vBulletin Blog - Adsense Banner below Blog Entry and above Comments

Hi

To continue my Adsense modification series I decided to make my blog placements public.

What this hack does:
This hack adds a standard 468x60px Adsense Banner below a Blog Entry and above the Comments.

Install:

In Template blog_show_entry search for:

<else />
                <a href="blog_subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=subscribe&amp;b=$bloginfo[blogid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/blog/newspaper_add.gif" border="0" class="inlineimg" alt="$vbphrase[subscribe_to_blog_entry]" /></a>
            </if>
        </if>
    </div>
</div>

and add below:

<br />
<!-- 468x60 Banner after Blog Entry -->
<div style="border: 2px dashed rgb(11, 25, 140); padding: 8px; background: rgb(245, 245, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; text-align: left; font-size: 80%;">
      <center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "YOUR PUB ID HERE";
google_alternate_color = "E5EAEB";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_color_border = "F5F5FF";
google_color_bg = "F5F5FF";
google_color_link = "22229c";
google_color_text = "22229c";
google_color_url = "22229c2";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
      </center>
</div>
<!-- 468x60 Banner after Blog Entry -->

Now you just need to customize the adsense code marked with:

<!-- 468x60 Banner after Blog Entry -->

replace "YOUR PUB ID HERE" with your pub-ID
and change the colors to fit your forum colors

If you have the "Template Modification System" (TMS) installed, I have attached a TMS XML for you. Remember to do the changes!

How do you do that? or could that be added to this mod too? (below the Featured Blog Entry and above the recent entries/comments) thanks

Great, thanks

This is great. I want to take it a step further as I do within my board, and allow the blooger to own the adsense ads. From another mod, in the postbit template I say:

script type="text/javascript"><!--
if('$post[field6]' == '')
{
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_channel = "";
}
else
{
google_ad_client = "$post[field6]";
google_ad_channel = "$post[field7]";
}
....blah, blah....

...where $post[field#] gets the users google_ad info from his profile, otherwise it uses mine.

Any idea what the variable name I would use in the blog_show_entry, instead of $post? Or, will this have to be a plugin?

Thanks
