Hi Brent,

Sure - add the following 2 files to your /html/ folder, placing your advertising HTML where indicated....

user_header_after.php

<table width='100%'>
  <tr>
    <td valign='top'>

user_footer_before.php

    </td>
    <td valign='top'>
    <?php if (strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"products.php")!==FALSE): ?>
      <!-- insert your right column advertising HTML here -->
    <?php endif; ?>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.

Hi Brent,

Here's an html/user_footer_before.php with an IF statement for products.php, reviews.php and search.php...

    </td>
    <td valign='top'>
    <?php if
          (
          (strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"products.php")!==FALSE)
          ||
          (strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"reviews.php")!==FALSE)
          ||
          (strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"search.php")!==FALSE)
          ): ?>
      <!-- insert your right column advertising HTML here -->
    <?php endif; ?>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Merchant logos on search listings is possible, but bear in mind that search results are generated from a summary query so unless numMerchants is 1, you can't be sure which merchant has been selected by the database to be in the merchant field. However if numMerchants is 1 then it is safe to display the logo. Let's say you want to display the logo below the price; in html/searchresult.php look for the following code starting at line 29:

            <span class='nobr'><a href='<?php print $product["productHREF"]; ?>'><?php print translate("More Information"); ?></a></span>
          <?php endif; ?>

...and REPLACE with;

            <span class='nobr'><a href='<?php print $product["productHREF"]; ?>'><?php print translate("More Information"); ?></a></span>
            <?php print (file_exists("logos/".$product["merchant"])?"<br /><img src='".$config_baseHREF."logos/".$product["merchant"]."' border='0' />":""); ?>
          <?php endif; ?>

Cheers,
David.
