    SHOWTHREAD template

    Hey all,

    I've just received my Javascript tags from tribalfusion, for the EchoTopic in-text advertising. Now, I would like to pick up the words within the actual posts. Where about in the SHOWTHREAD template would I place my tags?

    Are you sure? I think that is just the 'postbit'.... the bit where your "Join Date" ect are.

    The postbit contains the user that is posting information as well as the posts on the page. It is basically like this:

    SHOWTHREAD
    header
    navabar
    ---postbit (post#1)
    ---postbit (post#2)
    ---postbit (post#3)
    ---postbit (post#4)
    footer

    Hmm.... This is was I'm thinking:

    Below:

    $template_hook[postbit_start]

    Add:
    Code:
    <!-- Begin Tribal Fusion Text Links -->	
    SCRIPT FOR ADS HERE
    <!-- _End_ Tribal Fusion Text Links -->
    Or shall I add it just before:

    $template_hook[postbit_end]

    ... so that it picks everything up. Correct?

    Well if you put it their without any conditions, it will show on every post on that page. Is that what you want? Or where do you want it exactly?

    Hi Michael,

    Yes, it is in-text advertising, so I want it to show on every post in a thread, so that "keywords" are picked out. So do I put it just before the postbit end hook ?

    Well like I said, where are you wanting it exactly. You can take a picture and put an arrow where you would like it. IF you use the hooks, then I think it will not look right at all, more then likely you are going to want it around this:

    HTML Code:
    <!-- message -->
            <div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
            <!-- / message -->

    Hmmm...

    It is in-text advertising, so it will need to be in the posts that members make..... so it can target the keywords and use them as ads.

    I am using ET as well. You can post the JS code in any area of the page. However there is a Div tag you need to cover the whole content area. Their app would automatically pick up the keywords and display the ads.

    That doesn't work. Also, it causes 60 validation errors: [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.techsupportteam.org/forum/malware-removal/2774-bombarded-popups.html - W3C Markup Validator

    I think at the top of 'postbit' may be best. Maybe not. Being honest, in the showthread template has been the best, as that picks up the words...
