Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher on same forum... How?

Hey. I noticed that on http://forums.digitalpoint.com/ - they're using both Adsense and YPN on the same pages - however, there's some type of rotation that changes the template so that ONLY one type is being used at a time. This keeps things legal by not having both types on the same page at the same time...

Does anyone here know how to accomplish that? I think it's a great idea to use both because both networks have different ads and it gives a forum more variety...

Thanks in advance...

I would have a random number generator in the global start template. Then, in conditionals, I would check the value of that number. If it's even, I would show all google ads. If it's odd, I would show yahoo. That way, you control which type is shown throughout the page.

For those of us a little more programming challenged (me :cool:) there's always phpAdsNew. I use it on my site, it's pretty easy to set up and works great.

I think it was fine, but not everyone wants to be hired.
Take a look at phpadsnew like I said, it's easy to use and will do exactly what you are looking for.

You should use phpAdsnew you can set that it uses the same ad on the same page it is displayed. EX

If Yahoo is in 1 of the spots then it will go in all of the spots.

I have attempted to do this. I added the code to my global.php file:

Code:

$randomads = rand(1,2); //Display Google(1) or Yahoo (2)

Then I added this to my templates:

Code:

<if condition="$randomads == 1">

//Show Google Ads

<else />

//Show Yahoo Ads

</if>

But, I still get both displayed in my forums: http://www.v6performance.net/forums/

It seems as if the ones in under each forum, are always defaulted to 2.

phpAdsNew2 (or now it's called OpenAds) is the best way to go. It's free and Very robust - though a bit complicated...

I am currently using the previous version. But I don't think that has options for Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher.
