Need help inserting Openads.org button ads

[goose +]

I set up a right hand column for Openads.org button ads. There is a bug with the software that won't let me use the javascript invocation code.

I was told I need to insert the Local Mode Tag into a PHP file which will deliver the output to the smarty template.

Anyone know how to put the code below into a php file to work with smarty?

<!--/* Openads Local Mode Tag v2.4.0 */-->
<?php
  // The MAX_PATH below should point to the base of your Openads installation
  define('MAX_PATH', '/home/public_html/advertising');
  if (@include_once(MAX_PATH . '/www/delivery/alocal.php')) {
    if (!isset($phpAds_context)) {
      $phpAds_context = array();
    }
    $phpAds_raw = view_local('', 2, 0, 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
  }
?>

I haven't tried this but I believe you can insert it directly into the template file with Smarty's php tag. For example:

{php}
// The MAX_PATH below should point to the base of your Openads installation
  define('MAX_PATH', '/home/public_html/advertising');
  if (@include_once(MAX_PATH . '/www/delivery/alocal.php')) {
    if (!isset($phpAds_context)) {
      $phpAds_context = array();
    }
    $phpAds_raw = view_local('', 2, 0, 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
  }
{/php}

That did the trick.

Thanks for your help again.
