Ad Management for phpBB 3.2

JGarth · Post by **JGarth** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 6:07 am

What is a good ad management extension that will work for phpBB 3.2?

I would like to be able to have rotating banner as header at top...one as footer...then potentially under the navbar header and between my two category sections.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for the links. When I download the ZIP and unpack and upload to ext folder...I don't see it in the ACP.

Am I doing something wrong?

I also don't see all the files when I unzip that are listed on GitHub.

The files listed here are not supposed to be in the zip-file: https://github.com/phpbb-extensions/ad- ... attributes

What path within ext/ do you use?

I am not sure where in the ext/ folder they should go. Sorry, I am pretty new to phpBB.

It should be ext/phpbb/ads/. In ads/ belong the whole content of the zip-file.

So that you have ext/phpbb/ads/composer.json and all the other files.

But it is still in beta. So take care.

OK...thanks...will try it again.

Awesome. That worked. I have two questions that maybe you can help with...

(1) Can an ad be placed between two categories? I have two groups of forums in categories and would like to split them with an ad banner. Is that possible?

(2) Can javascript be placed in the code for a banner so that you can fade like 3 banners (slideshow)?

Sorry for so many newbie questions.

Best to ask in the topic for the extension itself....or read the topic as it may have already been covered.
