that worked great

hey guys. I am very proud of my fellow countrymen on this team and everyone else for their excellent job!

I have sucessfully implemented google ads; however, I was wondering about centering the ads. I am not very CSS savvy and was wondering how I can center my ads instead of having them left aligned?

Secondly, is there a way to have google ads looking like a forum category in the board index? It would be an additional row under the last forum subject under a category?

TIA

Hi guys!

dumb question: I couldn't find the file to change to add the code. Is it message.php? Where is that located?

Ok... they are in the default template folder... sorry guys!

Add code BEFORE

[code:1] // --------------------------------------------------------------
// Legend to the variables used
// --------------------------------------------------------------
// $msg_id = Message ID#[/code:1]

New release has that features. You don't need to edit your original files.

You can assign all joomla module in fireboard.
Go to your joomla admin template module positions.

Add
fb_msg_t - After All Message Top
fb_msg_1 - After First Message
fb_msg_2 - After second Message
fb_msg_b - After All Message Bottom

Than assign your joomla modules .

I will add more module positions later. If you have an idea for new module position(where you need? - with screen shots), please tell me.

I had asked earlier in my post whether we could insert a google ad in between the forum subjects in the main index. I tried to whip up something visually. HTH.

I would like help, if possible, to take this one step further. I know its possible to create a module that is "Public Only" using:

[code:1] if ( !$my->id ) {
mosLoadModules( 'guests_only_position', -2 );
}
?>[/code:1]

(above code from [url=http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/2/]HowToJoomla[/url])

But I think it would be neat if we could hide the ads modules from a specific Joomla or FireBoard user group. e.g. Members who have donated to the site. Just an idea.

i edited message.php and view.php as u wanted.

but i'm having some problem with the last step. can you please tell me exactly what i've to do? i'm using the rhuk_solarflare_ii template. do i have to go and edit the rhuk_solarflare_ii templates html? how should the code look like?

thank you so much for your help.

Jason;

The module positions are set from your Joomla! admin backend. Go to Site and template manager and there you should see the module positions add the four module position names there and you are done

That hack is very cool and thank you for that... I implemented it but _b and _t are only showing for two times not after all posts i think that is not about the module positions but the google adsense. anyone has any idea to fix it?
