Banners not showing

Thanks for your reply, I tried:

Code:

function themeheader() {
global $showbanners = ads(0), $admin, $user, $banners, $sitename, $slogan, $cookie, $prefix, $db, $nukeurl, $anonymous;
if ($banners == 1) {
$numrows = $db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_banner WHERE type='0' AND active='1'"));

& I get a blank page.

No, that code must be on its seperate line.

ok, got it now!

Code:

function themeheader() {
global $admin, $user, $banners, $sitename, $slogan, $cookie, $prefix, $db, $nukeurl, $anonymous;
if ($banners == 1) {
$numrows = $db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_banner WHERE type='0' AND active='1'"));
/* Get a random banner if exist any. */
/* More efficient random stuff, thanks to Cristian Arroyo from http://www.planetalinux.com.ar */
$showbanners = ads(0);
if ($numrows>1) {

Thanks for your help!

ok, im really trying to grasp this, but im missing something.

using nuke 7.9 patched. theme is Aeolus.

i just want the ad/banners system to work.
to be able to show banners at the top, or in the sidebar, as it used in in my previous version before i upgraded (which was version 7.6)

i dont need it in any special places, just top or side

You'll need at the top of the themeheader function

Code:

echo ads(0);

Use

Code:

$showbanners = ads(0);

and then put the $showbanners where you want it to appear in your header.html

ok, my problem is kindaa wired !! My banner does not show up but it just shows the banner/image link. anyway i tried all these formula u guys mentioned here:
1) adding

Code:

include("banners.php");

inside the function themeheader () , i got a banner but its top of my site
2) adding

Code:

$showbanners = ads(0);

inside the function hemeheader (), i get page error

Here is my function themeheader ()

Code:

My nuke version is 7.7(manually updated), php 2.4.0

You will have to use

Code:

include("banners.php");

along with some output buffering trick to put it into the $showbanners variable
Then you can place the variable wherever you want in header.html

output buffering trick !! Do u mean like this?

Code:

ob_start();
include("banners.php");
$showbanners = "<a href=\"banners.php?op=click&bid=$bid\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$imageurl\" border=\"0\" alt='$alttext' title='$alttext'></a> ";
ob_flush();

i personally just put it in my html files for my theme

in theme.php i placed
$banner = ads(0);

then in the Header.html i decided to put it after the HTML for the logo, i.e. top right.

so place $banner = ads(0); in the theme.php

then for joker go into the footer.html
and whereever you want the ad in the footer put in

$banner

and your ad will display

as for putting it above the forum, if you only want it above the forum and nowhere else then go to

/modules/Forums/Template/**NAME OF TEMPLATE**

look for the forum head file, .tpl if i remember correctly and place
$banner = ads(0);
$banner

if im correct ( i didnt test)
this should display your ad ONLY above the forum when people are viewing the forum

ads(0) only works in phpNuke 7.8 and higher
