Recent Ads on Homepage

Is it possible to put my recent afs table on the html homepage of my site, keeping the same style?

You would have to write some hack for this. We have a BLOCK to show on vbulletin's forum page that could be retro fitted to other php pages.

You can not put php within an HTML file unless your server has been setup to allow this to parse php in html files. Usually a phtml file or php file will allow php to be parsed. Just my experience.

What if I made an inline frame showing a php page. How would I go about making a php page with just this recent ads block?

You could use our inc_ads.php file as a template but this would require you to write your own block to match your site and see if it works.

To my knowledge PHP code will not parse in a regular html file unless your server is setup to allow that.

I guess you did not understand my post number 6? I am simply here to support our code as it is written. We do offer many options within the program itself and how it displays. This gentleman is trying to show stuff on an html page using a block we wrote for vbulletin and how to code things falls outside product support.

There is a link to the mod section.

Yep your using an index PHP file and this is very easy to place the existing Photopost block on nice job

Does anyone know how to arrange recent ads on a php file vertically? I'm looking for a setup on my homepage that is similar to the one on campustrade.com

Set the rows and columns within the inc_ads.php file.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

sk24iam · January 5th, 2007, 11:34 PM

so i change 4 to 1?

Chuck S · January 6th, 2007, 08:12 AM

Yes that should do it

sk24iam · January 10th, 2007, 04:43 PM

I changed them to 1 and they don't display vertically.

// Number of photos to display
$num_display = 1;

// Number of columns (1 for vertical)
$columns = 1;

Chuck S · January 10th, 2007, 05:02 PM

You need to display more than one ad to see it display vertical

sk24iam · January 10th, 2007, 05:42 PM

i changed num_display to a higher numbere, and still it didn't work. Maybe it would just be easier to put the recent adds block from http://www.madisonxchange.com/classi...at.php?cat=all
on my homepage... Can this be done?
