vB Google Adsense for Search plus Integration

[carrlos]

1. Updated step 1 the http part is where to upload the searchresults.php.The problem is that most people are confusing that with the the path. Maybe splitting Step 1 into two steps:

Step 1:
Edit chdir('/path/to/your/forums/'); in searchresults.php to reflect the location of the absolute path to your forum root:

Example: /home/content/yoursite/
or
Example: /home/content/yoursite/forums

Step 2:
Upload the searchresults.php to your forum root:

Example: http://www.yoursite.com/searchresults.php
or
Example: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/searchresults.php

2. Where is this not located (where should this be located)?
When you go to vB Google Search (Adsense) in the admin control panel, where it says Google Pub ID. The instructions there say it starts with pub- when it should say it starts with partner- as it does here.

3. I don't see a problem with zipping up everything
People will appreciate this! :up:

I don't see a problem with making those changes and number 2 is due to a Google change that originally was correct but the phrase and screenshot weren't updated to compensate for that change.

I don't think most people are having a problem with this, however, based on the PMs I've received and the support given in here - around 1 in 40 have had some issue.

I am working on a 3.8 version which will include updates for 3.7 (I just haven't released the updates yet) - this includes some changes mentioned above and other changes not mentioned.

Thanks davidw! Great mod btw! I wish all coders gave the support you give! :up:

[davidw]

I've edited the instructions and zipped everything up so as to try to clear everything up completely.

[carrlos]

Again, great mod!! It certainly has enhanced my site's search results. I hated seeing the white Google page come up like before installing this! :up:

[davidw]

Thanks!

I've installed this is very useful mod and now my question is, how do I make Google Search to go above Vbulletin Search in the drop down search box?
I am asking this because if the Google Search option is the last in the list, my users will keep using vbulletin's own search, overlooking this new search option.
Let me rephrase, basically, I want Google Search to be a first option (not the last) in a Vbulletin search box.

[davidw]

You have to manually edit the template to do that. Edit the navbar or header template (whichever you use) and find the location of the search box. Copy the contents of the template google_navadsearch in the appropriate location above the <tr> before the normal navbar search and then save that template. Remove the contents of google_navadsearch will remove the second (below) search box.

@davidw

First off, let me say that you have an awesome mod here and I thank you for sharing it with all of us.

I have a small problem with it however. I was able to successfully install it without any error messages. However, when I actually search for a term, I get no results every time.

What could be the problem?

I hope you don't mind me sending you some pictures through PM to show you how my adsense settings are set up.

-edit- I'm on 3.8.0. by the way.

From screenshots (above), however, I'll still check your PMs.

[davidw]

See if this one works any differently for you.

But, also, look into what I sent you in PM.

Installed.

Thanks

I've installed the mod and it works fine when searching in English, however when trying to search with different language (Arabic) it gives a blank frame.

Any Idea how to solve this?

Thanks.

Edit: found the answer here:

No problem - you beat me to it.
Don't forget to click Install :)

Anxiously awaiting the vb4 version. Or does this work in vb4? The only similar option available in vb4 right now requires a ton of manual edits and doesn't integrate, it replaces.
