no sorry. as i don't have a adsense account.

All it does is make the ads show up only to guest so registered members don't see it. Its a good way of getting people to reg if they want rid of the ads they just register.

What if I want to have the ads hidden for specific usergroups only?

[mabersoft]

change this:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">

to this:

vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3)">

edit the number(s) with your usergroup number and then it will only display to them/that usergroup(s)

Just use the existing conditional selection options that come with the Advertising module.

One of these is actually "User belongs to usergroup", so this Template Mod is fairly superfluous.

Set that setting to Unregistered, and your ad will only be shown to Guests, and you don't have to edit the ad template.

Use this mod and edit the ad template with this, I'm fairly certain that ad location can't be used for any other ad.

Use the standard system and don't install this mod, and you can have multiple ads in one location that will be seen only by whatever usergroup you want to see them.

You can do this with vbulletin software. there is no need for this hack/mod.
