sign in as admin
open yoursite/index page...
click customize this page....
drug the html box to the sidebar (depend on your theme. Can be right sidebar)
put the ads code in the html box
See the result
Adesida, I believe that cit24 means that you can customize any page that way: open needed page ( for example needed group page)>>click "customize">>add Custom HTML code widget >>add you google code there.
Another solutions is to upload "Advertisement" plugin which will allow you to add adds to various places on your site ( usually top and button of all pages, and in some themes to the right or left sections).
Again, depending on your theme you might or might not have a sidebar ( which is visible on all site pages). Graphite+Sidebar theme has this kind of feature. If you add "Custom HTML code" widget to that sidebar it will be visible on all site pages.
Thanks for your response.I already did that as added the custom html and added my google ads code but I'm unable to add it forum,event etc top and bottom lines.
I think that it will require site html editting whatsoever before the codes can be added there but how to do this is the issue of ground now.
I will like to hear from you soon and others that know how to do this...
add the code on your themes general.html file. The file is located in ow_themes/your-chosen-theme/master-pages/general.html
"<div class="ow_header">
<div class="ow_canvas">
<div class="ow_page" style="position:relative;height:105px;">
{component class='BASE_CMP_Console'}
<div class="ow_logo">
<h2><a href="{$siteUrl}">{*$siteName*}</a></h2>
<div class="ow_tagline">{$siteTagline}</div>
</div>
{$main_menu}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="ow_page_container">
<div class="ow_canvas clearfix">
<div class="ow_page clearfix">
<h1 class="ow_stdmargin {$heading_icon_class}">{$heading}</h1>
<div class="ow_content">
{add_content key='base.add_page_top_content'}
{$content}
{add_content key='base.add_page_bottom_content'}
</div>
<div class="ow_sidebar">
{component class="BASE_CMP_Sidebar"}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="ow_footer">
<div class="ow_canvas">
<div class="ow_page clearfix">
{$bottom_menu}
<div class="ow_copyright">
{text key='base+copyright'}
</div>
<div style="float:right;padding-bottom: 20px;">
{$bottomPoweredByLink}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{decorator name='floatbox'}"
Where will I put the code?
Adesida, Roland's solution will work for you, but in this case ads will be one and the same on all site pages.
Ok as I want to use 728 banner which means that it will appear on all top pages as I already have 160 skyscrapper on right sidebar.
Ok and can you please give me the link to the "advertisement" plugin.
If you would like to add different ads on, for example on "Forum" page, you will need to do custom code modification in index.html file of the "Forum" plugin ( ow_plugins/forum/views/controllers). Same applies to other plugins.
Oxwall doesn't recommend doing any changes within the code. It is better to do this via software settings or plugins. For example, use "Advertisement" plugin.
