Yahoo Mod problems
Hello,

I am installing your Yahoo! mod & it is working for the most part, but I

can't seem to locate the strings in the template.cfg files that will
allow me to insert the ads, text & logo files.

Specifically on Main page:
1. Main logo at top center of page
2. Optional Small Banner Goes Here
3. Optional Text Can Go Here

On Secondary Pages
4. You Can Add An Advertisement Here!

Am I missing something or
is there another file to modify? I thought this script was supposed to
be all modified in one file?

BTW, the guy who wrote this mod is having his email address @ ceglobe is bounce. I haven't heard anything from his alternate address either & I see nothing in the discussions.

Here is my example template.cfg file:

First of all, questions regarding formal modifications and code hacks SHOULD be posted in the Links 2.0 Customization forum.


The variables you already mentioned are there.
