How to place ads in Gallery 2.x?

[John]

For this tutorial, we will be looking at "matrix template"

1. It is recommended that you created a local folder in your "templates" folder and upload the "local" folder to your ftp instead of overwriting the original template files. On your computer, these template files should be located in - "/themes/matrix/templates/"

When you are uploading, the "local" folder should go to -

/public_html/your_gallery_installation_folder/themes/matrix/templates/

2. Open album.tpl. For album.tpl, look for the following code -

<td style="width: 30%">
{g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
item=$theme.item
showDate=true
showSize=true
showOwner=$theme.params.showAlbumOwner
class="giInfo"}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

After, add the ad code

Profuse Host Ad Code - You can either pick 728x90 white or black background

3. Open photo.tpl and look for the following code -

<td style="width: 30%">
{g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
item=$theme.item
showDate=true
showOwner=$theme.params.showImageOwner
class="giInfo"}
{g->block type="core.PhotoSizes" class="giInfo"}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

After, add the Profuse Host Ad code

Profuse Host Ad Code - You can either pick 728x90 white or black background

4. Now open theme.tpl and look for the following code -

</body>
</html>

BEFORE, add the Profuse Host Footer Code -

<p align="center">
Profuse Host Footer Code Goes Here
</p>

5. Upload theme.tpl, album.tpl, photo.tpl to "local" folder. Local folder needs to be manually created in most cases.

You can try free html editor - http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor/

All you have to do is copy the source of the tpl file for your editor and open them up one by one in the html editor. In the visual editor look for the area where you want the ads to diplay and at that location put the ad code. Make sure you only paste the code on "code editor" page.

If you need help, please enable the template for your gallery and I'll try to write a tutorial for it.

Ok I have enabled the template but cannot get code to work? It's flash based. I have tried everything so maybe you could help me? I have tried what you told me in the first post of this but did not work well for this theme.
