Miscellaneous Hacks - Adsense Banners in Your Archive

I've updated this script to remove the quote problem many users were having. It is tested on vbulletin 3.6 and can be seen at http://eaforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/

Essentially, this product allows you to have adsense (or other) banners in your forum archives.

To install:
Import the product. Edit the plugin code to substitute your adsense code.

To upgrade:
Uninstall the old product. Import and edit the new product to use your code.

Note: There is no need to upgrade if you are not having problems or you don't need to put in new banner code. This just makes the initial edit easer.

Nooooob....sorry here.... :cross-eyed:

I imported the product.

When I go to the Plugins & Products >> Manage Products >> Edit Archive Adsense.... I don't see where I'm to add my adsense code....?

Please understand that I am a noob here with these plugins and products...

You go in the plugin manager and edit the two plugins.

Hi Amy, I've gone into the plugin manager and there is only one plugin for this "Archive Adsense".

I then select edit for this plugin....but I don't understand where I am to edit in my adsense data....? Under Add New Install/Uninstall Code >> Install Code??

Sorry, but I'm really lost.....

Also, you say I'm to edit the two plugins....there is only one plugin in your download here and that's what I have installed.

Yea like I said.....I'm really lost here. Sorry....

There is one product containing TWO plugins. Do not go to the product manager. Go to the plugin manager. look for two plugins with the word adsense in them. Click edit. You will see the code there. Take out the existing adsense code and put in the new code you wish to use.

Ah yup, definitely a newb here.... :hurt:

K, I went in and edted both codes and they look as such:

Product: "Archive Adsense"
Hook Location: "archive_complete"
Title: "Archive Bottom"
Execution Order: "5"
Plugin PHP Code:

$output.='
<div align="center" style="padding:4px; overflow: hidden;\">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-1087880827049389";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>
</td><td width="15%" valign="top">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-1087880827049389";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

';

Plugin Is Active: "Yes"

I cannot get my adsense script to run with the above.

Thanks Amy

I see the banners on your site, but your html adjustments are a wee bit out of whack.

Mmmmm....not sure if we're looking at the same site here.

I don't see adsense running at all....

[amykhar]

Yep. That's the one. It's got two banners about rss at the top and the content is scrunched over to the side in firefox.

[smoknz28]

Interesting....IE doesn't show any banners.

Do you know why this is?

Excellent thanks
