Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

[Tom vR]

Hi,

I have registered already to add VodaHost banners on my site. I followed all the instructions, coping the code (provided) and paste it in a HTML box on the page. But when I publish the pages, there are no banners. I'v tried this a couple of time, but no suxxes. What I have done in the mean time is using the Advanced button and adding the html code there. It works, but I would like to see how the banners look like if I can just get them to work.

Could you please see what I'm doing wrong in the test page link below..

By the way, Im still busy with my main web pages, need to replace some of them.

It's not working. Do this if you really want the pics. Find the pics on vodahost.com, download them, and link the pics using your code.

I think they have discontinued some of the advertisements because if you go to your affiliate account and try to find the banner that you once had, I have a very good feeling you will not find it. You have to use what they currently have or do what I said above. Hope this helps.

Hi it doesn’t seem like you are copping all the affiliate code. Its seem like you are copping the affiliate id with the link to VH, but not the image part. See if you have all the code.
Should look some thing like this.

Chris, this has been happening to me lately too. The links were working for a while, but not anymore. My website used to have a vodahost ad on every single page, but now they would work. I went info my affiliate account and those banners weren't available anymore.

Hi, they seem to be working fine? You wasn’t thinking about a week or two back when we where all loosing everything because of some outside problem that wasn’t to do with VH. As most of us lost the images for quite a wile. It was at the same time we couldn’t get on the forum properly, for about a week.
The normal thing to do would be to just replace that image. It’s a bit silly if they had of removed them completely.

Re: Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

I still don't have them on my pages...the codes are still there, though so it's not my fault. The only one that works for me is the one on getting a free domain, seen on the page.

The only other one that works is the one where I downloaded the pic and linked it, as seen here. I figured they were having some kind of problem, but I didn't want to use just any pic on my site.

Hi CollectorsInfo and Amadee,

I log into the affiliate website and copy all the code from any of the examples and what I paste is what is available in the examples. It make sennse that the picures are missing, but where do we get them from?

And the banner footer? must its code also be pasted in an html box? or in the page html?

Thanks for the discussions.

Re: Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

Login to affiliates

• click on banners
• choose a group product.
• Click on display banners.
• copy & paste html code & place into html box.

Re: Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

Hi Chris,

This is exactly what I have done, but it still does not work.

I have also replied on someone else's post Editing a template for multiple pages in which Naveldesign's code is explained for the menu page. I have copied that code to my test page and also that does not want to work. I followed all the steps, so it is not finger problems this side.

Could you perhaps tell me what files, before publishing any files, should there be in the Public_html folder? Maybe I have deleted some files that I should not have.

Re: Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

In regards to the affiliates, I think, for now you should just download vodahost banner ads from the net and link to them with your affiliate code.

In reference to the single menu, if I'm not mistaken, and I stand corrected, your pages should have php extensions. I don't see that on your page.

Re: Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

Hi, not sure where your placing the code? But none of it is showing on your pages.
.php box just seems to be an image box
Banner box is another image box
Footer box is also an image box with a text box inside it.
How are you placing the code into the html box? (Step by step)

Re: Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

Hi Chris and AmaDee,

Thank you for your concerns and assistance on this one, I'm really struggling to get this right. I do everything according to the book, but without success.

AnaDee, my pages are php but I've just sent you the incorrect link, but be asured, the actual php page did not work. The correct link is below my answers.

Chris, yes I know this looks stupid, but I have placed a transparent shape with borders behind the actual html boxes to show you where I've put them. I've replaced them now with arrows pointing to the html boxes.

Here are my step-by-step actions:

A. For the Banners:
1. Log into Affiliate program.
2. Click Banners.
3. Choose a Product Group: VodaHost 468x60.
4. Click on Display Banners.
And here I think my problems start already. I do not see any banner images, only the code in the text boxes.
5. Copy the code (for our reference I've copied the code in the first text box. The code does'nt look right, there are no references to images).
6. In BV create an HTML box (top left button).
7. Double=click html box.
8. Paste the code and click OK.
9. Page properties is html (we are still busy with the banners), now save and publish the page.
10. I'ved cleared the IE Cache and typed the url.
11. No banners are displayed.

B. Naveldesign's Menu code:
1. I've already created my menu, using BV's text menu's (verticle layout).
2. Create new page.
3. Copy and paste the menu to the new page and position it top left corner.
4. Set properties as php.
5. Right click and select page html.
6. Paste this code into the Start of Page tab:
<? function menu() { ?>
5. Publish the page.
6. Paste this code into the End of Page tab:
<?
}
?>
7. I've saved and published this page named menu.
8. On my test page, I've created the html box and as explained above pasted the code given by Naveldesign in it.

<?php
include ("menu.php");
menu();
?>
9. Changed file extention to php, saved and published the page.
10. Still nothing the IE.

Summary. I'm concerned about the fact that I cannot see the banner images on the Affiliate program. Could this be a setting on Internet Explorer maybe?

I would really appreciate your further assistance on this.

Hi,

I fixed the Menu somehow, but I still have the Banner problems.

Re: Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

Hi, your code should be something like this below. Try putting the code below into an html box & preview to make sure it works on your machine.

<a href="http:// http://www.vodahost.com/partner/idevaffiliate.php?id=6670_0_1_42"
><img src=http://www.vodahost.com/partner/banners/q3.gif

The affiliate’s area should look like this.






If it isn’t on your machine, I can only assume they maybe something amiss at your end or possibly cache wants clearing, Not sure if java has anything to do with this type of thing.


Still not getting a .php page/munu come up on your test area. But the page is still set as an html & not php.

Re: Adding VodaHost banners on the pages

Thanks for the feedback Chris. I will try your code. The Affiliate screens does not look like that at all. It is the same screen. but not banner graphics.

My test page is php, just refresh your browser and see if it comes right.

As far as the menu is concerned, the last two items does not change when hovering the mouse over it.

thanks again. I will let you know if the code works. I must just go out for a while.
