You can see it at the bottom of the forum.

The reason for the post is because it didn't work with my VBa CMPS and caused all sorts of template issues.

I messed around with it and managed to get it working with my template. I'm a complete noob at all this so no idea whether it's right or needs tweaking but it works for me.

Here is the amended code, bearing in mind all I did is leave off the end links section and change the size...

Now I've got loads of mods installed but this section is located in the FOOTER template (sure it's just a typo above asking to amend the fotter) after this code:

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">$vbphrase[top]</a>
</strong>

This is on the darkness template by bluepearl design.


Add this code :


<!-- affiliate link at bottom of CMPS -->

<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong><center>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet]Affiliates</center></strong></span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="140">
<style>
.imgfade{filter:alpha(opacity=30); -moz-opacity:1;margin-left:3px}
.imgfull{filter:alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity:1;margin-left:3px}
</style>

<marquee width="850" valign="center" direction="right" scrolldelay="2" scrollamount="2" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">

<a href="url here"><img src="image link here " alt="alt text here" border="0" /></a>

<!-- /end of affiliate marque -->


If this code is wrong and someone can post the correct code or position post it here. Like I said, complete noob and educated guess to get this working with my template.

Hope this helps.

Whitey..
