Google Adsense on top of full picture-attachments
 

Hi

I have been looking for a mod, which would change the behaviour of vB graphical attachment view.

When I click on a thumbnail I get a new tab/window opened with a direct header() php function. I don't like it - I would like to put there some advertisement. So instead of just picture I would have some html and then picture.

I have over 1.000.000 of attachments (jpegs and gifs), which are very popular and I have nothing but costs for yet another 10Mbps pipe to serve something like 5 TB of files monthly. If I think about Adsense revenue I could generate while giving these picures to the public...

Anyhow - do you have any clue where shall I start?

Has anybody had such idea already implemented?


Regards
Tom

bump :)

Yes, I too would like a mod that would allow Google ads as well! Anyone out there??? :)

Interesting - Subscribing to thread :)
Sounds like a novel idea.

Jacquii.

I had a brief look at this but it's not as easy as it sounds and the built-in functionality rather relies on there being no content other than the attachment. It's all a bit messy...

I would assume many forum owners can benefit greatly from such a mod. Perhaps if a few of us pooled together to pay a developer for such a project we could get it done? Any interest in that?

I am also mid-advanced coder and after investigating what would have to be done I decided to pay some really big brains ;) to get it done well.
I intend to share it with all of you after having the coder paid.

Wow, that's very generous of you zlos, did the coder just start the project? Look forward to the results! Thanks in advance! :)

Not yet. I've found so far nobody really pushing on making a product for this... :(

I am ready to pay for this!

This doesn't seem all that difficult, I'll take a look at it when I have some time. I can't imagine doing this as a product/plug-in though. Most likely it would require code modification.
