|
|
Take a look at the screen shot of this forum :
| Code: | | http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9123/dfsfs8.png |
In there you can see a block for displaying ads on the right side of the screen
Its visible on the index page,view forum page and view topic page
I would like to know how to make this possible  |

| Use a frame and have the forums' index.php in the 90% left frame and have the ads display in the 10% right frame. |

Yeah, you can do it with two table cells. Start at the overall_header and create a table to enclose the entire forum. If you don't have a portal using forum-wide blocks, place this at the very end of your overall_header.
| Code: | <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top"> |
Then place this at the very beginning of your overall_footer.
| Code: | </td>
<td width="160" valign="top">
[PLACE YOUR GOOGLE TOWER ADS WITHIN THIS TABLE CELL ON THE FOOTER]
</td>
</tr>
</table> |
I chose 160 pixels because that is google's widest vertical ad, but you could also choose 120 pixels for the skinnier ad. You may have to experiement a bit. |

The same way except by putting the <td> with the google ads on the overall header before the <td> with the forum.
This goes at the very end of the overall_header.tpl
| Code: | <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="160" valign="top">
[PLACE YOUR GOOGLE TOWER ADS WITHIN THIS TABLE CELL ON THE HEADER]
</td>
<td valign="top">
|
And this at the very beginning of the overall_footer.tpl
| Code: | </td>
</tr>
</table>

This is a lot harder to do with a fixed width template such as the one you showed me in your link.
I'm not at all familiar with phpBB3, but from what I can tell from looking at the source code, the width is controlled by that template's .css file, and you may have to edit the background graphics a bit to make it work. |

Get the Firefox Web Developer add-on. Then select View > Toolbars > Web Developer Toolbar. The CSS > View CSS and View > CSS Style Information menu choices makes it a lot easier to navigate a page. In this case, there's a bunch of width tags sprinkled in the CSS, e.g.:
http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/styles/sucu_cocuk/theme/stylesheet.css
| Code: | #header {
position: relative;
background: #fff url(./images/header-bg.jpg) repeat-y center top;
height: 35px;
width:910px;
padding: 0;
color: #fff;
} |
