Hi, I want to add a google ad on wfdownloads visit.php the page that says "Your download should start in 3 seconds...please wait. If your download does not start, Click here!. " I have found the code that produces the above text:

echo "
  <h4><img src='" . XOOPS_URL . "/modules/wfdownloads/images/icon/downloads.gif' align='middle' alt='' /> " . _MD_WFD_DOWNINPROGRESS . "</h4>n
  <div>" . _MD_WFD_DOWNSTARTINSEC . "</div><br />n
  <div>" . _MD_WFD_DOWNNOTSTART . "n
  <a href='$url' target='_blank'>" . _MD_WFD_CLICKHERE . "</a>.n
  </div>n";


Can i simply paste the google ad code underneath this code or do i have to do anything special because its a php file?

Thanks for your help

google ads is a script and you can add it anywhere.

also in visit.php call it with echo

for example at the bottom of echo:

echo "
  <h4><img src='" . XOOPS_URL . "/modules/wfdownloads/images/icon/downloads.gif' align='middle' alt='' /> " . _MD_WFD_DOWNINPROGRESS . "</h4>n
  <div>" . _MD_WFD_DOWNSTARTINSEC . "</div><br />n
  <div>" . _MD_WFD_DOWNNOTSTART . "n
  <a href='$url' target='_blank'>" . _MD_WFD_CLICKHERE . "</a>.n
  </div>n
  <script type='text/javascript'>
google_ad_client = 'pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxx';
google_alternate_color = '000000';
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = '468x60_as';
google_ad_type = 'text';
google_ad_channel ='';
google_color_border = 'D0BC8A';
google_color_bg = '000000';
google_color_link = 'FF6600';
google_color_text = '000000';
google_color_url = '993300';
</script><script type='text/javascript' src='http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js'>
</script>";

yep you should be able to.. use the echo command in php tho as irmtfan mentioned.

but note. you only ever see that screen when your downloads are using a remote url..

if you upload the files to your server using the browse function on the submit form, you will never see that screen when you click to download it..

I have encountered a problem, I added the code like irmtfan said but I get:
Quote:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in ****\html\modules\wfdownloads\visit.php on line 121


Line 121 is:Quote:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--


I took out the code and just put in plain text and the plain text shows up fine, not sure whats going wrong and im not sure where ',' or ';' should be within line 121, any ideas?

Thanks.

OK I got this one fixed, woo hoo,

after a quick search on google I realsied i was getting the T_STRING error because the original echo statement was opened with " and I had to escape out any " in the ad code with /" I tried tha however and i couldnt get it to work..so, after the original echo Quote:
/n";


I opened a new echo with Quote:
echo '
using ' instead of " i pasted the google code into this new echo and it all works fine.

Or instead you can change all " to ' in "google ads code" like i do!

Quote:

So as m0nty mentioned why not add the code to templates like "wfdownloads_singlefile.html" that i think too much better.
