how do I do that? :)

Assuming you have created the module in the last step above, to disable the old,
vBa CMPS => Edit Modules => [Search Forums] Click Go next to Edit Module
Under Main Options
Active => Set to No
Click Save

Then go back, and make sure the other Google Search module is set to active.

Also, check your Quick Permissions Editor (and look under Modules) - Find your Google Search and make sure everyone you want to be able to view it can.

ah. ok. done! thanks again. you are very helpful

how anyone would not want this on their site is beyond me

Thanks :)
Btw, if you want me to look at your CMPS setup, PM me enough info to get me access to the CMPS in the admin and I'll look at it when I get a chance. I may sit down this week and totally rewrite the instructions.

actually something is wrong. when doing a search it comes up www.yoursite/forums/seachresults.php (etc etc)

did I not edit the php correctly?

That is an admincp option (last option). Your forum's path.
or
That is Module Wrapper Template Options (last step above)
Form Code Replace default code with ...
(you've got to put your site in there)

getting closer :) now I get

Not Found
The requested URL /asu_forum/searchresults.php was not found on this server.

but it is there!

I have about 7 queries done today, but my Google Adsense Search report shows $0.00.

Is everything alright with the way I setup the custom search? All were from different IPs.

Is it a problem if my searchresults.php is hosted in the root folder (www.mafia-mp.com) and my forum is hosted on /forum/ ? The search results show up properly.

It needs to be the full URL
http://www. ... /asu_forum/searchresults.php

I am not sure how long it takes to show up, but as long as you have your full partner-pub- number and there are no errors and the user does the full click-through by Google's standards, you will/should get what credits that are appropriate. I know I did a couple tests a while back and one showed up, and one didn't - it was for a couple pennies, but it still worked. If there are no errors, I would have to say that there is a small waiting period (days probably). But I've not really looked on that side of things. I do not get that much traffic, but I have still earned a few dollars in the past couple months.
