Adsense Revenue Sharing Hack 1.1 (0 queries version) · **Released**: 04-27-2005

Upgrade 1.1 notice:
The upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 is optional; it makes sure ads don't display in private messages. Thanks to venomx for the tip.

Hack Description:
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. Revenue is split between board administrator and thread starters. The percentage of probability is customizable by the administrator.

This hack is fundamentally the same like this hack; however, it adds some customization plus does not use any additional queries!

I wrote this hack a couple of months ago and didn't know there was any interest for it (you certainly don't want to spend money on something that doesn't take much time to code).

My time is *very* limited so I am not good at giving support. I hope the instruction included is self-explanatory. It is easy to expand the hack to your needs.

I have more than one under edit profile.

Go to your:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> ? ? -> Modify User Option Templates -> modifyoptions

In this template you will find several $customfields variables, one for each category in your options (the same categories as the ones for your profile fields). You need to enclose the appropriate $customfields variable with this conditional:

I go here and I do not understand what category? Is it edit profile? And where or what is it called in here?

Thanks!

I don't know what you were doing but nowhere do I find any such instruction posted for this hack.

Maybe a dumb question but:

How difficult will it be to modify this Hack to allow sharing between Admin, Thread Starter and Last Poster?

(And by the way, are we allowed to modify this code or will this be any kind of copyright infrigment?)

By the way, many thanks for this awesome hack, i haven't installed it yet, but, i am sure, as soon as i will have my answers, i'll give it a try.

Thumb up.

If you get it changed to split that way let me know please?

Though I want it so it splits between admin, thread starter, and a random person thats posted in the thread.

designBox · #66 05-18-2005, 08:41 AM

Sure i will man :-)

I have another question concerning the actual hack.

Does the thread starter see their own ads?

EDITED: BTW, clicked on INSTALL

Polo · #67 05-18-2005, 12:25 PM

designbox as of now, I dont think nobody knows what ads are being displayed (if yours, or another specific member) you go to be careful with that because if you click on your own ads you could get banned from Google's adsense program...

venomx · #68 05-18-2005, 02:11 PM

Are you sure it shows the first posters ad to himself?

AlexanderT · #69 05-18-2005, 05:07 PM

Yes, the first poster or the board owner's ads are shown, depending on the percentage you entered in the control panel. It is rather easy to disable the display of ones own ads with an additional check in showthread.php (at least that's what I think now). If it is highly demanded, I could work on adding this feature.

Was posted to me in this thread if you read through the posts here....I followed that but chose "options" instead of "edit Profile" in the instructions for the cat.

Basically, I took the advice from a couple peopes who replied to my post in this thread and pieced them together and figured it out. Then I posted to choose "options" instead of "edit profile" according to the tut posted to help direct me with my q.

I see so the question was more related to the modification posted over at vb.com. Were you able to figure out the problem?
