I am not that great at PHP and customizing the forum board page template...but if the SMF Ads Mod won't place the ad between the category, is there a way to insert the link in the board page (ie http://domain.com/banners) so that is appears between the categories? Sorry new to the whole forum thing.

Is there a theme I should use that this works with? I thought the Core theme was a standard theme...which is why I was using it. Because it was a simple and clean look. Not using any other mods than the SMF Ads. Any thoughts?

If I put "1,2" it puts one at end of each category (in grey box at bottom of category)...but not in between the categories...

I am using the standard Core theme...not mod...

Still shows at end of Category #1 and not between them...

Not trying to be a pest...but at closer look the add is not between the categories...it is at the end of the first category in like a grey box...is the a way to actually have it between the categories so the top and bottom categories look like they are in their own tables and the ad is in between with just the page background behind it?

This is a screenshot

The last part of the two files were missing...so I copied the tail end from where your code off from the orig files...and the banner is working...but I am missing something from the footer section.

I figured it out...well part of it...the end code was missing on the files.

Thank you the banner is now showing between the categories...awesome.

The bottom footer still has the SMFADS link over the top of the Simple Machine copyright. Is that a quick fix?

I uploaded and got this error when I tried to open forum:

Any insight on my issue?

So I did a fresh install of SMF 2.0.14 on my test server and modified the files according to the Parser.

The ad that I wanted between the Categories is showing up on top of the Categories. But I still could not find the <tbody class="divider"> section to add the code under.

I also need to have the QueryString.php edited to fix the overlap on the bottom since I have done the fresh install.

Sorry...not trying to be a pain...just trying to get the ad setup so I can move this out to live server. Thank you for your help. Once I get this live will make donation for all the trouble.   

When I run the PARSER...it says in the file $themedir/BoardIndex.template.php to edit two codes...

I found the first one and added it...but the second one, I can't find the line of code that I am supposed to paste after (the DIVIDER CLASS). It says...

FIND:

<tbody class="divider">
            <tr>
               <td colspan="4"></td>
            </tr>
         </tbody>';

THEN PASTE AFTER:

   echo '<tbody><tr><td colspan="4">';
   //Display ads Between cats
   if (function_exists("show_category"))
   {
      $ads = show_category($category['id']);
      if(!empty($ads))
         if($ads['type']==0)
            echo $ads['content'];
         else
            eval($ads['content']);
      unset($ads);
   }
   echo '         </td></tr></tbody>';

What file am I uploading to the parser? Sorry new to this...
