Miscellaneous Hacks - Google Adsense (or any kind of ads) on attachment image

I coded this hack as a paid service request here
by zlos.

I'll go fast on this by using his request thread as a description for this hack.

Briefly it allows you to put Google adsense ( or any kind of ads) on image attachments. Currently supported gif, jpeg, jpg, bmp and psd.

To customize your ads, edit image_adsense template. Make sure to change the adsense code to yours or I'll steal the money from you clicks .

check attachment for Screenshot.

UPDATE:

- 03/20/2007: Correct a bug for PSD or JGP/GIF files. The ads will now be displayed with those files (upper case letters). Thanks zlos for this.

- Edit 17/04/2007:

I've corrected one error and I think it should be working now. Or you can try it here:

http://area51.holvn.org/attachment.p...1&d=1176805966

user:admin/password: admin. The product I used there is the same as at vb.org.

Hope it works now.

This hack is absolutely free (no f***king lite version whatsoever). however anykind of donation is welcome, my paypal is bloodynighcrawler [at] gmail [dot] com.

If you can't get it working, it means that the first if(...) instruction from plugin is false.

Go to Plugin edit and go through these conditions. There is definetely something, which is being hacked or changed compared to the original.

I have also changed this code a little to reflect my changes and it works.

BTW: adding &postid=$thread[postid] to link to the attachment would be an option for some of you, I think

zlos: THANK YOU!

I had to add that &postid=$thread[postid] to get it working myself... just one little change to the image_adsense template (just pasted the snippet I changed)

<div><center><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attachmentid&ads=1&d=$time&postid=$thread[postid]" border="0" alt="" /></div></center>

It showed ads for a few minutes, but now it's not working... Very odd!

Not working for me.

Great idea, just get it to work.

Are you using Adsense? That bases itself on text within the page, since there is none I'm sure it would simply fail unless it's using banners or something. Might fail even then, I'm not sure.

I really can't get an idea why it does not work because it is working on my board without any modifications to the template, except from installing the hack. I sincerely desire to know why it's not working for you really.

Yes, I am using Adsense. I also tried to put in just a static image on the attachments page (just to test out), but that didn't work either...

I'd want to make sure my Adsense account is not in danger of cancelation before installing.

it is your responsibility to make sure it is within Google's TOS.

Send them a screen shot and explain it to them.

So far, this appears to be withing the TOS because you are not making the ads look like a post, you are simply adding them as attachments to the post.

In a sense, you add Google adsense as attachments every where else, but if you need clarification or peace of mind, contact Google.


Good luck.

Not working for me either... tried all the suggestions here. Great concept but needs more troubleshooting I suppose. Deinstalled.

Any ideas on why this doesn't work for so many??? It's just the hack I've been waiting for!
