Hello everyone,

Our client would like to have yahoo sponsered links in top 3 most visited forums.

Please visit the following link to have an idea:

http://forum.canadianparents.com/ubbthre...n=99#Post657366

We would like to integrate sponsored links just below the first post in those three forums. but I have no idea how to do it and if it is even feasible?

I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this.

thanks guys.

that link gives an access denied.

ubb.threads allows for custom islands displayed right under the first post of a topic. You can just put whatever Yahoo sponsored link there.

You can set this on a per forum basis, at the custom inserts tab.

Hi blaaskaak,

Thank you very much for your help.

I tried to insert a custom island through Forum settings->custom inserts. I have few questions here:

1)Island has been added above all the forum topics. what I assumed is it will be added between the first and second posts.

2)All i can see is "Forum Introduction Title" and "Forum Introduction body". No matter what I have between the body of the custom island it is not showing up in the frontend.

I just tried a example code in my island:



what am I missing here?

Does anyone have an example of adding search engine sponsored links in a custom island?

You need to to pick an island in the "Custom Island Insert" setting in that forum to have it between the first and second post.

That was one has an example of a google adds custom island content.

I did select my custom island to be inserted in that particular forum, but for some reason it is not showing up

Hm, very strange, it has not failed on me yet, your island code above looks fine.

You could try it with one without any php code, just plain simple text, and see if the island does display something if you put it in a sidebar.

Hi blaasaak,

Thank you once again for your time. Finally I fixed it I had some issues with the Smarty template path. I went nuts figuring it out.

It works now
