Hello; I am wondering if there is a way to add advertising to my gallery. i don't want add sense. I want to post my own direct advertising. and It would be great if it could rotate each time someone clicks another page in my gallery. thanks, Maxwell Ivey |

Just add your code to the location on page.html.php of the theme you are using.
The code block module might make it a bit easier for you.

thanks dave; the code block module is exactly what i was needing. I'm not sure about installing it, editing php makes me nervous; but its something that has to be done. I can only make so much off of equipment sales. Need to be able to generate the extra income from ads. by the way since i installed gallery menalto my website traffic is off the charts. in less than two months i've gone from about 15,000 page loads a month up to over 30,000 last month and on pace for almost 60,000 this month. thanks again, Maxwell Ivey

Be sure to back up before you get started.
Having said that, you shouldn't need to edit the php to install this module. You install using the standard module process and just type in the html that you need. (It allows for some php "stuff," but that's under "Advanced usage."

hello; what i was referring to is the script i use or that is have been using is php and would require using the advanced faetures. If you know of an html based option for randemly displaying ad banners, then i'd love to hear about it. also, i am a blind computer user. could you make any suggestion as to how big to make the code blocks so they don't take away too much from the gallery. after all the afiliate and ad revenue would be secondary to the main purpose of the site helping people sell amusement, concessions, or confections equipment. thanks so much and take care, max Maxwell Ivey

post the bit of code that you want and I'm sure we can help you out. You will have to tell us the theme you are using and where you want this banner to show up.

Hi dave; thanks for the kind reply. i am using ricochet but i didn't choose it. i just went with what was installed. my best friend who reviews things like this for me said the gallery looks great; so i'll probably stay with this theme. as for code, I'm not really sure. I know that the photo editor i use will only go down to 320 by 240 so that is what i made my ads in the past. I'm guessing the code block would have to be large enough to also allow for some text. and I'd like it to change ads each time they click on a new album or photo. i don't need it weighted by location or views. and the simpler it can be to install and maintain the better. any suggestions are appreciated. Take care, max Maxwell Ivey

That is the codename of the version. To get the theme name you need to go to:
Admin -> Appearance -> Theme choice and the default "Gallery theme" would be 'wind'.
Where do you want these 320 by 240 adverts? in the sidebar?
Got your code you want to use? Can you post it here as a txt attachment.

Hi I am in need of a little help.
I'm trying to get an affiliate ad up on my site, my homepage is joomla 1.5 with a link through to
to gallery, affiliate's use a .html page to verify your site by uploading it and it can't be found,
I either get a 404 or just page can't be found. Is their a conflict between joomla and gallery 3 that prevents this?
Or am I just being dense and missing something very simple.....
thank you for helping. My site is http://www.yorkshirephotos.com/ and my photo gallery is http://www.yorkshirephotos.com/gallery3/index.php/

Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Joomla/Gallery integration, per se--unless I've totally misunderstood.
Not sure what this means. If you just need to upload the file, do that through an ftp client.
Your entire site is likely treated singularly (unless you introduce a subdomain); if, however, you specifically need the file in the Gallery directory, you will have to create a custom page for this. I think that you can add the appropriate html within a static page created by the pages module.
