Can Ads Be Placed in Archive Pages?

[boxingscene]

I get tons of traffic to archived posts, is there a way that I can put ads on archived pages and if so, how can it be done?

[Andreas]

Yes. Edit index.php and place the Ad where you want it to appear.

index.php of the forum root or of the archives?

[Andreas]

In archives.

I've placed an AdSense-Leaderbord there (http://www.planet-liebe.de/vbb/archive/index.php). If you also want smth. like this you can use:

In global.php (in archives) FIND

PHP Code:

    {
        $extra = '<div class="pda"><a href="?pda=1">' . $vbphrase['pda'] . "</a></div>\n";
    } 


BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:

    $extra .= '<div style="text-align: center; margin: 10px"><!-- Place Ad Code here --></div>';

Hello,

I tried placing the adsense code in my forums archive (global.php) as indicated in the above message.

This is my forum - http://www.indusladies.com/forums/archive/index.php/

Please can you check and let me know why google ads are still not appearing in my archive page?

Thanks in advance,
Induslady

Probably because this is an old post, the way the archive works was completely changed in 3.5.4.

There is a mod to do what you want here ;

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your message.

I did follow the thread you had posted. Tried installing that mod, but displays a parse error which I have updated in that thread too.

If you could be of any more help to fix this issue, appreciate it.

You have probably made a mistake while editing the plugin for your adsense details, but as only an admin on you site can see it, it's impossible to say.
