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

why this is better than "Google AdSense Integration" feature:

but let's take a look on Advanced Google AdSense features

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.

This post shows the ad correctly.

This page does not show the ad correctly.

2. Noticed display between posts isn't working. I select that option and then put in number 3 (my 468 X 60 Banner) and it doesn't display. However I can preview the ad....? WEIRD!

1. some other user report this also, I can't see where is the problem because it's work for me. I will try to figure out what is happening later

2. it's seems you have problem with the style. try it in default. if it's work, update you style to simulate the default one.

1. Since this has DB changes, does that mean I need another mysql db or does it update the vbulletin one?

2. If it updates the vbulletin one, what happens if you want to upgrade to vbulletin 4.0? Can you remove the mod?

1. it update the vbulletin one.
2. before upgrade to vb4.0 delete this mod completely. I'm making a new one for vb4.0 and may I will update this mod only for bugs .. no more options will be added lately.

When I was able to log into admin I uninstalled the mod, removed the config code I added, and site was back running as it always had.

I'm sorry to say I had to uninstall this mod as it was interfering with another mod or mods on my board - none that were advertising.

ok.. actually no problem
thanks for the test

I don't believe that and I don't recommend it.

If I remove it, then the problem goes away. Any ideas?

hey there.. if you take a look again. i just fixed the style.

adsense isn't showing tho...not on the second page. hope the vacation was enjoyable.

[TheInsaneManiac]

Now will this add on to the default Google Adsense integration or is it separate?

[mykkal]

Just checking back... I fixed the style. Can you take a look at my forum. I think some of the anolomies i'm having are common to some of us.

I have two questions:

1) Anyone knows how to display adsense ads right in the middle of the post, just like digitalpoint has (check attached picture).
2) How is your average CTR? I can't get above 0.9% ......

Thanks

[Queball_Beast]

v7.0 is not working for me so I reverted back to v6.0 until v7.0 is working

I just installed this and it works fine BUT when I enable the product all Ajax products freeze including Cyb Chatbox and Cyb Advanced Forum Stats. Is this a known issue? I don't wan't to lose the chatbox and I would really like to keep this adsense product. Any help would be appreciated!

I just get "Fatal error: Cannot use object of type mysqli_result as array in /home/trekbbs/html/global.php(607) : eval()'d code(543) : eval()'d code on line 3" when trying to go to the add ads page. I tried disabling other plugins, but no joy?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I've installed this mod and red all posts above but i have some questions:

I want to add only two large rectangles 336x280 under the navbar but i want to add different colours rotating all the time, in order to check CTR of each ad.
And i only want to show to guests and unconfirmed members.

How can i do this?

At this time i've been adding manually the adsense code directly in navbar template, but i can't do ad rotating like this.

Thank for your this great hack!
