Default Introduction

A user asked the other day about using the GARS mod system to put Google Adsense after the article/tutorial/review/whatever. They figured it out quite quickly, however I saw this as a great opportunity to show others how to do it so that they can start to see how easy it is to write custom mods.

The module system is kind of similar to vB3.5's hook system in the fact that there are key sections that you can 'hook' into to provide extra functionality. Most of these key areas are for visual rendering, however there are plans to include additional 'hooks' in the editing and creating sections to allow users to record and edit custom fields without having to modify GARS at all!

There are currently 6 'hooks' where modules can produce output in an article/review/tutorial/whatever (so I don't have to keep typing that out - I'm going to call it a GAR from now on!).

Those locations are:
  1. Above the GAR
  2. Inside the header of the GAR
  3. Between the header and content of the GAR
  4. To the left of the GAR content (left column)
  5. To the right of the GAR content (right column)
  6. Below the GAR content.

So is there a way to put this "inline" in the GAR content? Ideally located "Left Inline" or "Right Inline" ...

You could put it in a column, either the left or right. Is that what you mean?

No ... inline in the GAR content block ...

Something like this where x is content in the GAR content block and y is the inline block within the GAR content block ...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyy

That is awfully close ... using this I can get this:

yyyyyyxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am sure you could also float this to the right ...

I think this is better than what we currently have ... readers are trained to ignore ads in a left hand column without other content ... so the current module structure just isn't the best long term solution for ads.

Does anyone know how to force this block down 5+ lines?
