I'm not sure if this website caters to beginners, but I really only know how to cut and paste.
The single ad listing code (single-ad_listing.php) is below. I'm wondering how to do what you have described above to insert it.
<?php get_header(); ?>
<script type='text/javascript'>
// <![CDATA[
/* setup the form validation */
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$('#mainform').validate({
errorClass: 'invalid'
});
});
// ]]>
</script>
<?php // if($_GET['reportpost'] == $post->ID) { app_report_post($post->ID); $reported = true;} ?>
