Forum Display Enhancements - Block AdBlock Plus (Kaos)

Block AdBlock Plus by Kaos

What is it?
This is a small mod that shows a MessageBox to all persons who use AdBlock Plus and block your advertising.

Install

1)
Upload the content (antiadblock.js) of compressed file (antiadblock.zip) in the main folder of your forum.

2)
Put this code at the bottom in Acp-> Styles & Templates-> Style Manager-> (your style)-> Common Templates-> headinclude:

<script type="text/javascript" src="antiadblock.js"></script>

3)
This is the code that you must put in Acp-> Styles & Templates-> Style Manager-> (your style)-> Common Templates-> footer:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
	function DisableAdBlock() {
		if ($('.AdSense').height() == 0)
			alert("Please Disable AdBlock Plus");
	}
	$(DisableAdBlock);
</script>

Before this:

<div id="footer_copyright" class="shade footer_copyright">

You can modify to your liking the phrase "Please Disable AdBlock Plus".


4)
This is the code that you must put in Acp-> Advertising-> Manage Ads-> (for all your banners)

<div class="AdSense">
<!-- Advert code goes here -->
</div>

Tips:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You can change this part of code as you prefer, it is javascript:

alert("Please Disable AdBlock Plus");

I suggest to redirect the user with AdBlock activated to another page immediately with this code:

location.href="usingadblock.html";

At the moment I can not do it as a product in the future but probably release it as such.

I would like to see this with an option added so that they only get nagged a few times a day instead of everytime a page loads.

I don't want to scare my users away but I would like to coax them into becoming a paying member to avoid all the ads.

I never thought a that thing

You're not talking about a person, you are talking about at thing. Refer to it as such.

lol, thx for the correction, thread fixed.

[final kaoss]

Think you can modify it a bit more? To where people using adblock plus can't see links and get informed that it's because they're using the adblock?

[Kaosvf]

You can try to follow the Tip, however you can modify the code as you like because this is javascript

[scottct1]

I would like to have this work so they only see the nag once per visit. (Or maybe have it only pop up on the main forums.php page...)

Any ideas on how to do that?

You can ONLY make that happen with two ways.

Either you need to track the user via cookie or user account.

The user account your guaranteed to be able to nag X times.

With cookies it's tough. Because if they clear them often then you have NO control over X nag times.

So you could run this based off adding a cookie

Adblock users can block antiadblock.js to render this useless.
