Ok, i might have a few questions to ask so i made a broad topic for it. Its all about modding on my forum. I have decided to go for the giant leap and try it out myself. Im suprised of my skill allready even though it may be nothing compared to real coders.

Anyway, im a little stuck on one bit, this is one section of 3, but the other 2 i know i have done correct, its just this part. You see where it says (In Function: do_output), what does that mean? what do i do? because the way i did it, was just added the code as it said below the code it said to find.

Any ideas?

Open Up: sources/classes/class_display.php
Find: (In Function: do_output)

PHP Code:

$this->ipsclass->skin['_wrapper'] = str_replace( "<% CHARSET %>"        , $this->ipsclass->vars['gb_char_set'], $this->ipsclass->skin['_wrapper']); 


Add Below:

PHP Code:

//-----------------------------------------
        // D21-Affiliates
        //-----------------------------------------

        require_once(ROOT_PATH.'sources/action_public/D2mods/Affiliates/d21_affiliates.php');
        $d21_affs           =  new d21_affiliates;
        $d21_affs->ipsclass =& $this->ipsclass;
        $d21_affs->display_random(); 


Save & Close: sources/classes/class_dispay.php

Oh and if you would like me to attach the php file to see if you want ago, just let me know.

All you are meant to do is add that bit code below the line you had to find, did you make sure that you didn't edit anything else in that file by mistake?

Or are you certain that you uploaded the edited file? If you post your class_display.php I'll take a look see if I can spot any errors.

Harley, the way these things are set up seem too complicated at first. They did to me. I had to figure this out on my own, but Magnetism is correct.

When it says "Find this" and then shows code, it means you find that exact code in the template they specify.

Then, the next part will say one of 3 things: "Add below" "add above" & "Replace with". What they mean is paste the 2nd code either ABOVE the first code you just found, BELOW the code you found, or REPLACE the code you "found." Do you get it now?

If i were to say:

Find

<if x=y>Z</if> 

Add above

<!-- If $name = "VIP" --> 

Add below

<!-- End Block --> 

All this means is that that part of the code should be:

<!-- If $name = "VIP" -->
<if x=y>Z</if>
<!-- End Block -->

Thanks Dave, appreciate the help. I would add rep, but i have allready earned rep from me today.

I have successfully installed the mod!
The code above was missplaced and i forgot to run the upload the d21_affs_install.php file and then run it my broswer. That explains why i got that error too.
Ah well, im still learning how to mod, and you learn from your mistakes... (and adminfusion!)

thanks everyone to who is helping me!

Another question:I have successfully installed the banner ad rotator mod, now where i want it is the problem. Its now currently sitting under the <% BOARD HEADER %> tags.
I was wondering, if there was a way to get it to appear aligned right on the logo strip?

I have an image for the logo strip, i was just hoping if there is a way to place this ad rotator above it. It would neat, Can anybody help?

[RedMatrix]

have you tried putting that code into the Image box? I don't know what IPB 2 shows, but there should be an IMAGES section in your ACP. For the logo, instead of just putting a path to your logo, put a script there, too? That's where I would start tweaking.

If that didn't work out, I would try putting it above the <% Board header %> tag, inside a division taht is aligned how you want it.

<div style="float:right"></div>

Or similar. (align:right)

Im getting a good friend to check it out for me, I'll see if he can do it.
