Hi David,
I checked out WP-include (after getting no where with advertising manager and AdServe). WP-include looks promising but I need my ad to be automatically embedded in each post on my website.

WP-include provides the following code to be added in functions.php but this just allows me to manually insert the ad in each page or post.

**********************************************************
function include_file($atts) {
//check the input and override the default filepath NULL
//if filepath was specified
extract(shortcode_atts(array(‘filepath’ => ‘NULL’), $atts));
//check if the filepath was specified and if the file exists
if ($filepath!=’NULL’ && file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.$filepath)){
//turno on output buffering to capture script output
ob_start();
//include the specified file
include(TEMPLATEPATH.$filepath);
//assign the file output to $content variable and clean buffer
$content = ob_get_clean();
//return the $content
//return is important for the output to appear at the correct position
//in the content
return $content;
}
}
//register the Shortcode handler
add_shortcode(‘include’, ‘include_file’);

*******************************************************

I need to find a way to automatically embed the ad in every post. Any ideas or suggestions are very welcomed.

Thanks

Thanks Esmi. I’ll try that.

Hi Scott,

That’s JavaScript calling the program which is PHP(simple-banner-rotator). The code works fine in the header but I put it in a widget there. Perhaps Advertising Manager won’t work with the simple-banner code. I’d rather use a widget as I did for the header but I can’t get any information about where to add it in the post loop.
This is the Atahualpa post loop:

***********************************
<?php /* For SINGLE post pages if activated at ATO -> Next/Previous Navigation: */
bfa_next_previous_post_links(‘Top’); ?>

<?php /* Post Container starts here */

if ( function_exists(‘post_class’) ) { ?>
<div <?php if ( is_page() ) { post_class(‘post’); } else { post_class(“$odd_or_even”); } ?> id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>

<?php } else { ?>
<div class=”<?php echo ( is_page() ? ‘page ‘ : ” ) . $odd_or_even . ‘ post” id=”post-‘; the_ID(); ?>”>

<?php bfa_post_kicker(‘<div class=”post-kicker”>’,'</div>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_headline(‘<div class=”post-headline”>’,'</div>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_byline(‘<div class=”post-byline”>’,'</div>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_bodycopy(‘<div class=”post-bodycopy clearfix”>’,'</div>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_pagination(‘<p class=”post-pagination”>‘.__(‘Pages:’,’atahualpa’).’‘,'</p>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_footer(‘<div class=”post-footer”>’,'</div>’); ?>

</div><!– / Post –>

Someone on a different forum on this site recommended Advertising Manager rather than messing with the loop code.

Thanks for your help Michael. I tried the advertising manager plug-in and it keeps giving me a symtax error. I’m looking into it further.

Thanks. Yes I did look at that posting earlier. This is the Loop code in the Atahualpa theme:

**************************************************
<?php /* For SINGLE post pages if activated at ATO -> Next/Previous Navigation: */
bfa_next_previous_post_links(‘Top’); ?>

<?php /* Post Container starts here */

if ( function_exists(‘post_class’) ) { ?>
<div <?php if ( is_page() ) { post_class(‘post’); } else { post_class(“$odd_or_even”); } ?> id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>

<?php } else { ?>
<div class=”<?php echo ( is_page() ? ‘page ‘ : ” ) . $odd_or_even . ‘ post” id=”post-‘; the_ID(); ?>”>

<?php bfa_post_kicker(‘<div class=”post-kicker”>’,'</div>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_headline(‘<div class=”post-headline”>’,'</div>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_byline(‘<div class=”post-byline”>’,'</div>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_bodycopy(‘<div class=”post-bodycopy clearfix”>’,'</div>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_pagination(‘<p class=”post-pagination”>‘.__(‘Pages:’,’atahualpa’).’‘,'</p>’); ?>

<?php bfa_post_footer(‘<div class=”post-footer”>’,'</div>’); ?>

</div><!– / Post –>

*********************************************************
This is the code I want to add:

<?php bfa_widget_area(‘name=post_ad area&cells=1&align_1=4&after_widget=</div>’); ?>

But I don’t know where to add it so the ad views 1/3 down the screen in the post.

Thanks for your help,
Chloe
