This is a really quick template change, just an additional location for those of you looking to add google adsense to your board.

In your navbar template find (there are multiple instances of this code, use the first instance):
<if condition="$show['member']">
Above this add:

<td class="alt2">
Your adsense code
</td>


Thats it, your all done :)

Hope this helps someone out, I am far from a coder, however, wanted to atleast attempt to give back to the community :) If you happen to use, please CLICK INSTALL

I just used the Adsence after first post hack minues the <if> condition, and spacers, like so:

<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="left">Sponsored Links
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">
<adsense code here>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>

Link is in sig for an example. ;)

BTW Technically your mod edits the breadcrubm i believe. :p

<if condition="$show['member']"> is used several times in the navbar template. You must place your adsense before the first <if condition="$show['member']">

Mine looks like:
<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions</strong></div>
</if>
</td>

<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">

<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

[B]<if condition="$show['member']">

<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
<div class="smallfont">

Not to ask the obvious, however, do you have a google adsense account? As mentioned, you are looking for the first instance of <if condition="$show['member']">

Let me know :)

This is interesting as weve had our Google in the Nav bar for a ver long time now although hadnt thought of it to be a hack. Its was just a thought as that space always looked unused to me so one of the admins put it there. Of course it changes size based on screen resolution also...

You actually have it under your navbar and above it. Regardless, this is in no way some sort of special super secret hack, it was simply meant as another alternative to adsense placement. :)

I also use an add in the forumdisplay, but it hasn't been doing well.

I think this might be against TOS..."No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages." as this ad will show up on reply/login pages etc. which have no content.

I think a link unit might be ok though.

does anyone know if this is a TOS violation??

Any way to have it turn off in non-content pages?

Magle

Any way to have it turn off in non-content pages?

Yes, simply add this code before the hack:
<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'index')">

and this one after: </if>

Now it only shows up on the content pages - thus, no TOS violtation :)

Better to be safe than sorry with Google I say.

I have vbadvanced and vblinks, so I did

<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'newthread')">

<else />

before the code suggested

and
</if>

after. That way it shows on all the vbadvanced pages too. Are there other pages that google wouldn't approve of that I should be excluding?

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)">ADSENSE CODE HERE</if>

here's a little something to show the adsense for only the usergroups you want. Just change the "6" to the usergroups that you want to see it (separated by commas)

I found that by inserting the code before the second mention of <if condition="$show['member']"> and not the first, would make something appear, but not where this threads screenshot show it.

I'll leave it 'as is' for now at www.hairyjedi.com in the hope that someone can come to my aid and explain what's going wrong.

Thanks.

This works perfect in 3.6.4 in case anyone wanted to know.

02-21-2007, 12:46 AM

It does not look right in firefix with the guest message added.... Either a conditional should be used to only let logged in members see it or maybe a conditional to stop firefox from seeing it....

seangworld

02-21-2007, 08:30 AM

in the instructions, you stated to use the first instance, i (and prolly others) actually needed to use the SECOND instance. just in case someone gets stuck.

it might be cuz i have the double navbar.

RichieBoy67

02-24-2007, 12:41 PM

It works perfectly when members are logged in but when a guest views unfortunatly the ads throw off my welcome template... I think it kind of defeats the purpose for me to use a conditional so only members can see it...

Has anyone else had this problem?? Go to your site while not being logged in and see what the ads look like or go to my site www.talkandmore.net .. I have taken the ads out but you will see my guest message and know what I mean..

Any correction for this?

Thanks

Hi,
the Google AdSense in forumhome appear at the left. i need it at center.

How can i do it?

sinistergaming

05-23-2007, 08:43 PM

In the FORUMHOME template find this code: $navbar
Or Add It to The Very End Of Your NAVBAR Template

Add this below it:


<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('custom_block')">
<img id="collapseimg_custom_block" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_custom_block].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

Title goes here

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_custom_block" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_custom_block]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2">

Add your code here

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />


This also XHTML and CSS valid and will keep your homepage validated OK.

change this in the code: to "1" or "2" for colour you prefer for block background colour.

<td class="alt2">

If you don't want the block to be collasible, use this instead:


<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">

Title goes here

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">

Add your code here

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
