I need to have several things 'tweaked' on my SD site.

Specifically I need...

1)... Google Adsense added to the article templates
2)...Google Adsense added to the header and footer of the 'print article' templates.
3)...navigation fixed in ADVANCED skin. (when I add subcategories, it messes up the navigation.)

Experienced coders ONLY. I need to have this done asap. Thanks

No need for payouts just yet. :)

You're using an unmodified advanced skin? I could probably get your adsense filled in pretty quick. Just a couple template edits I would presume. Did google provide you with a snip of code for putting adsense into your pages? I assume that'd be safe to post here. If so, paste in the text, and I'll try to get to it Thursday (late) night if nobody else does.

As far as the navigation, give us some sample categories and subcategories. It might be something fixable from the admin panel (particularly if it's the parent categories that are breaking). If the subcategories are not wide enough, I believe you can replace two instances of "160" in the categories.php file in the advanced folder with a larger number to get wider submenues.

pcoskat: I have coders available for work like this and reasonable prices. BUT for something this simple, someone around here can likely help you for free. If you are a licensed user, put in a support ticket at the main subdreamer site and the staff can surely help you.

I'm certainly willing to do the edits for free, just need the aforementioned info. Shouldn't even take very long. If I don't see a reply in the next hour or so, though, I'll probably go to bed, and therefore won't get to it until late Friday night.

If you use AIM, we can trade screen names over the Private Message feature on this board, assuming you haven't already hired somebody. :)

EDIT: Should add some specifics. You need the code added to the article template. I presume you want this displayed only when clicking on a news item to view it in its entirety, one at the top and one at the bottom? Do you need it for pages that include a summary of multiple news items?

The edits could be placed in news.php in the news plugin, or if you wanted them on every page of your site, you could have them done directly in the skin or as custom plugins.

The print template looks easy. You edit the printarticle.php file in the p2_news folder. I think you need to escape out of the php tags to put the code in, since the semicolons are going to screw with the echo command if you try putting it within the php code (correct me if I'm wrong please). I think it would look something like this:



?>
echo '<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "<I assume this is a unique number>";
google_ad_width = <width value>;
google_ad_height = <height value>;
google_ad_format = "<whatever format you want>";
google_color_border = "CCCCCC";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "000000";
google_color_url = "666666";
google_color_text = "333333";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
**src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script><?php


You&#39;d put one right after "<body onload=PrintPage()>&#39;;" and...well, I was going to say to put one before </body>, but it looks like the SD team never finished the code for the end of the page. So go all the way to the bottom, after the last line "?>" and paste in the above code sans the first and last lines. As long as you&#39;re in there, end the page with </body></html> to close out the tags properly.
