Adsense Revenue Sharing for 3.5.x and 3.6.x
Developer Last Online: Jul 2016
Overview
This hack will allow you to offer Google Adsense revenue sharing to your vBulletin board users. Basic idea generated by AlexanderT, who developed the hack for previous version. * Revenue is split between board administrator and thread starters. * User needs to enter their Adsense Publisher ID and Channel ID (optional) in the edit profile. * The percentage of probability is customizable by the administrator * Number of min. post in order to show the ads is customizable by administrator. * Works on 3.5.x and 3.6.x Demo http://www.spoofee.com/forums/ Background Thanks to webmastershome for creating this and rob30uk for making it easier by creating a plugin and I suppose myself for small tweak Instructions ( literally takes 5 minutes to install ) 1. Download zip file and extract ( 3 files : adsense_admin.php, adsense_revenue_sharing.xml, cpnav_adsensesharing.xml ) 2. Add Adsense Client ID and Channel ID to your user profile fields 1. Add the following following new user profile field in AdminCP: Type: Single-Line Text Box Title: Google AdSense Client ID Description: If you have an AdSense account, you can enter your client ID here. You then have a 50% chance that the AdSense ads displayed are credited to your account on threads you participate in. It should be in the form of <b>pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</b> Max length of allowed user input: 20 Display Size: 25 Field Required: No Field Editable by User: Yes Private Field: No Field Searchable on Members List: No Show on Members List: No 2. Add the following following new user profile field in AdminCP: Type: Single-Line Text Box Title: Google AdSense Channel ID Description: If you choose to enter your AdSense client ID, you can specify a channel ID as well.<br /><br />It would be a good idea to have a unique channel ID for this forum (then you can track stats specifically for the forum).<br /> Max length of allowed user input: 10 Display Size: 25 Field Required: No Field Editable by User: Yes Private Field: No Field Searchable on Members List: No Show on Members List: No 3. Go back to userfield manager and get the field# of the two new fields you created. (ex : field5, field6) 4. Open adsense_revenue_sharing.xml and change the field5 to whatever your adsense field# is and field6 to whatever your channel field# is 5. Add Adsense snippet in your style - Go to Admincp->Styles & Templates->Style Manager->Edit Templates->Post Bit (if you are using legacy style, choose to edit "Post Bit Legacy" Add the following to the bottom of your postbit. Code:
<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1"> <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid'])"> <if condition="$show['spacer']">$spacer_open<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px"></if> <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" bordercolor=white width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td class="alt1" style="padding:0px"> <div class="smallfont" align="center"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "$post[ad_client_id]"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_channel ="$post[ad_channel]"; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "000000"; google_color_url = "666666"; google_color_text = "333333"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div></td></tr></table> <if condition="$show['spacer']"></div>$spacer_close</if> </if> </if> 6. Import adsense_revenue_sharing.xml plugin 7. Upload cpnav_adsensesharing.xml to forums/includes/xml/ 8. Upload adsense_admin.php to forums/admincp/ 9. Configure - Go to admincp, now you will see "Adsense Share Settings" where you can configure how much revenue you want to share! 10. Click here to mark it as INSTALLED! Show Your Support

Still no luck with header but I moved onto another scenario I'd like to see work.
Has anyone tried to combine this revenue sharing hack with some of the other adsense hacks (like adsense in 2nd post or every x # of posts - or even putting an adsense ad as the 2nd post on every page, not just 2nd post of thread) Two problems I'm finding: The rev share 1st post on 1st page of thread seems to work fine but: 1) The "+ x posts" sets the client ID to null 2) The "1st post on each page (except the 1st post on first page of thread) only shows the primary site owner ID, never the thread starter's. Any ideas? Thanks! |

The problem is outside of postbit it will not pull up the google ids it just shows
"$post[ad_client_id]"; "$post[ad_channel]"; |

The only site I've seen that has done it successfully is digitalpoint.com. And he won't divulge his secrets.
