This is a minor port, I am working now to fully port everything over along with a premium version.

I use Google Adsense on my website and considering Google Adsense is not malicious, I feel no need for adblocking software of any kind.

Therefor I have created this system which will alert members that ads are used to support the server. Wait... What's that? You don't want to annoy a member with constant alerts? No worries! This system works off of cookies, so once the member views the alert, they won't be bothered by it anymore.

Installation
1.) Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forums root directory.
2.) Perform template edits
3.) Mark Installed. =]

Template Edits

Code:

In the navbar template find:

                        {vb:raw notices}

                </ol>

        </form>

</vb:if>

After add:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="abp/adblock_detector.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

if (document.getElementById("TestAdBlock") == undefined)

{

        document.write('<br /><div style="background-color: yellow; border-width: 2px; border-style: dashed; border-color: red;"><center><font color="red"><strong>Adblock Plus</strong> detected! Please help support Console Discussions, by disabling ad-blocking software.</font></center></div>');

}

</script>

FAQ
Q: Why is it not working?
A: Make sure you uploaded everything and installed the mod. Also make sure template edits are completed.

Q: How does this work?
A: I've used adblocking software against them. I've made a fake advertisement which is never displayed on the forums, but is within the coding. Since the soul purpose of adblocking software is to of course... block ads. It blocks this advertisement, in which the script checks to see if the advertisement loaded. If not, the alert is displayed.

I've never heard of that browser, I've tested it in all the known ones, what is it doing in SuperBird? Any screenshots?

I've already almost completed the Auto Templates by going through a hook. I'm going to try to put the final touches on the cookie script and see where we can go from there. Hopefully will release it shortly.

sorry i dont have screenshots i still did a fast test with IE8 and Superbird and the addon is not working with them(maybe is only me) but works fine with Opera and Firefox.
SuperBird is Chromium based.

Also 0.3.1 is now released! Cookies are added to remember if a users clicks the close button, and will not show the alert again until cookies are cleared. Coming soon is a redirect option, permissions, and more!

Looks great so far, well done. I will be sure to keep a close eye on this!

Just something I thought about, what does google think about these messages being displayed to not use adblock, because they have a section that someone can use to report a site for "encouraging users to click ads"?

While your default text doesn't exactly say that, what would happen if a user submitted your site to the adsense guidelines for that rule?

Installed and the navbar alert is working just great. How do I have the Red Box along the side as per screenshot and Demo?

I've already clarified with them, their response was they in no way endorse or support Adblock Plus, and as long as you aren't encouraging to click the advertisements, then they do not care.

They despise abp, remember a few months back they removed abp off Google Play and Chrome market place?
