UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Island banner insertion problem

I am trying to put google ad words and other banner rotation script into a sidebar island on my UBB board and it is showing a syntax error. It was just up and there must be something I am not adding in that I should, to get it to show up. Can you help me?

You can start with:
http://www.ubbwiki.com/wiki/view/79/custom-islands.html

I go to protal layout and there is a link to the sidebar that I named resources. I click on the link and it says this

Body
This should contain the PHP code or HTML for the custom box. $body contains the actual content that should be printed in the custom box.

Warning: Invalid PHP code that has syntax errors can result in breaking the entire portal

then in the box I have this

?><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.1800banners.com/adserver/adserver3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var varsarray=[];
varsarray[0]='40165';
if(!token) {var token='0'} else {var token=token+1;}
var loadtype='0';
var adtype='3';
var background_color='#F0F0F0';
var border_color='#000000';
var text_color='#060606';
var text_rollcolor='#0033FF';
var domain_color='#9F9F9F';
varsarray['interhours']='';
varsarray['interpages']='';
adserver_initialize(token,loadtype,adtype,background_color,border_color,text_color,text_rollcolor,domain_color,varsarray);
</script>

?>
?>
?>

after I submit it a new question mark with greater than sign appears at the bottom but nothing shows up, either that or it shows a syntax error like this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /WWW/docs/forums/cache_builders/custom/portal_box_1.php on line 2

All completely incorrect.
Go back and read the wiki link I provided.

Re-insert the default code and start over.

The ?> should not be there.

Start by resetting your island to something like this...




Now place your code between the two EOFs


(Although, many javascripts need to go in the page header.)

Also if you read
http://www.ubbwiki.com/wiki/view/79/custom-islands.html
it will tell you the same thing.
Then get rid of the incorrect php tags.
Like Driv stated ?

cool that worked. I could not get the link to open up, but I copied and pasted what you put and it worked fine. THANKS!

I was wondering if you could look at my forums and tell me if there is any features that I am missing out on that would spruce it up

Tried to get on just now to have a look, but no response - is the site down?

same here...

Great guide Ruben !!
I'm messing around with this for the first time. I have a picture on photobucket that I'm using as my portal island picture. I actually got it to show up on my website. Now... I want members to be able to click on the picture and have them directed to a specific website. Right now it just links them to the photobucket website showing my picture. Whats the best way to link to a specified website?
What would you do Ruben?
