Miscellaneous Hacks - Adsense in ibProArcade Skin

Hello,

This is how I did a Google Adsense placement in the middle center of my ibProArcade main page.

The ad will display within the "Information about Tournaments in the Arcade" table.

This placement was specifically requested by an advertiser for my site.

To install, edit this file:

/arcade/skins/skin_Arcade.php

As of ibProArcade v2.6.6+ go to line 420 and add this code, but substitute in your own adsense code:

PHP Code:

<tr><td class="alt1">
<center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-4465038208149639";
/* Arcade Leaderboard */
google_ad_slot = "9688927513";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</center>
</td></tr> 


This works with vBulletin 3.6.x too.

You can view this placement on my site: Live Demo

Any questions, please let me know. Thanks!

The modification has no effect on the v3arcade skin.

If you see no change it sounds like the file may not have been updated and saved properly.

I'm using whatever skin that it was installed with. I haven't changed the skin, AFAIR.

EDIT: LOL - I was using the v3Arcade skin. Adsense is working now. I guess I forgot I changed it. Thanks for the tip! :up: :up:

Check your "arcade main settings" in the admincp for the skin that you are using.

thanks i add

I have to admit I think it looks nice but it didn't make me any money.

Looking back at the channel history seems I only made $0.02 from it. :erm:

If you do better with it though good for you, all the best!

Is there any way to use Openx in the Arcade? I tried to add the code xmlrpc routine near the top of the arcade.php but that didn't work.

Just added the code, now I will wait a few hours to see if it works (Im sure it will)

Im happy that I can finally get ads on that page

Thanks

UPDATE: started working after 5 minutes :up:
