I'm going to buy IP board with a license in a few weeks. I have chatango on the right sidebar on my main site. Can I put Chatango on the right side bar on IP Board?

Thanks.

You should be able to create a hook or edit your skin to add custom third party scripts if you wish to.

So I could do this http://imageshack.us...7/10026175.png/ (A mock up I just made) easily?

I suppose what I'm asking is, is there a way to put the chatango code into an empty box on the right side bar? Like in this mock up I did http://imageshack.us...7/10026175.png/ I'm currently running the IP board demo to try and figure it out. If I can resolve this, I will definitely buy the license.

Yes. Personally, I would go the slightly longer route and write a hook to do this (you can download some free ones in the marketplace I'm sure to get an idea of the best way to do this), as it will be retained through upgrades. Alternatively you could edit the board index skin template to edit it, but you may need to reapply those edits during future upgrades.

Well I figured out a very easy way on how to do it. You can go to custom ads in the system setting, and simply place the Chatango code or anything you want and put choose the settings of where the ad goes, and you're good to go.

Would there be any problems with this? So far I haven't found any, but I'd like to be sure. I'll be buying IP board in slightly less than 2 weeks.

There are no issues with that method that I can think of. :)
