Well im a total newbee. Still learning how to ftp and simple stuff like putting in a template.

I downloaded the graphics3 template and looking good.......my logo leaves a bit to be desired but my graphic skills are crap. They will improve soon.

My site is >removed<

Man....this stuff needs an instruction manual. In the template. i see the adsense part, it dosent change so its obviously cut and pasted in to show where it goes. How do i put real adsense in there? What area of the template?

And also the part where it says our friends? How do i change that to put my sites, or friends sites in there?

Sorry for the basic questions and any answers need to be in very BASIC, very basic, terminology.

Many thanks.........

When adding adsense code there are typically 3 places you can add it:
header.tpl, top_nav.tpl, footer.tpl
You may have to experiment a little with the position, but all you have to do is get the code provided by , and enclose it in literal tags like this:
{literal}
adsense code here
{/literal}

Experiment with placing it after a closing div tag ex. {/div}

The part im trying to change is where it has the fake adsense. I just cant work out what file it is, or what it is called.

Thanks.

The section you are looking for is in the file, side_bar_left and is this:

<div class="top">Advertisement</div>
<div class="content">
<img src="{$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT}/templates/{$smarty.const.USE_TEMPLATE}/images/160x600.gif" alt="" />
</div>

This area is not set up for Adsense but is easily solved:

You will have to set up an Adsense Zone for whatever size you want (width 160 x ??) and place it in place of the image code.

Your site looks great BTW!!

Good luck!

Your comments are appreciated, long way to go but it hopefully will develop even better.

Cheers.

Well if you need some help with that I will certainly help you but if you just delete the red area and place the Goog code you should be fine. If not, PM me.

If there is anything I can ever answer, post or PM me.

Good luck!

Thanks so much.

Not everyone wants to have Adsense so it is easier set up this way so that you can change to an image or whatever you want. I think it's cool anyways....ha ha

I am glad you are all worked out!

Peace!
