Hello there. I use Gameportal skin with Cotonti, and I have account at Google AdSense. I would like to place an advert to my site. I got the code from Google, but I don't understand much about PHP or CSS. Could someone tell me how to place the vertical advert to the place I have highlighted with red and white in this picture:

If I remember correctly, menu slot {PHP.cfg.freetext9} is reserved for that.

so dump your google link in there and update..

Hmm that didn't work. I must add {PHP.cfg.freetext9} to .tpl files? I tried to add it to index.tpl earlier. I wanted to have three columns on home page. I edited gameportal.css so that it says

#sidebar { float: left; display: inline; width: 226px; }
#content { float: right; display: inline; width: 657px; }
#sidebar2 { float: right; display: inline; width: 120px; }

and then added code

<!-- SB2 -->
<div id="sidebar2">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0329715766745367";
/* 120x600, created 3/2/10 */
google_ad_slot = "1888461973";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>

<!-- / SB2 -->

to index.tpl, but somehow it doesn't let the three columns to be next to each other, but it forces one of them to be below the 2 others. Sorry I hope you understand what I mean.

#content { float: right; display: inline; width: 657px; }
#sidebar2 { float: right; display: inline; width: 120px; }

they both float right. not possible.
You need to give the content a fix place from the left.

Added 7 minutes later:

try: 
#content { position: absolute; left: 250px; display: inline; width: 657px; }

let me know if it works.
... can we help you ...

Thank you for replies. I've seen some cotonti or seditio pages with 3 columns... Maybe I'll learn how to do it some day.

Is it any possible to put the ad outside of the main area of the page? I mean right from the area that has search, recent additions new in forums and news.

Something like this?

http://cotonti.broens.be/index.php

add this in CSS: 
#sidebar2 { position: absolute; left: 920px; display: inline; width: 120px; }



Add 
<!--  SB2 -->
	<div id="sidebar2">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0329715766745367";
/* 120x600, created 3/2/10 */
google_ad_slot = "1888461973";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>

<!-- / SB2 -->

just before <div id="sidebar"> in index.tpl

-------------------------------
With this you only get it on the index.
If you want it on every page, do the following:

css:
#sidebar2 { position: absolute; top: 180px;left: 920px; display: inline; width: 120px; }

Add this
	  <!--  SB2 -->
	<div id="sidebar2">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0329715766745367";
/* 120x600, created 3/2/10 */
google_ad_slot = "1888461973";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>

<!-- / SB2 -->

After:
    <!-- / Top Navigation -->
    <div id="top-nav">
