    Unresolved problem with posting ad in phpBB3

    Sorry, but all available information didn't help. Have to ask.

    How to insert the ad in phpBB3, advanced plan, immediate PHP?

    1. Tutorial http://forums.x10hosting.com/tutoria...ds-phpbb3.html
    says:
    For the Advanced plan:
    1) Login to the phpbb acp (http://yourdomain.com/phpBB3folder/adm/)
    2) Click “styles”
    3) Click “Templates”
    4) Click the edit next to “prosilver”
    5) In the drop down box find overall_footer.php
    But only html files are available.

    2. Search shows, that in case of phpBB3 problems, remove install directory. No Install directory, checked. Install file is renamed right after installation.

    3. Read before posting thread http://forums.x10hosting.com/free-ho...e-posting.html
    says:
    Where do I get the ads? / Where do I put the ads?
    The required ads and instructions can be located here: http://forums.x10hosting.com/ads.php. They are only required on Ad-Enhanced accounts.
    This link leads to the page with:
    An Error Has Occurred
    You must log in to view this page.
    Checked twice.
    I am logged in for forums, and now posting without additional log in, so I really am logged.

    How can I access instructions, or how can I add ads?
    Thank you.

    Thanks, but there is only the code to insert, not WHERE to insert it in phpBB3.
    Tutorial says - in php file, but only html files are available in Edit ProSilver template.

    You might have to look on the developers website, we don't officially support any of the scripts as far as inserting ads and such goes since there are so many it would be impossible.

    Re: Unresolved problem with posting ad in phpBB3

    Sorry to bother you again, but I must insert this:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://x10hosting.com/adserve.js?advanced"></script>
    somewhere at phphBB3 forum.

    Terms of service say, that this should be on every page of website.
    I'm not asking for support, just tell me, where should I put this ad in phpBB3, to be able to fulfill my part of agreement.

    I hope you don't mind.

    On the other hand, if only developers know that, where they are?
    I asked here, because tutorial about inserting your ads in phpBB3 is on this forum. Only my website doesn't allow to do, what was recommended there.

    The file might be called overall_footer.html
    Look for something with the word footer.

    Thank you! Problem solved.

    Inserting ads code in ProSilver overall_footer.html - just as in usual html files, within <body> </body> tags - works. After being entered in this template, ads appear in other styles too.
