UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? adding adverts into the customboxpal

how?
I know i cant use straight html, because that gives parse errors.
I'd like to use the customboxpal's to display a few adverts with my sidebar mod. ButI dont know how to code it!
Also, the menupal, the links dont work, how can i amend them? I looked at the code but cant figure it out.

well just enclose the html in a echo " <insert html here>"; and any quotes " in the html code just escape out by preceding them with a \

You can use HTML in a palbox, scroungr wrote up a great example of how to do it Here even though this example is used for javascript its the same prinicipal, just make sure there is a backslash before all special characters in the link and it will parse out properly.

LOL.. jinx scroungr, you owe me a coke

thanks guys!

$TempStorage .= echo"<a onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.ultimatetopsites.com/bin/topsite.cgi?ford&cat=kewl&ID=152');" href="javascript:void(0);">Click Here to Vote for MEG!</a>";


can you spot why this isnt working? i get a parse error.

Try this

echo "<a onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.ultimatetopsites.com/bin/topsite.cgi?ford&cat=kewl&ID=152');" href="javascript:void(0);">Click Here to Vote for MEG!</a>";

just to double check i've understood correctly

[]
// Check and see if we need update cache
if ((!$LastCacheTime) || (!$CustomBox2Data) || ($LastCacheTime < ($date - ($custombox2cache * 60)))) {
$TempStorage = "";// Leave this blank and add to the string all
// information that is to be displayed in the box

echo "<a onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.ultimatetopsites.com/bin/topsite.cgi?ford&cat=kewl&ID=152');" href="javascript:void(0);">Click Here to Vote for MEG!</a>";



";

/*

into the above string for storage to the cache string. The information will be echoed
out to the browser at the end of this script.
*/

[/]

it still doesnt work
got a parse error on a different line now, line 52 which is this
[]echo "$tbopen<tr><td align="left" class="tdheader">"; // Table Start
[/]

we've added in phpmyadsnew on our sidebox, it works very well for serving up and tracking banners, you should check it out.

here try this

echo "<a onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.ultimatetopsites.com/bin/topsite.cgi?ford&cat=kewl&ID=152','_blank');" href="javascript:void(0);">Click Here to Vote for MEG!</a>";

thats all one line so make sure to put it on one line.

Yeah, there's an extra

";

Several lines below - that shouldn't be there.

I also sent him a PM with the entire code that I used when I tested it in my palbox. Sorry, I should have posted that up right when I sent it.

no big deal heh

You can use html without any escaping! Just come out of php with ?> put your html in then go back to php with <?

Simple. That's the beauty of php!

true Fish Thats probably the most unconfusing for newbies also.

ahhh, i didnt realise i can come out of php, might play with that in the future.
I've got phpadsnew running on my server, that could be handy actually!

You can also escape out of the php this way instead

echo <<<template

HTML HERE

template;
