Block Banned!

Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2004 7:23 pm

I tried to install an Adherus ad in a block, and was banned by Sentinel with the mega-popup! How can I run Adhewrus ads in a block without this happening?

Put adhearus in includes/my_header.php

The entire ad code? I want to put it in a block, so what format do I add to my includes file? Sorry for being stupid here, this part is new to me.

I did adhearus code in a block using the <JS_ format with no problems. I was able to also ad some other site sponsors in the same block. I'm runnning 6.5 with all the patches, don't know if that would make a difference or not.... RavensScripts

Yes. That's what I do. That way it is available on every page regardless as to whether the blocks show or not. But, if you have to have a block, then Deseroka's method is the way to do it.

I just made mine a left side block, then it is there no matter what, since I have those always show....

Right, but not everyone has them showing. Either way is perfectly acceptable and correct. Just depends on the running environment.

Using the Adhearus code, what would the <JS_ replace?

Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2004 7:38 pm

It would replace everything between the _JS_ tags.

in between the <>?

Deseroka gave me a modified script to run Adhearus in a block and it still bans me from the site. Ideas? I do want this in a block instead of the header. Bang Head

Let's be sure it's Sentinel. Comment out the Sentinel include statement in mainfile.php. Does it work now?

Commented out the Sentinel include, and no longer banning. the block doesnt work either though.

That means it's not Sentinel. Nuke won't accept it either. Sentinel was just reenforcing Nuke's logic. So, since both Deseroka and I have it working in 2 different methods and you don't want to use mine in the my_header, then I would have to surmise that you haven't quite got the block code set up right from Deseroka.

Thanks Raven, I'll keep trying. I had it going in the my_header format, but want the ad space to be less obtrusive.
