Try what KMac posted on the top of page 4. :)

No, it will not pick one ad at random. It will only show what you put in there.

Yes, it would be possible, if you make a .php file that randomly picks an image, and then like right to the image with the html img code.

If the image does not display because it doesn't accept .php as an image format, make the file that randomly picks an image named index.php and put it in a folder named something like image.gif(make it have a .gif or .jpg extension). Then just have the html point to that folder(not to index.php in it, just the folder with the extension).

Yes, that is the one that should work for simple subforums. But make sure you get a backup of the files and database in case something goes wrong. ;)

BBCode support is included in the next version(it will be out when the Mod Team approves it(which should have been a while ago). I don't think I will ever let it support php, and I don't know how I even would do that right now.

Add Categories?

No, I am not going to have multiple/random images for this mod. It is a Forum Sponsor mod, not an advertisement manager(would need a complete overhaul to support that other stuff, something I do not have the time to do).

TOTAL NOOB NEEDS HELP!

Post by Bud Wiser »

Ok, I read this whole thread, I must be a total boob, because I can not figure out how to make this work.

I can install add ons and mods on lots of forums, but the instructions here is not clear to me.

Wouldn't a step by step instructions be a good idea for each mod?

Where do I upload the xml and xsl files????

I've done the manual mod changes to all the files, and see the new box, although it doesn't say sponsors.

I tried to add my google code there, but it does not show.

I uploaded the xml and xsl file in the main root.

Pls any help would be greatly appreciated and keep in mind I am not fimilar with any phpbb modes.

Thank you in advance!

The upgrades are in the contrib/upgrades folder.

And no, I did not get a chance to look into the simple subforums mod.

There are step by step instructions...just like every other mod in the mods database. ;)

The XML and XSL are just a different format(ModX) instead of having it as the other plain text format(plain text instructions are in the contrib/ folder). You may open the XML file with any web browser(like Firefox or IE) and you will see...

Are you running the latest version of this mod? If you are not, upgrade, then try it again.
