I just felt like posting - like the forums design. So as someone that has been using vBulletin since 1.1 and got turned down by google (to many bad words I guess - (its a freaking sports forum))

Anyway - something like this people can make complicated - its simple, find the header and footer templates - as I said, never used phpbb so no clue what they are called - but should be easy to find


then just drop in at the end of the header template, (or if there is a table starting at the end just before that)

[code:1:9183b01121]
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
[/code:1:9183b01121]

then at the very start of the footer template (same thing, if there was a table started in the header, it would end at the start of the footer - so if that is the case, after that)


[code:1:9183b01121]
</td>
<td width="120" style="padding-left:10px"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "";
google_alternate_ad_url = "";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_color_border = "C8C2B3";
google_color_bg = "F7F5EE";
google_color_link = "536D89";
google_color_url = "536D89";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></td>
</tr>
</table>
[/code:1:9183b01121]








} else if ($yourdesire=="on the right side") {










header end would be

[code:1:9183b01121]
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="120" style="padding-right:10px">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "";
google_alternate_ad_url = "";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_color_border = "C8C2B3";
google_color_bg = "F7F5EE";
google_color_link = "536D89";
google_color_url = "536D89";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></td>
<td>
[/code:1:9183b01121]

and footer would be



[code:1:9183b01121]
</td>
</tr>
</table>
[/code:1:9183b01121]






Thats if you want it on the side - if you want it on the top, just find the header - and throw the code in there and see what happens


I have no clue why - but every time I see a hack for a side bar on a forum, its like this hack actually - when all it should be a simple a table with two cells

[Zach]

well ignore the [code] tags - I guess they dont work ?

[kwvarga]

fix the top ones .. you have [\code]

[Zach]

Boy, its amazing how well things work when you do them right. Guess I have been doing to much escaping the last few days, fingers just can stop hitting the back slash

[Pudd]

Are overall_header.tpl and overall_footer.tpl the templates you would use for adding something like that?
The ones you find in subsilver (or whatever template you are using)?

[SVB]

Yep, at the bottom of overall_header.tpl add the adsense code and it will come out like on my forum.

[Pudd]

Ahh, I see... So can you add what ever you want there and it'll just show in that area of the forum?
I shall have a play with this new found information... lol

[SVB]

Yup thats right :-D
Just add it to the very bottom of overall_header.tpl and you can add all sorts of things, like links, banners, and text etc :-D
If you need any examples of it just ask

[Pudd]

Spend a few hours playing with most of the template files, I'm suprised to find how easy phpbb is to customise!!! I've pretty much totally redesigned it (keeping the copyrights and everything.... Is that allowed :s ?)... However I am having a few problems with relative referencing... Where should I reference from "forums/"?

Also, when you log in, which file is used for the overall_header? Cause I took out the CSS from overall_header (I will put in a link to a seperate CSS when I figure out how to! lol) to save bandwidth (as it suggests), but the whole lot appears in the sourse code when you're logged in....
