 Hey bigguy, I'm running the Dilber MC theme and I'm still confused about that </td> that I need to find. Could you help me locate exactly which one I'm looking for? Thanks a bunch.

[bigguy]

There will only be a few that have the space infront of it. Thats what you have to look for.

      </td>

[Cholo]

 Then do I add code after each one I find with the space in front of it? or just the first? Could you please show me a little more of the code that goes before and after that particular "</td>?
-I just got done editing the boardindex.template.php and I've noticed that I can't find any display.template.php -->Was there one to begin with? or did something happen, bc now I've got "error_log" in bold black there. This has got me worried, I appreciate all your help already. Thanks 

[bigguy]

Any template files that you dont find in a theme you are trying to modify means that smf is reading from the "Default" theme templates, so there is no reason to edit or try to find files that aren`t there. I will look in my index.template.php and find the position of the code for you. hold on for a minute or 3.

[bigguy]

In the dilberMC theme in the Index.template.php find:

Code: [Select]

<td valign="middle" height="30" class="smalltext" style="padding-left:10px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px;">
<b>', $txt[102], '</b>: ', $context['random_news_line'], '
</td>
';
After that put:

Code: [Select]

        //Welcome Ads
$ads = show_welcomeAds();

if(!empty($ads))
{
echo '<td class="windowbg2">';
if($ads['type']==0)
echo $ads['content'];
else
eval($ads['content']);
echo '</td>';
}
unset($ads);
echo '

Thanks a ton, I'll do that- I've been waiting for you to get on here all day. haha.
 Hey, two more questions
-So, I need to edit the display.template.php in the default theme? (I was just wondering about that template bc the Classic Yabbse      theme and the Babylon theme have that template, but I guess Dilber MC does not).
-My ads (on the bottom of the page) are off to the left; of course I'm not done with all the edits yet-Should they center themselves  when I'm done or do I need to do something else? Thanks again!

-oh yeah, and so I shouldn't be scared of the "error_log"?

[Cholo]

  I put it here-this is what my code looks like now. I saved the changes and I got a parse template error. Or parse code, I forget. haha.



          </td>
         ';
     //Welcome Ads
         $ads = show_welcomeAds();
   
         if(!empty($ads))
         {
            echo '<td class="windowbg2">';
            if($ads['type']==0)
               echo $ads['content'];
            else
               eval($ads['content']);
            echo '</td>';
         }
         unset($ads);
   echo '
 
 

        echo '
            </form>

Putting center tags around the ad code should center it. Did you find the code I talked about and place the ad code in the right spot I can`t help but seeing this in your code:

Code: [Select]

</form>
that is not part of the ad code or the template i don`t think. ( I closed my editor but I didn`t see that anywhere)

[Cholo]

 Yeah, that part is just the code that follows where I put in the part you told me to.  My forum's not showing up now-parse template error 

[bigguy]

Did you place it like I said 5 posts up

[Cholo]

1.  Just like that, and it screwed up my template for some reason    RebelRose gave me her template and I just overwrote my messed up one with hers and now I'm fine. I am still wanting to finish doing the edits I need for the ad mod, so I guess I'll just try it again.
2. So bigguy, for the ad mod, what I need to do is edit the templates of the Dilber MC theme, right? Except for the files that it doesn't have, like display.template.php -- with that file (for example) I need to edit the default files. correct?

[bigguy]

When you install a modification through the package manager it modifies the default theme so no you don`t have to touch the default templates unless the mod didn`t install right. All you need to edit is the temlpate files in the DilberMC theme folder.

EDIT: And maybe the Modifications.english.php file

[Cholo]

 In your instructions for editing modified themes, it calls for editing the "display.template.php" file. My Dilber MC theme doesn't have that file. So does that mean I go look for that file in the default theme and edit it there? or does that mean that I just don't make the edits to display.template.php?
