Mini Mods - Guest Only AdSense below Navbar - Increase registrations & revenue

This is pretty a straightforward template edit that will display adsense below the navbar for guests only. Not only will it put adsense in a decent location overall for revenue, but it will encourage new registrations as well.

Template Edits: 1
Install Time: 2 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Step 1:
AdminCP -> Styles and Templates -> Style Manager

Edit the navbar template. At the very bottom, add the following:

<!-- Guest Adsense -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0">
<div align="center">
<!-- AdSense Start -->

### PASTE YOUR ADSENSE CODE HERE ###

<!-- /AdSense -->
</div>
<br />
</if>
<!-- /Guest Adsense -->

Paste your Adsense ad unit code in place, and you're good to go.

Optional

I put a small blurb about logging in to remove the adds underneath it. To do so, add the following:

<br>
<font face="arial" size="1" color="#FFFFF">Login to remove these ads.</font>

UNDER:

<!-- /AdSense -->

Hi

great MOD!

How can you vary this, so that only specific usergroups do not see the ad (i.e. paying members)?

[REIGN SS]

i believe that all you to is add the user id numbers here

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 1,2,3,0">

(the red text is just an example of what to add, depending on what your user group # are it will vary)

p.s: Installed!!

Hmm, the "<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 1,2,3,0">" doesnt work, tells me


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/girlgame/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3681) : eval()'d code on line 262


Doesnt like the comma lol. Any other ideas?


Edit nvm i found out how. For those wondering.........

Use the conditional that matches your needs - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...t=Conditionals

For me i didnt want the ads to show to premium members, so i used

<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X)">

Ok, I believe that the info bellow is correct and the above should be considered as an error, right? :erm:

Ok, this info is quite useful! But what if I need to exclude more than one group? (in my case, I would like to exclude Premium, Admins and Mods.)

Thank you!! :up: :up:
