New"><img src="' . $bnr['src'] . '" alt="' . $bnr['alt'] . '" border="0" /></a></div>';
        }
    }
}

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMDISPLAY', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('search_resultlist', array('banner' => $banner));

then in FORUMDISPLAY there is this code in there

Code:

<div style="float:right; width:100px; position:relative;">{vb:raw banner.1}</div>

<div id="content_container">
    <div id="content" style="margin-right:120px;">

then in FORUMHOME there is this code

Code:

<!-- Adversiting Edit -->
    <div id="sidebar_container" style="float:right; width:100px; margin:0px; padding:0px; margin-top:20px; position:relative;">{vb:raw banner.1}</div>


	<!-- Advertising Edit -->
	<div id="content_container">
		<div id="content" style="margin-right:120px;">

in navbar there is

Code:

<div style="width:468px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; margin-bottom:5px; margin-top:-5px;">{vb:raw banner.2}</div>

search_resultlist there is

Code:

<!-- Adversiting Edit -->
    <div id="sidebar_container" style="float:right; width:100px; margin:0px; padding:0px; margin-top:20px; position:relative;">{vb:raw banner.1}</div>


	<!-- Advertising Edit -->
	<div id="content_container">
		<div id="content" style="margin-right:120px;">

and finally but not least in SHOWTHREAD there is

Code:

<div style="float:right; width:100px; position:relative;">{vb:raw banner.1}</div>

<div id="content_container">
    <div id="content" style="margin-right:120px;">

I would just go through all the div tags in all those pieces of code and insert "clear:none;" in the style statements until it works. If doing that doesn't change anything edit it out. If a div doesn't have a style statement add one style="clear:none;" I would start with the code you posted on the bottom in the first div tag.

clear:none probably won't hurt anything and you can experiment around with html and css all you want without worrying you are going ruin anything -- if it does't work undo it.

SteveLV702 · #6 11-22-2011, 04:09 PM

ya didn't work :'(

nerbert · #7 11-22-2011, 04:20 PM

There are two div's in the first block of code, did you try those ?

PHP Code:


			
            $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] .= '<div style="padding: 1px; border: none;">' . $bannerSource . '</div>';
        } else {
          // Image / URL creative
            $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] .= '<div style="padding: 1px; border: none;"><a......

SteveLV702 · #8 11-22-2011, 04:45 PM

Yup

Code:

// info: init_startup(), Prod: vbulletin, name: Ad Generator



$sql = "SELECT styleid, multiplicity FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_banner_style";
$adv_styles = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave($sql);
while ($adv_style = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($adv_styles))
{
    $sql = "SELECT bannerid, src, alt, url FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_banner WHERE styleid = " . $adv_style['styleid'];
    $sql .= " ORDER BY RAND() ";
    if ($adv_style['multiplicity'] > 0) $sql .= " LIMIT " . $adv_style['multiplicity'];

    $adv_q = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave($sql);
    $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] = "";
    while ($bnr = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($adv_q))
    {
        if (substr($bnr['src'], -4) == '.txt')
        { // Scripted creative
            if ($bannerFile = fopen($bnr['src'], "r"))
            {
                $bannerSource = fread($bannerFile, filesize($bnr['src']));
                @fclose($bannerFile);
            } else {
                $bannerSource = "";  // Place error message/image here if you desire one
            }
            $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] .= '<div style="clear:none; padding: 1px; border: none;">' . $bannerSource . '</div>';
        } else {
          // Image / URL creative
            $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] .= '<div style="clear:none; padding: 1px; border: none;"><a href="' . $bnr['url'] . '" target="_New"><img src="' . $bnr['src'] . '" alt="' . $bnr['alt'] . '" border="0" /></a></div>';
        }
    }
}

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMDISPLAY', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('search_resultlist', array('banner' => $banner));

then I even tried with a clear: none;

Code:

// info: init_startup(), Prod: vbulletin, name: Ad Generator



$sql = "SELECT styleid, multiplicity FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_banner_style";
$adv_styles = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave($sql);
while ($adv_style = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($adv_styles))
{
    $sql = "SELECT bannerid, src, alt, url FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_banner WHERE styleid = " . $adv_style['styleid'];
    $sql .= " ORDER BY RAND() ";
    if ($adv_style['multiplicity'] > 0) $sql .= " LIMIT " . $adv_style['multiplicity'];

    $adv_q = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave($sql);
    $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] = "";
    while ($bnr = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($adv_q))
    {
        if (substr($bnr['src'], -4) == '.txt')
        { // Scripted creative
            if ($bannerFile = fopen($bnr['src'], "r"))
            {
                $bannerSource = fread($bannerFile, filesize($bnr['src']));
                @fclose($bannerFile);
            } else {
                $bannerSource = "";  // Place error message/image here if you desire one
            }
            $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] .= '<div style="clear: none; padding: 1px; border: none;">' . $bannerSource . '</div>';
        } else {
          // Image / URL creative
            $banner[$adv_style['styleid']] .= '<div style="clear: none; padding: 1px; border: none;"><a href="' . $bnr['url'] . '" target="_New"><img src="' . $bnr['src'] . '" alt="' . $bnr['alt'] . '" border="0" /></a></div>';
        }
    }
}

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMDISPLAY', array('banner' => $banner));

vB_Template::preRegister('search_resultlist', array('banner' => $banner));

neither worked :'(
