Look & Feel Parameters

The following parameters enable you to control the color scheme of the Infolinks in-text ads on each page of your website, as well as the content in their resulting ad bubbles. Colors are represented by RGB Hex codes. For example, to represent the color Red you would use ‘FF0000′, making sure the value is surrounded by apostrophes.

Visit Wikipedia for more information on mapping colors to their equivalent RGB Hex codes.

Infolinks Link Color: infolink_link_color

The infolink_link_color var defines the color of the text and double underline hyperlinks for all keywords or phrases that have been converted into Infolinks in-text Links on a web page. The default value is set to: infolink_link_color = ’009900′;

Infolinks Ad Title Color: infolink_title_color

The infolink_ad_title_color var defines the color of the title in the Infolinks in-text ad bubble. The default value is set to: infolink_title_color = ’252667′;

The infolink_ad_text_color var defines the color of the main text in the Infolinks in-text ad bubble. The default value is set to: infolink_text_color = ’000000′.

Infolinks Ad Link Color: infolink_ad_color

The infolink_ad_link_color var defines the color of the advertiser’s URL that appears in the Infolinks in-text ad bubble. The default value is set to: infolink_ad_text_color = ’24951E’;

Behavior Parameters

The following parameters enable Publishers to customize the behavior of the Infolinks in-text ads on each page of their website, including their content and display setting

Number of Infolinks Ads per Page: infolink_anow

The infolink_anow var defines the maximum number of words or phrases that may be converted into Infolinks in-text ads on a single page of a publisher website. The more text in the page the more in-text ads you can mark. For example, to limit the number of Infolinks ads to 5, the value is set to Infolink_anow = 5;

Publisher Content Category: infolink_cat

The infolink_cat var enables the publisher to specify a category that best describes the content of their website. While this parameter is optional, specifying the proper content category can significantly improve the relevancy of the Infolinks in-text ads on the webpage.

For example, to set your category to sports use: infolink_cat = ‘Sports’

Possible content categories include:

Double or Single Underline Hyperlinks for Infolinks Ads: infolinks_double_underline

The infolinks_double_underline var defines whether to use single or double underline hyperlinks for all keywords or phrases that have been converted into Infolinks in-text ads on a web page. Setting the parameter to “true” will cause double underline hyperlinks. Setting the parameter to “false” will cause single underline hyperlinks. The default value is set to: infolinks_double_underline = true;

Infolinks Ads Placement Control: <!–INFOLINKS_ON–> and <!–INFOLINKS_OFF–>

The <!—INFOLINKS_ON—> and <!—INFOLINKS_OFF—> placement tags enable the publisher to control which     areas of     the web page will display Infolinks in-text ads and which areas will not. Inserting an “On” comment tells the Infolinks algorithm to search that section of HTML normally for ad phrases. Inserting an “Off” comment tells the Infolinks algorithm to skip forward through the HTML to the next “On” comment or to the end of the code – whichever comes first.

The WordPress theme Elegant Grunge originally designed by Michael Tyson has lots of functionality and has a simple yet sophisticated look… but I felt the original version was using up a lot of screen area for no good reason and there were lot of scrolling needed to be done for the user. Along with many other areas the header was unnecessarily big and the content needed to be scrolled down to, I found this wide space used throughout the theme as a usability issue. So I customized the Elegant Grunge WordPress Theme and also added some new features in the Elegant Grunge Mod version. I plan to add some more functionality soon on this one to make it more customizable i.e. adding built in Google Analytics feature, font changing option and some other stuff. Feel free to suggest ideas….

Download Elegant Grunge Mod

Installation:

1. Download the Mod from above (or below if you want to use other versions).
2. Extract/Unzip it in your WordPress themes directory.
3. In your wordpress Admins section got to “Themes” and click on Activate by selecting “Elegant Grunge Mod".
4. That’s it!! You’re done.

Now the Mod will be your running theme. The Mod will be in its own folder and you DO NOT need to merge or Copy/Paste files or replace original files with the Modded one’s. The "Elegant Grunge Mod" itself is a fully functional WordPress theme and is ready to be used like any other WordPress Theme!!!
