specific Banner Location

[HeadRat]

I know how to put a banner at the top. My questions is, can I put the banners BETWEEN forums listed?

IE: my forum is www.ratpackinternational.com

I want to put advertising banners down between sections of the forum lists. Like say after the Solicating forums, but before Ranting and Raving.

Any help on that?

You would need to edit this template:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Forum Home Templates -> forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

At the top of this template, add this code:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 15">
	STUFF TO SHOW BEFORE THE "Ranting and Raving" FORUM
	(forumid 15)
</if>

Ok, I did this

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 50">
<img src="[url="http://www.ratpackinternational.com/forums/images/advertisehere1.jpg"]http://www.ratpackinternational.com/forums/images/advertisehere1.jpg[/url]" align="middle">
</if>

I did that without the 'align="middle"' and I got it at the top of my forum, I added the align and it doesn't come up at all now. What am I doing wrong?

You are working within the forumbit table, so you need to put the image within table elements. It can't be floating there by itself. For example:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 15">
	<tr>
		<td>
		STUFF TO SHOW BEFORE THE "Ranting and Raving" FORUM
		(forumid 15)
		</td>
	</tr>
</if>

I used this:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 50">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="[url="http://www.ratpackinternational.com/forumname/images/advertisehere1.jpg"]http://www.ratpackinternational.com/forumname/images/advertisehere1.jpg[/url]"> 
 
(forumid 50)
</td>
</tr>
</if>

and nothing happens. Not even a blank box with a square in it, I know the directory is right and the file is uploaded to the correct spot. What am I doing wrong?

[HeadRat]

so what am I doing wrong?

[Jake Bunce]

Sorry, I must have overlooked this.

The code looks correct, except there is no image at:

http://www.ratpackinternational.com/forumname/images/advertisehere1.jpg

Are you sure, letter for letter this is right, because I have an image in that location and it still does not show up. Even if I didn't have an image in that location, wouldn't it still show a blank box with an "x" in it?
The only thing I have different in the code is the "http:....jpg" that I have up here.

There is still no image at that location:

http://www.ratpackinternational.com/forumname/images/advertisehere1.jpg

Not necessarily. Some browsers like Firefox do not display broken images.

dude, the images is there, the full http is:

http://www.ratpackinternational.com/packchat/images/advertisehere1.jpg

But it still is not showing up

dude, the images is there, the full http is:

http://www.ratpackinternational.com/packchat/images/advertisehere1.jpg

But it still is not showing up

Also, if and when it does show up, I will need to know how to center it being as the way I learned code and image placement no longer works.

[Jake Bunce]

dude, the images is there, the full http is:
http://www.ratpackinternational.com/...rtisehere1.jpg

That URL is different than the one you originally posted:

http://www.ratpackinternational.com/forumname/images/advertisehere1.jpg

http://www.ratpackinternational.com/packchat/images/advertisehere1.jpg

I will need to take a look. I can do this if you send me a PM with a URL and admin login to your forums.

[HeadRat]

I don't think I feel comfortable giving up that information.

Is there any other way?

[Jake Bunce]

Not really. I don't know what the problem is, so I need to see everything for myself.

[HeadRat]

Check your PM's it should be there.
