About this hack:
Advanced Ads for famous Google adsense program (for the program, click here) are now very high-class show in all pages of your forum, many options to offer more than a way of advertising in all pages. this product contains group of main features:

• Google adsense Manager: system to add, edit and display adsense in your vbulletin forum
• adsense revenue share: share with admins, friends or users

Install/upgrade the product:
- upload file cpnav_ain_adsens.xml inside includes\xml (replace it if you are upgrading from 6.0)
- Import product-ain_adsens.xml file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product] (Allow overwrite if you are upgardeing)


How to use it:

1. after installation/upgrade go to your forum admin control panel (main page) and check out if your publisherid is empty or not. if it is, ads will not work until you update it. please visit ads setup options page to update it.
2. in ads setup options, click on the link in the second option. you will be redirected to ads units system to ad your ads. from there you can delete, update or preview your adsense codes. if you planning to use adsense share it's better to add custom adsense unit.
3. any ads already in your list, you can use it in any template. if your ad unit id is 5 and you want to display it in header template. you can go to header then add this code:
   PHP Code:

   $ain_adsense[5] 

   this in case you want to do it by yourself.
4. in case you want to display your ads by the avilable option, go to Display options then click on the link you want to edit options in it. for example, you want to mange your adsense ads in forum home page. after you enterd the page, you have to choose locations where you want to show your ads. then on each location you choosed there are place to put ad id you preferd to that location. finally save and enjoy
5. if you want to exclude users, usergroups, forums or ips you can do it from main options. you will need to take a look on options there.
6. adsense share is completely optional, if you want to enable sharing take a look on Adsense Share options and if you still have questions I will be here to help if possible.

I just want to say thanks and that this is an excellent mod you have created. Tons of options to customize.

Thanks!

[eric8476]

My posts are not showing up, database error or I get a start a new thread message?

[eric8476]

Problem solved, I was entering the name of the new user profile field instead of the field number.

[eric8476]

Do the members of the forum need to add the "pub" part of the adsense id for revenue sharing?

[Bobby Blaze]

quesion, i cannot get the usergroup permissions to work. I put the usergroups numbers to exclude and the ads show up anyways.

[opl]

I use it on 3.7.2 and 3.8.3 (testing mods) also. Works fine. I think it is best one .
And centring or left/right allign is configurable in options folks;]

Bobby are you sure you put it corectly?
I mean no | but , after number group and are you sure you put correct gid?

[eric8476]

how do I access the templates where the ads on the side go?

[Monocut]

On FORUMHOME "display ads above forums" the add-on display two ads.
I like only display one ad above. How could i chang it?

[geckoz]

I like version 5.0 better because I'm able to use custom html code to exactly position my google ads. That is something which I really don't like in v6.0 .... there is no way to customize positions of ads.

[sKippah]

Using vb 3.8.3 and just have empty Boxes. In - Ain - Advanced Google AdSense - Ads Setups - is all added correct.


Edit: My fault. But when u enter a forum the header is a bit "big" Take a look here http://test.brainlag.eu/forumdisplay.php?f=4&styleid=1

Also it does not show ad after fist post (activated)
and in there also the last two are just empty boxes

installed 5.2 and this works fine. Seems 6.0 is buggy. If u go deeper into your forum it does not show up some adsense
