Adsense in ibProArcade Skin
 
Hello,

This is how I did a Google Adsense placement in the middle center of my ibProArcade main page.

The ad will display within the "Information about Tournaments in the Arcade" table.

This placement was specifically requested by an advertiser for my site.

To install, edit this file:

/arcade/skins/skin_Arcade.php

As of ibProArcade v2.6.6+ go to line 420 and add this code, but substitute in your own adsense code:

PHP Code:
<tr><td class="alt1">
<center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-4465038208149639";
/* Arcade Leaderboard */
google_ad_slot = "9688927513";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</center>
</td></tr> 

This works with vBulletin 3.6.x too.

You can view this placement on my site: Live Demo

Any questions, please let me know. Thanks!

Actually this is a pretty good idea. Although arcade pages don't have much of any content.

if it shows up on all pages, why not just edit the arcade template in the admincp

The arcade template will only let you put it under the navbar, which looks ugly if you already have an existing leaderboard in the navbar, or around the footer, which in my case is already a duplicate. Adding the adsense to the skin allows you to have a targetable ad for advertisers that only exists on the arcade page. It makes sense for my site, maybe others, maybe not everyone. If you take a look at my site you will see how it works for me. If it helps you too, then great! :)

The code at line 420 gets inserted after this block of code:

PHP Code:
        <div class="tborder">
        <table width='100%' border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4">
                        <tr>
                        <td align="center" width="100%" nowrap="nowrap" class="tcat">{$ibforums->lang['infobox_tourneytitle']}</td>
                        </tr> 
Hope that helps!

It can take up to 10 minutes for adsense code that has just been created to start displaying ads on your web site.

It's been 12 hours, if not more. It didn't show the placeholder where it normally shows "this page can not be displayed".

Are you using the the ibProArcade skin?

The modification has no effect on the v3arcade skin.

If you see no change it sounds like the file may not have been updated and saved properly.
