Show Google Adsense only on pages that guests can view

[6impy]

I've been trying to figure out how to do this on my own, but I thought I'd post it here to see if anyone has any ideas.

I've seen posts/hacks that explain how to not have Adsense appear when a guest can't view the thread, but I have Adsense appear on every page.

Is there any "easy" way to check if a guest has permission to view a page?

[6impy]

No one has any ideas?

Does it matter if it is included on pages that guests cannot view?
(Except that Goolge most likely will display PSAs)

Yes it's against their Terms of Service

Yah, and I'm thinking it may have adverse effects on the Adsense bot when it keeps getting the same content for a bunch of different URLs.

Was there an answer to this? I was hoping to create a subscription based system where if they were subscribed, no ads would be displayed so they can purchase subscription to have an ad-free forum. Anything of the sort come about yet?

You can use a conditional for subscription members such as:

PHP Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 9)">
&nbsp;
<else />
Ad Code Here
</if> 


Basically, you can stick that bit of coding anywhere you like and if the member is subscribed, it will show nothing, for non-subscribed members (i.e. guests, members, admins, ect) it will show the ads.

You can further it by using:

PHP Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 7) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 9)">
&nbsp;
<else />
Ad Code Here
</if> 


This should keep the ads away from Mods, Super Mods, Admins and the Subscribed group.

I have an additional question:

I've put my adsense code at the end of the navbar template and looks like this:

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(1))">
<div align="center">
===== adsense code here =====
</div>
<br />
</if> 


This way adsense is shown on every page for only guests.
Now I also have custom pages where I DO NOT want to show the adsense ads.
How can I change the IF condition to work like "if the current page is blabla.php, then do not show the adsense code" ?

Any help much appreciated!

You could prolly change the conditional to something like this:

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(1)) && THIS_SCRIPT != 'page_name'"> 


page_name would be what ever is defined for THIS_SCRIPT in the php file of the pages you don't want the ad to be shown on.

For more than one page you can keep adding && THIS_SCRIPT != 'page_name' to that conditional. Thats how I would do it, but maybe someone else has a better way.

I wrote a mod for showthread in 3.0 that kept them off of private forums. I haven't ported it up, but I need to. That in combination with the THIS_SCRIPT conditionals should do what you want.
