Add text ads to story content area

[knuckle05]

Hi All,

I would like to add text based ads to the main story area of my site, as well as the other content areas. I suppose this would mean on the Published, Upcoming and Story pages.

I'm not using Google Adsense as my site is poker themed and therefore goes against the TOS of Google.

I'm using AdBrite but i suppose the concept is the same. I simply want to put my script so that it appears above the story link. I'd just like to know the correct location to insert my code.

Please see the link for a visual.

CheckRaise / Latest News

Also, a while back, I thought I saw a thread about inserting small ads between every 2 or 3 story links throughout the content area. I can't seem to find it now though. If anyone can link to that it would be much appreciated.

Thx!

To have them appear directly above the story title open link_summary.tpl

and find the following

<div class="top"> 
        <div class="toptitle" id="ls_thetitle-{$link_shakebox_index}">
            {if $use_title_as_link eq true}
                {if $url_short neq "http://" && $url_short neq "://"}
                    <a href="{$url}" {if $open_in_new_window eq true} target="_blank"{/if}>{$title_short}</a>
                {else}
                    <a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>
                {/if}
             {else}
                {if $pagename eq "story"}
                    <a href="{$url}">{$title_short}</a>
                {else} 
                  <a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>
                {/if}
            {/if}        
        </div>

Place your code in between, for example:

<div class="top">

<adbright code >

<div class="toptitle" id="ls_thetitle-{$link_shakebox_index}">

Thanks chuckroast, much appreciated.

did this solution work ?

[knuckle05]

It works, but actually, it displays an ad over EVERY story title. Could someone recommend a way to make it only appear at the top of the first story, and perhaps a suggestion in order to have it appear after only every 3 or 4 stories?

Thx
