How do I get an advert to show in the sidebar? If I add the code below </div> in sidebar.tpl the advert appears above the sidebar menu.
I have found I can add html to the description of the album and that will appear in the right place. But when adding javascript the code disappears when saved.
Thanks.

As for the sidebar, can't you just add your code to the bottom of sidebar.tpl in your theme?

Thanks very much it worked brilliantly.

As for the sidebar.tpl, adverts or text appear above the sidebar menu and can stretch across the entire page.

I'm not familiar with the ice theme, don't even have a copy laying around.
But it makes me think the sidebar content is being added from elsewhere after sidebar.tpl gets parsed.
Like sidebar.tpl just sets the initial structure and the rest is finished elsewhere.
Find where it is being included in theme.tpl or photo.tpl or album.tpl to look for clues.

Or you can write your ad to the sidebar after the DOM loads.
with jQuery it's amazingly easy:

$('#sidebar').append('<h3>My add html here</h3>');

Thanks again suprsidr. I will use your code if needed in the future as editing the GalleryUtilities.class has done the trick for now.
