**UPDATE**

v1.0.1

Just a quick shout to advise you all that we have just released the following new modules and also fixed a small bug within the modules section, whilst no major bugs were found we advise you to upgrade to the latest version via our new customer area!!

New Modules

• MyBB Post2Host Module
• Forced Ads

I am currently in the process of creating the docs for the new modules but here is a quick guide to the forced ads module;
Root access is required for this install, also mod_layout must be installed

1. Upload the forced_ads.php file to /modules
2. Enable it in the admin control panel
3. Edit the settings,
   • The full directory path to http.conf - this is filled in for cPanel servers so should be ok to leave as is.
   • The full directory path to the html file containing your header advert code - I advise that you enter a path in your public_html directory, ie. /home/user/public_html/header.html
   • The full directory path to the html file containing your footer advert code - As above
   • The version of Apache that we're running here - Change this to the version of apache you are using.
4. Create a cron to run php /path/to/FreeHostManager/modules/mod_layout.php cron

I got some stuff to add to that ...

The mod_layout module supports all known versions of apache so far.
Global directives to mod_layout should be inserted outside of a virtualhost tag in your configuration file for apache, the default should be fine but mod_layout has become quite configurable in recent versions you may want to take advantage of that for some reason ...
You should run the cron job every 5-10 minutes, you don't have to, but you wanna get ads displayed as quickly as possible - this is the best way to achieve that ...
Dont try and add the cronjob from inside of cPanel, use

crontab -e

from a root shell
mod_layout is known to have some issues with servers that use mod_gzip or enable php's gz compression output buffers, there's nothing we can do about this, simply disable gz compression on applications that pose a problem and do not install mod_gzip - DO NOT COMPLAIN TO US, please
enabling the mod_layout module will not force ads on every accout created, you can run post2host and forced ads side by side, no problem...
The mod_layout module will create a backup of apache's config everytime it changes it, obviously named in your config path

If I think of anything else, I'll post again on here or FHM support forums ...

[krakjoe]

If you have downloaded the forced ads module from the client area and the filename in the zip isn't mod_layout.php then please download it again or rename forced_ads.php to mod_layout.php - modules do not work with the incorrect filename ...

Version 1.0.2 released, please download new source from client area ...
