Lenny Warren Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi there, I want to use a custom advertisement placement, and I don't know which template, to add it to... I want to place it on the footer, in the middle where the "Contact us" is, with the "contact us" on the same line but right justified? Anybody help with where to put the line {advertisement=“ADVERT”} ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody help with where to put the line {advertisement=“ADVERT”} ????? GlobalTemplate .. near bottom (you will need to experiment until you get where wanted) otherwise could have it above the Contact Us by not using custom placement and using the 'Just above the page footer' e.g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Warren Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Weird, when I do this @steve00 I can actually see the text "{advertisement=“ADVERT”} " rather then the graphic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Warren Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 If I move around the {advertisement="ad_global_footer"} which is one of the default options I can move the banner, but always throws the social media icons down a line... sigh, guess I'm just being pernickity...

If you are putting it in System-> Advertisments, I believe you should be inserting HTML code such as <div> <p>My happy advertising</p> </div> and not {advertisement=“ADVERT”} Or you can use the upload image option in the same panel.

That is what you are supposed to do You put your ad code (or url etc in the box ... depending which option you go for) in the box then add your {advertisement="name_of_key"} (as entered in the ' Custom location keys' box) into the template where you want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the reason then ... knew it had to be something simple Why would you even set for all those areas in one go ... advert can only be used in one location ... if want for other locations as well then need to create a new advert form Hope all ok now ?

Lenny Warren Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Cheers @steve00, guess what, still didn't work... I must have made a typo as I copied the preset one and amended it, all working fine now. A lot of palaver for an advert, but want it to be right... I want the advert in 2 places, in the sidebar and in the footer. It works well, as the board seems to fit the images well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with anything .. just take your time ... read what it says and all should be fine. As mentioned if want ads for other areas as well then need to create a new 'form' for each area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I have the same ads on several locations on my site with noe problem. I would suggest change the Custom location to ADVERT - only.

What am referring to is not to set all those locations at same time You can just create one form and add that in different templates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
