Is there a way to place widgets near the top, like where the leaderboard ad would be, on the homepage and forum pages?

It gives you this option in widget management for the portal pages, but for the forum, it only gives you left/right column options.

I want to place all my google AdSense code into widgets and place the ads that way, as I'm more familar with using widgets. But I need to place ads top/bottom on the homepage/forum pages, and there's no option to do so with widgets.

Thanks

Put this in your CSS:

Code:


#left, #right {
 float: none;
 clear: both;
}

Thanks.

Not sure if its the right place, but the only place I know of to add CSS code is in the Color section. I pasted this code there, but it didn't change anything. Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?

Did you copy and paste the code from here, and did you remove the numbers: 1. , 2. , 3. , 4. , and 5.?

Yes and yes.

I already had code entered on lines 1-12 for my quote box colors.... so I skipped a line, then pasted this code on lines 14-17, accordingly, deleting the numbers/decimal points.

Anything I'm doing wrong?

Put this in the CSS then:

Code:


#right, #left, #container { float: none!important; width: 98%!important; }
#content-container div#content { margin-right: 0px!important; }

Still not working, only left/right columns available still

What do you mean still only left and right?
Yeah set up your widgets in either the left or right column and put that in the CSS and they will be under your main content not at the side.

ahh, I see what you mean now. I was expecting top/bottom columns to appear in the widget manager.

Ok, got it to work. However, I still wanted to be able to put widgets on the sides and the top, as well as the bottom. This only allows for them on the bottom.

Is there any way I can modify the code to allow for all sides, left/right/top/bottom?

Thanks for your help/

I thought I would bring this topic back to share this topic for the OP:

It will allow widgets at the top and sides. Very easy.
