In the plug-in code I have also added a check to make sure adsense adverts are never served to members with their own publisher-id (to prevent them clicking their own ads and violating google's t&c)

You must also carry out the instructions as indicated in the hack download, but just import this plugin (NOT product) in place of the bit invloving hacking apart showthread.php
Make sure you EDIT the plug-in to change the profile field numbers to the ones you are using.


webmastershome: Please feel free to incorporate this into your hack/zip

Hey Man thanks your plugin helped me not to edit any Files.

I had this working since I install it, but I didn't noticed that when I upgraded the forum, the script stopped passing my ID's, so for 1 month I got no $.
Now I installed the plugin version, from rob30UK, and it's working.

ok I installed this mod, it is decent, but it has a ton of silly errors. The attachment has the corrected adsense_admin.php file for you.

Furthermore, if you place the code given in the readme file, your advertisement will not be shown to registered members. If you would like it to be shown to your members as well, place this code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
<if condition="$show['spacer']">
$spacer_open
<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">
</if>

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" $scrolltothis style="font-weight:normal">
Revenue Sharing Ads (
<a href="./showthread.php?p=POSTID">?</a>):</td>
</tr>
<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 = "F6F6F6";
google_color_bg = "F6F6F6";
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>

I have installed this mod and you can see it in effect on my forums:

P.S.
I've also uploaded showthread.php which is running on vB 3.6.0

Your welcome

Ok I don't think this mod works, it ALWAYS shows the default publisher ID...

Desperate Help! I installed it fine with the plugin. However, when I go to admincp and enable the hack by pressing update, I receive a page not found. Somehow the admincp is not working correctly. Can anyone help me out? I am running 3.6.

Thank you

[webmastershome]

Dear Friend,

I have not yet tested with 3.6.

may be update it very soon.

[soletrader]

Ok it seems to be working with the new adsense_admin.php attachement. I want to ask you a question.

The thread starter is the only one who gets credit for this? Do members who post also have the ability for their ads to show? Thanks

[soletrader]

Hello,

I would really love to get this hack working on my site. Everything seems to be fine except the fact that the only adsense that appears seems to be the default code (mine). Can anyone advise me on any tweeks on what I should do so the ads rotate?

Thank you

[webmastershome]

Hi there,

I have not tested this code in 3.6.

You can check this error on 3.6, simply check the user adsense code is getting from database or not

if user (who start the post has not filled the adsense code) then code use the default
