Default Need help....

I've installed this script over at TalkDevelopers.com.

The problem I have is I'm not quite sure what I have to do in order for the advertisements to display.

Setup: 468x60 banners in header, text links and 125x125 advertisements on the main page.

I tried the string it tells you to use in the skins, but I'm not sure which number, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Adam Scoville.

Can you post the contents of the debug in a post between [php] tags?

According to that configuration - $GAB_ads[0] will have the output in it. You can see what numbers billboards are assigned to by admincp-> gab ->scripts->master

There you will see a list of each $GAB_ads[x] and which (if any) billboard is assigned to it.

Problem is, you dont have any banners uploaded yet and your permissions are set yet (chmod geek/ gab /images and subfolders to 0777)

HTHs!

All I see in the dropdown boxes is Default.

What would I do if I wanted 468x60 ads in the header, text links and some other ads below that to the side of the forums?

I apologize, I'm new to this and want to get it working properly.

You need to create additional billboards with additional ads. Right now you only have 1 billboard (default) with 1 ad configured.

I've managed to get text links working.

Now, my other problem is it's only picking up one 1 text link and I have 2 or 3 there right now. Any help on that?

THere are only 2 ads in there. You have 2 blocks assigned in your master script:
$GAB_ads[0]
and
$GAB_ads[1]

But you only have $GAB_ads[1] in your forumhome template. Put $GAB_ads[0] in a template and another will appear.
