vb.org Archive - Adsense Reveune Sharing Hack

This hack will allow you to offer Google Adsense revenue sharing to your vbulletin board users. Revenue sharing is a great way to reward your board members for their loyalty and adds a feeling of ownership in the board and it's success.

Add a User Profile Field with these settings:

Profile Field Type: Single-Line Text Box
Title: (your choice)
Description: (your choice)
Field Editable By User: Yes
Private Field: Yes
Field Searchable On Memers List: No
Show On Members List: No
(I have only specified settings for the fields you will need to change from their defaults.)

In the php_include_start template, add this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
srand();

$random_number = rand(0, 1);

$ga_adsenseid = 'ENTER_YOUR_ADSENSE_ID_HERE';

if ($random_number == 1)

{

    if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread')

    {

        if (!empty($_REQUEST['t']))

        {

            $ga_threadid = $_REQUEST['t'];

        }

        else

        {

            $ga_threadid = $_REQUEST['threadid'];

        }

        $ga_thread = $DB_site->query_first("

            SELECT postuserid

            FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread

            WHERE threadid = $ga_threadid

        ");

        $ga_user = $DB_site->query_first("

            SELECT field7 AS adsenseid

            FROM userfield

            WHERE userid = $ga_thread[postuserid]

        ");

    }

    elseif (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showpost')

    {

        if (!empty($_REQUEST['p']))

        {

            $ga_postid = $_REQUEST['p'];

        }

        else

        {

            $ga_postid = $_REQUEST['postid'];

        }

        $ga_post = $DB_site->query_first("

            SELECT userid

            FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread

            WHERE postid = $ga_postid

        ");

        $ga_user = $DB_site->query_first("

            SELECT field7 AS adsenseid

            FROM userfield

            WHERE userid = $ga_post[userid]

        ");

    }

    if (!empty($ga_user['adsenseid']))

    {

        $ga_adsensecode = $gauser['adsenseid'];

    }

}

Then, where ever you have your AdSense display code, find the spot where you specify your AdSense ID and replace it with $ga_adsenseid . Also make sure in the above code that you enter YOUR AdSense ID in the spot above where it says "ENTER_YOUR_ADSENSE_ID_HERE".
