Put Adsense Banners in Your Archive

UPDATE: THIS PRODUCT NOW ONLY WORKS WITH VERSIONS 3.5.4 AND 3.6 AND UP. I WILL NOT RE-RELEASE THE OLDER VERSION.


This product is a simple one that will get you started in adding Google adsense banners to the top and bottom of your archive pages:

Demo here: http://www.eaforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/

To install: Import the product. Change the two plugins to use the adsense code for your site (instead of mine - unless you are feeling generous) and to arrange its positioning as desired.

To upgrade: Uninstall the old product. Install the new one.

Hi UK Jimbo,

I tried the attached version. But I receive the below error...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/induslad/public_html/forums/archive/index.php(254) : eval()'d code on line 18

Please could you help.

Thanks,

Sounds like you made a mistake when modifying the adsense code to add your publisher id, colors, etc. Uninstall, re-install, and look carefully at how the code is arranaged. (Using \ to escape ", etc)

Hello ConqSoft,

Thank you for your reply message.

I unistalled, modified the xml product carefully and re-uploaded. It works fine now.

Regards,

which gives me the errors as seen here: http://www.clantsu.org/forums/archive/index.php

what'd I do wrong?

You missed a bunch of quotes. EVERY internal quote must have a \ in front of it.

OR change the external quotes to single quotes.

The internal ones are the ones that are in the google code itself. The external ones are the ones in the first and last lines of the plugin code.

I am leaving the mod with the escaped quotes version because many of us use alternative ads in addition too google and the other ad code uses single quotes.

$output.="

(to)

$output.='


(and)

";

(to)

';

[Aunt Clara]

I followed the instructions, read the whole thread, am using version 3.5.4, and only changed the URLs and AdSense customer code and I am still getting an error message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/domicook/public_html/forums/archive/index.php(255) : eval()'d code on line 1

Please somebody help me.
