I see in your forum you make it looks esactly like a second post but I couldnt do that. And the template I use is chatbubbles which is quite different from the default
Title: Re: Google AdSense in SMF, various positions...
Post by: wohoo on September 29, 2005, 02:17:47 PM
The mimicing a category is very interesting indeed. However, is it allowed ?
The ToS says that you can not make it look like it's part of other links on your site.

I'm just a bit worried. Has anyone contacted Google to see if it's ok to place them like that ?
Title: Re: Google AdSense in SMF, various positions...
Post by: wohoo on September 29, 2005, 08:55:24 PM
To be honest I can't remember if it was is in the ToS or if I read it from another site. I've read A LOT of stuff about AdSense in the past few days since I just got approved, so I can't be sure but I remember reading somewhere you can't trick people into clicking the ads. Isn't this what this basically is ?

I really like this idea though.
About 6hours ago I sent a question to Google about this to be 100% sure if that this can be done without risking a ban from AdSense. No answer yet unfortunately.

Hi..

do you have the codes if you want the ads to be placed in the left side corner?

The way I understood the TOS was to have the ads blend in and/or even put it smack in the middle sometimes... :o Either way, let us know what Google says okay?

I will.

I'm thinking of testing the above solution today though. Who knows when google might get back to me with the answer. If it's a problem, I'll remove it.

Just got a response from Google:

You can place your ads in a forum box but please clearly mark them as
advertisements or sponsored links.

Hi, 

I setup my Google Ads using the code from your first example... but now the forum logs people out as they are trying to read and post.  I'm sure it is related to the ads, as I've taken it out an the problem goes away.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I was very busy for sometime and could not answer the questions here.

I have made changes to my forum themes and they look much better (to me) now. I will post the details here soon. Would it be better if I pack it as a 'new' theme itself?

Base theme used: curveSMF

Demo 1: Joomlaspan Forum (http://joomla.medspan.info/forum/index.php)

Demo 2: Mediscuss (http://www.medspan.info/mediscuss/index.php)

Would love your feedback on these modifications to the curveSMF theme to integrate AdSense into it...

Wow Demo 1: Joomlaspan Forum is really amazing .

Would you share this full template ? And question i seen that you are running under SMF 1.0.5 , this template ( if you gona share it ) gona work on 1.1RC1 ?
Title: Re: Google AdSense in SMF, various positions...
Post by: IncubuS on December 11, 2005, 08:12:30 AM
Will be great if you can share both of your themes they are great . Everyone would appreciate it  8)

See if you are missing out some ' or ; characters... If you are not sure, post the script change you have made at the Joomlaspan forum, one of us will take a look at it.

Well, here you go.

Just download again from the same page. I have updated the file.

The problem apparently was in the instruction line - where I had instructed the change of AdSense ID. Have removed that... tested to work okay now.

If you have any further problems, please let me know.

See if you are missing out some ' or ; characters... If you are not sure, post the script change you have made at the Joomlaspan forum, one of us will take a look at it.


Thanks very much for your reply.  I will redo check it and then if I can't find the problem, I will do as you have suggested and post the script at Joomlaspan. thanks Appreciated.

Shashikiranu

Really cool its working now, I checked and fixed something and now they are working.  One little hinge they have a //> in front of the ad so I not sure I must have made a mistake somewhere. I will try to recheck that straight away. They show up under the first post I would love to have them on the header of also if possible.  Is there any way to do that?  Or will that create too many problems with logging in and out issues?

Thanks for all your assistance and patience.

Header as in my forum currently? Check the Joomlaspan Forum (http://joomla.medspan.info/forum/index.php) now. Is that what you need?

Thats a beautiful forum nice design and layout.  You know the banner under your main menus just like that but a google ad box.  Inbetween the body of the forum and the login headings box.

Thanks so much for that script, it was really easy to install.  I don't think I will bother to change the colours after all they seem to blend in just fine with the classic theme.

Yes that was exactly what I was looking for.  How do I do that please.  Thanks so much for all your patience and assistance.  Our layout  is a bit different though for us it is more like this forum with a menu box at the top with all the login menus then a space then the main forum body.  Between that menu at the top and the forum body would be great.

Dear Mashahood,

The script you suggested inserts a google ad as a "second post". An example has already been posted here (http://joomla.medspan.info/forum/index.php/topic,39.0.html). What fanime7 asked was to add it as a "second topic" in a board.

Thanks

One of my co-admins and I have been trying to get Adsense working properly with RC2. One insertion works fine, but adding a second and a third brings display problems, mostly only the first one shows. Sometimes with few refreshes you can get more than one.

Adsense and RC2 don't work well together.

Obviously there is something wrong with the codes. You google adsense code is okay, but the inserted code is sour. Check it again and may be redo it all over again.

This looks like this http://www.fullfunda.com/forum/index.php?topic=622.0

Anyone know how to get this to work with 1.06 ?

I tried it .. and it just puts an uncentered ad "on top" of the first post.

Thanks

What can be changed so that when the adsense links are clicked they are opened in a new window?

If the "other" ad companys script resides at thier site like Googles does... then you would have to hack into thier site to change it ... then get your account cancelled !  :D

Thats a bit god damn cheeky if you ask me. Surely if its your site you should have the say as to the workings of it. Nevermind, thanks.

I have the same problem. Adsense is on top-left of the first post not under it. And there's no "dummy poster" aka "Sponsored Links."

Anyone?

Position 1: After 1st post

File to be modded: Display.template.php

Find this in the file:

// Show the member's signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['signature']) && empty($options['show_no_signatures']))
echo '
<hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />

Grr. It's making me crazy! I don't use the same theme, I use Oxygen, and I can't find where this code goes. Oxygen doesn't have a display.template.php. I've searched every file I could think of looking for the "signature" code and I can't find it. Does anyone know where it is in the Oxygen theme?

If oxygen doesnt have a display template then its using the default template.  Use that.

I am having a littel bit of problem and hoping someone could help me out.

this is my website forum http://www.matrix-network.firstclus.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=28 and as you see in the picture below

the forum, namely with main_above and main_below.  It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

Post by: lesmond on May 16, 2006, 10:15:31 AM
This is how I put adsence on my test board..

This can be used with any theme :)

go to admin/Boards/Modify Boards
In the bit where is says "Full name:" put <a href="http://www.yourname.com/smf/index.php?action=forum">Advertisement</a>
this is so people cant post in the board.
then in the Description put your adsense code, thats it.

Best to 460x60 banner though :)

This is a little off to the side of the topic at hand.

For those having trouble trawling through coding to get ads on your site, i'd suggest trying out TinyPortal and using the block functionality to easily and effectively add various code.

As an example my site (http://www.fordxr5turbo.com/forums/) i have a center block up top with my 468x60 banner code simply cut and paste into it. I also have the skyscraper down the LHS in a block. It made it very easy for me to do... TinyPortal is sweeet!  ;D

Try some CSS.  I got it working on my www.shoyoroll.com/forum site.   I cant really give you directions because its a very rough coding.  Anyway, try CSS and google putting images in absolute sections of a webspace.  I did that and managed to get it to work.

I don't like PHP, I prefer the stability of Perl better but I have a question.

My code deliveres a parsing error and it's probably due the to echo ' and my printout having ' in it. What's the escape characterr I should use?

Or is there another way to do the echo where I wouldn't have to?

Ie:

print " \" \" ";
print " ' ' ";
print qq( "" '' " ');

in Perl?

Title: Re: Google AdSense in SMF, various positions...
Post by: Bigguy on August 08, 2006, 04:25:02 PM
No it works on all themes but you have to do the edits to other themes other than the default theme yourself. So, you install the ad mod on the default theme, then go to the theme folder that you are using and edit the template files manually. You can find all the edits in the "install.xml" file or at this website:

SMF RC3 (default template)
For those who don't want to install a complete mod for this just modify the following:

In display.template.php find:
// Show the member's signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['signature']) && empty($options['show_no_signatures']))
echo '
<hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />
<div class="signature">', $message['member']['signature'], '</div>';

echo '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>';


and add AFTER:
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '
<tr><td style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr><td class="windowbg">
<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "YOUR_ADSENSE_ID_GOES_HERE!!!";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "ECEDF3";
google_color_bg = "ECEDF3";
google_color_link = "005199";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "005199";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</div>
</td></tr></table></td></tr>';


This will add a nice adsense banner after every first post.

Isd it possible to insert adsense code so that only unregistered visitors see the adsense..

The idea of course is so that members dont have to see advertising and that unregistered guest that maybe didnt want to join the forum but was simply looking for a product would see the adverts and click through to the product they were lookinmg for

Also, should I change "Themes/smfaqua" below to "Themes/Ig-Oh" in order for the colors and width to be displayed properly?

Quote<td  colspan="4" class="catbg" height="18"><img src="/Themes/smfaqua/images/post_old.gif" class="midimage" alt="No New Posts" title="No New Posts" border="0" />
Any help would be appreciated and Thanks in advance-

Here's the original index.template.php for Ig-Oh if you need it-

<?php
// Version: 1.0; index

/*   This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme.  It
   contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
   the forum, namely with main_above and main_below.  It also contains the
   menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
   template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
   the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

   The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

   The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
   should contain anything that should be shown up there.

   The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
   It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

   The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
   in the $context['linktree'] variable.

   The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
   wants and or needs.

   For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:
   http://www.simplemachines.org/

It works great. I wish I could answer your question, but it might be easier to try it that way.

Hi, after much research into the coding and also thanks to SMF Forum, I finally managed to integrate Adsense into practically anywhere in the forum - using the Classic template/theme. If you like my Adsense settings/location, you can get the codes here.

Integrating Adsense into SMF - boardindex.template

Always remember to change the publisher ID and also the channel ID(if there's any)

Happy modding..

This s very simple trick to show ads on each and every page at the bottom of the page. Remember i m newbie to php, just i tried trial & error method!

open index.template.php file of any theme
find

//Show valid logos and Powered by .......

now just insert this code just above it

echo '
//Your Google Adsense code
';


that's it :P

Have you tried the ad mod first?
It might do things how you need them instead of manually editing the files.

I always get this message:

Template Parse Error!
It seems something has gone sour on the forum with the template system. This problem should only be temporary, so please come back later and try again. If you continue to see this message, please contact the administrator.

You can also try refreshing this page.

I carefully tried the step by step but what's the problem here

This s very simple trick to show ads on each and every page at the bottom of the page. Remember i m newbie to php, just i tried trial & error method!

open index.template.php file of any theme
find

//Show valid logos and Powered by .......

now just insert this code just above it

echo '
//Your Google Adsense code
';


that's it :P

This is a better positioning:

   // Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
   template_menu();

echo '
<div align="center">
YOUR GOOGLE SCRIPT HERE
</div>
';

   // The main content should go here.
   echo '

or just a footer or header part. please help me guys
Title: Re: Google AdSense in SMF, various positions...
Post by: Rumbaar on March 05, 2008, 07:10:28 PM
@saquib some themes are very different to the CORE theme so you'll have to try and use your best judgement to find the correct location for your specific theme.  Take a look at how it's positioned in the CORe theme and then try and work it out for your custom theme.  You might be able to ask in the themes specific comment/support thread for additional help from the author.

@paypalcommunity for your needs have you looked at the Ads Management mod, I think it has the ability to control the location of ads and you'll be able to position it in headers, footers and message posts.

I may have missed the answer to my question so forgive me in advance. 

I have SMF1.1.4 with the add mod isntalled.  I have entered the appropriate code from Google Adsense and I am able to see my ad on every page as I want but it shows up on the far left under the menu. 

Also when you click on the add it takes you out of the forum.  How do you make the add a link so it doesnt take the members out of the forum when clicked?

How can I get the adds to center on the page instead of showing up on the far left.

Also, how can I show more than three adds?

I am using the core theme.

Well some of it might be specific to Google Adsense (ie open new link in new tab/browser) but the positioning and layout you are after is part of the Ads Management mod system.

Hi guys!. I would like to know how to integrate an announcer at the first post each topic. I want to be seen as follows:  ;)

I have installed the "Ad Management mod" but doesn't have this option. What should I do modify the code in the site to integrate this position ad?. I'm using smf 2.0 beta 3. I'm sorry for my bad english  :P.

I run an ad just before the first post. Search for


if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])


in Display.template.php in your theme directory. You will need to change it to something like this


if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message']) {

AD SCRIPT GOES HERE

}


Here is the complete idea of what I'm doing, I don't use the ad management mod at all. I tweaked a few things to display to only regular members and guest. In my signature is a link to the forum, which will show you the results. The code could be cleaned up a little, just haven't had time :P


// Show the message anchor and a "new" anchor if this message is new.
if ($message['id'] != $context['first_message'])
echo '
<a name="msg', $message['id'], '"></a>', $message['first_new'] ? '<a name="new"></a>' : '';

echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">';
       
        if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
     
   {
   
        $allowed_group = 0; // The group ID which will see the button.
        global $user_info;
        if (in_array($allowed_group, $user_info['groups']) || ($context['user']['is_guest'])) {
                echo '
                <tr><td style="padding: 0px 0px 1px 0px;">
                    <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr><td align="center" class="smalltext windowbg" ><br />';
         

                echo '<script type="text/javascript"><!--amazon_ad_tag = "*******";  amazon_ad_width = "728";  amazon_ad_height = "90";//--></script>
                    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script>
                    <br /><br /></td></tr>
  </table>
</td></tr>';
   
}
}

Thanks snork13  ;), but this will not be integrating the announcement in the manner indicated and the structure of Display.template.php in smf 2.0 is different. The author of the"Ad Management mod"  would have to take into account how much this position because it is very important these location

I've just realized that I'm not alowed to post a topic so I'm posting my question here.

Can I add google adsense to my private forum i.e. only accessible to members who have signed in? I'm trying unsuccessibly to add it to my forum and it's still not showing.

This is so frustrating until I realize that it could be because my forum is set to private browsing. Anyone can help?

Title: AdSense at top and and after each first post
Post by: iGraphiX on September 13, 2008, 03:13:57 AM
Hi lads, this is a way too long post, and I was wondering if I can make it longer. Hehe, just kidding.
I'm a noob but I hope this helps:

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2Fn2dcvq.png&hash=2b9bf04f3b2c60e8860e3632cde8607fb4e3c53c)
View full-size image here: http://i37.tinypic.com/n2dcvq.png

I'm using SMF 1.1.6.
In order to see what's in the screenshot you have to do the following modifications in the default theme folder, file to edit: Display.template.php

1. For the top of post ad unit:

Find this code:

// Now show how many guests are here too.
echo $txt['who_and'], $context['view_num_guests'], ' ', $context['view_num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], $txt['who_viewing_topic'], '
</td>
</tr>';
}

echo '
</table>';


And right after it add:

//Google Adsense
   echo '
   <tr><td style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;">
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <tr><td class="windowbg">
   <div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-YOUR_ADSENSE";
/* blog_bottom */
google_ad_slot = "6779400012";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
   </div>
   </td></tr></table></td></tr>';
//End of Google Adsense


2. To display AdSense unit after the first post:

Find this code:

// Show the member's signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['signature']) && empty($options['show_no_signatures']))
echo '
<hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />
<div class="signature">', $message['member']['signature'], '</div>';

echo '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>';


And right after it add this code:

//Google Adsense
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
   echo '
   <tr><td style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;">
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <tr><td class="windowbg">
   <div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-YOUR_ADSENSE";
/* blog_bottom */
google_ad_slot = "6779400012";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
   </div>
   </td></tr></table></td></tr>';
//End of Google Adsense


Now it easy to understand that in order to correctly display Google AdSense units in any version of SMF forums, in any position or alignment, just see this code and place it where you think it might bring some impressions:

   
//Start Google Adsense   
echo '
   <tr><td style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;">
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <tr><td class="windowbg">
   <div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-YOUR_ADSENSE";
/* blog_bottom */
google_ad_slot = "6779400012";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
   </div>
   </td></tr></table></td></tr>';
//End of Google Adsense


PS. Don't forget to insert your Publisher ID fron AdSense :)

Yes, just like any mod you just manually add the code to any of the applicable template files in your custom theme.

There is a feature of the Ads Management mod to insert into the first message of a thread?  If so then, and it's not in the desired position, you'll need edit the Display or Post templates that the ads management mod adds the code too and position it how you want.

Also any code should work in all themes, as long as you make the changes to all custom themes applicable template files.

Wow, thanks this works fine, but how can we place the ads before the members signature ?
(between post/text and the signature) all this in the first post, not as second post

Add the ad code before the specified code instead of after it :)

Thank you iGraphiX,
I did what ever you said but the google adsense dose not appear in the posts. Actually an empty area is appeared based on my adsense size but it is empty.
P.S : I have used my own created adsense ads.  I have used it before in my header.
also I am using babylon theme:
www.irandspcenter.ir/forum1
Does it need any change in other files?

Hi!
Sorry but i don't have read all posts from this topic.
Info from first post don't works for me.
I've edit like this and now is ok ;)

// Show the member's signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['signature']) && empty($options['show_no_signatures']))
echo '
<hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />
<div class="signature">', $message['member']['signature'], '</div>';
   if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
       echo '
        <div style="text-align: center; padding: 10px;">
        <banner code>
        </div>';
echo '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>';
}

I can't figure where to put the code on the 1.1.8 version.  I want ad it on all my pages but when I add my code I get this on my forum:

Template Parse Error!
It seems something has gone sour on the forum with the template system. This problem should only be temporary, so please come back later and try again. If you continue to see this message, please contact the administrator.

You can also try refreshing this page.

Hi lads, this is a way too long post, and I was wondering if I can make it longer. Hehe, just kidding.
I'm a noob but I hope this helps:

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2Fn2dcvq.png&hash=2b9bf04f3b2c60e8860e3632cde8607fb4e3c53c)
View full-size image here: http://i37.tinypic.com/n2dcvq.png

I'm using SMF 1.1.6.
In order to see what's in the screenshot you have to do the following modifications in the default theme folder, file to edit: Display.template.php

1. For the top of post ad unit:

Find this code:

// Now show how many guests are here too.
echo $txt['who_and'], $context['view_num_guests'], ' ', $context['view_num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], $txt['who_viewing_topic'], '
</td>
</tr>';
}

echo '
</table>';


And right after it add:

//Google Adsense
   echo '
   <tr><td style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;">
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <tr><td class="windowbg">
   <div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-YOUR_ADSENSE";
/* blog_bottom */
google_ad_slot = "6779400012";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
   </div>
   </td></tr></table></td></tr>';
//End of Google Adsense


2. To display AdSense unit after the first post:

Find this code:

// Show the member's signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['signature']) && empty($options['show_no_signatures']))
echo '
<hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />
<div class="signature">', $message['member']['signature'], '</div>';

echo '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>';


And right after it add this code:

//Google Adsense
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
   echo '
   <tr><td style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;">
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <tr><td class="windowbg">
   <div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-YOUR_ADSENSE";
/* blog_bottom */
google_ad_slot = "6779400012";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
   </div>
   </td></tr></table></td></tr>';
//End of Google Adsense


Now it easy to understand that in order to correctly display Google AdSense units in any version of SMF forums, in any position or alignment, just see this code and place it where you think it might bring some impressions:

   
//Start Google Adsense   
echo '
   <tr><td style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;">
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <tr><td class="windowbg">
   <div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-YOUR_ADSENSE";
/* blog_bottom */
google_ad_slot = "6779400012";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
   </div>
   </td></tr></table></td></tr>';
//End of Google Adsense


PS. Don't forget to insert your Publisher ID fron AdSense :)

Hello, I am trying to insert my adsense code for my forum and haven't been able to so far.  I am not sure where to place the ad, I'm using the FCY-Themes.  I tried downloading the ad management, and it does not show in my configuration list.  Please can someone help?
thanks

What language and smf version are you using ?,if they know that,people might be able to help.

I have the same problem. I'm using 2.0 RC2 and English, default theme.

I installed Ad Management (right after clean install) and everything seemed to go as planned, only I didn't see any change in the "Configuration" drop-down menu (or anywhere else). Then when I tried to uninstall, I got a screen full of red text.

I'm guessing I have to change file permissions or something but how can they be wrong when I haven't touched anything and the installation seemed to go ok?

That depends on which version of SMF your asking about, you can replace the entire code for the SMF logo and replace with google adsense code though, (small ad recommended)

Your best bet is to use a portal HTML block or Ad Management mod for placing simple code, its much easier than hard coding thus no coding required, just copy and paste

I'm using the Ad Management Mod, it's great and was so easy to install. But how do I CENTER the ads? They are all aligned to the left by default and there is no way to change that in the settings.

Hello there.
Is there a way to put ads after 1st post, as some poster. For example i can set username that will "post" ads in every second post in thread. I think that Ad Menagement mod can do this, but i dont want to install it just for this.

Ad management mod can do that, there is a option for putting ads between posts, then another option to make the ad look like a post, which is posted by "your forum name"

well, you could dismantle the mod and find the part of code that applies the ad, Im unsure which file it is, but when found the

echo ' ['blablabla'] ' would be replaced with the code, I cant really offer more help than that, you could ask in the ad management mod support thread about that certain part of the code and see if they will help you manually add it where its needed

Try this.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=255

Two types of ad code are allowed. Either html(javascript) or PHP. I am using version 2.3 in SMF 1.1.4 and it work like a charm. You can
Display ads within posts - if you set it to 1, your ad will show between post 1 and post 2. If you set it to 2, your ad will show between post 2 and post 3...etc etc

Other than this, you can
- Display ads after categories - if you set it to 1, your ad will show between category 1 and category 2. If you set it to 2, your ad will show between category 2 and category 3...etc etc
- Display ads on board index ( tick to enable )
- Display ads on every page right below the menu ( tick to enable )
- Display ads on message index ( tick to enable )
- Display ads on the post page ( tick to enable )
- Display ads after the last post ( tick to enable )
- Display ads on every page on the top of the page ( tick to enable )
- Display ads in the welcome user area ( tick to enable )
- Display ads on the bottom of the page ( tick to enable )
- Display ads on every page as a tower on the left side ( tick to enable )
- Display ads on every page as a tower on the right side ( tick to enable )
- Display ads under child boards ( tick to enable )

Hope this help.

It could be also that you have too many ads on one page, if your using Google Adsense they have a limit to how many ads you can use on one page, I believe its somewhere around 4 ads.

If you have less than this then I see no reason why it should not work. You will need to seek more help, from someone that can login to your site and look for errors in coding.

Technically the team isn't strictly responsible for providing support here, generally the thread starter is assumed to be.

Arantor is right. "Individual" posting the tip/trick is responsible for support and explanation.;) If we were going to hold SM LLC responsible for advises from individuals, wow.. I don't think they even check this board, other than moderation, yes they are watching us! :P

Try this for SMF 2.0 RC3. Change left to right if you want it to be on the right side and the width accordingly with your ad size (+10px to be more beautiful).

After some reference, I clean up the code a bit with ad only in the first post. Change float:left; width:270px; and adsense id to your need.
Find:
echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';

Replace:
echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>';
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '
<div style="float:left; width:270px;">
<script target="_blank" type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* All 250x250 */
google_ad_slot = "8967115259";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js?target=_blank">
</script></div>';
echo '
', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';


At the same time, I am looking for a solution for this too (without the text or ad being hidden). :(

Lol... Hi, shawdy. I am not banned here. No, not by SMF. They are kind people here with a good free license software for all of us. I was banned somewhere else by using the signature. I thought I put it there as my signature as a protest to them (not SMF). Sorry, if I misled you in any kind. Always, remember that the last part of the post is the signature and not a note for banning. Sorry again.

Kiss it goodbye, your never going to get it re-enabled.

unless;

you change your domain.
change your home address (or use another)
change your SSN (or use another)
change your name (or use another)

lol its true, somebody click bombed mine adsense ads, and mine was and still is disabled, that's what you get when you have competition.

I moved to adbrite, seems to be the next best thing after adsense.

I am interested in adding Adsense to my forums. Right now my only Ad is listed on the Homepage of my website, but I would like to add to my forums since that is where the most impressions would come from.

What information do I need to include in this thread for someone to assist me in setting this up correctly?

I am using SMF 1.1.11 any help would be greatly appreciated.

Index.template.php
Code (find) Select

// If the user is logged in, display stuff like their name, new messages, etc.

Code ( Add after) Select

            echo '<div id= "floatright">
    Some ad code goes here
    </div>';


Also, add the following class to style.css

#floatright
{
    float:right;
}


That's for the ad at the top, although is says find "// If the user is logged in" it will still display for guests as its before the if statement. :)

Ok don't panic, you probably have a backup you don't even know about.

Look for Index.template.php~, attach that.

Upon further reading, I assume your editing from the theme editor within the forum.

Please access the files using a FTP client.

You can attach the templates here, instead of using Quick Reply, click reply on the right side then click  "+additional options" , then attach files their.
Are you sure that file is the one from your theme, because their are no errors in that file.

In order to do what? I really just need my Navigation Bar corrected, I am fine with everything else that has happened I guess. How can I add back the Donate, Promote, Site Index options to the Navigation Bar?

Since adding this AdSense is such a hassle I will just forget about it.

I appreciate all the help you offered, but this never worked.

Would anyone else know how to go about adding Google Adsense to my forums? Thanks.

Are you sure you added this to the correct theme?

That's definitely in the right place for displaying that ad. I have a theme based on core just like that and I displayed my ad the same way and it works fine.

Got a link to your forum

My work has Websense so I cannot view to see if this is coming up right now. I added the new index, could you visit the site again and see if this is working now? Thanks, do you have a PayPal I could send a donation to for helping me out, if this is working?

IMHO all of these can be used to all other ads as well. So if you have other ads to display, you may use them too.

Those options can be achieved easily with a few PHP conditions before the ad script and one paid subscription to automate the entire process.

Adsense is the number 1 ad provider I believe, I would use a tracking system however, if some of your visitors/members misuse the ads, click clicking the c**P out of them just to help you (without you even knowing) Adsense will disable your account, and until you provide logs and they determine what happened it will never be enabled again.

Just be careful, and don't click your own ads, not that you will, just a friendly warning. Google are VERY strict.

There free for publishers to put the ads on their sites.

However Mochi is for flash games, they are embedded in the games in other words and takes a little know how to get them set up. If you plan to run flash games with Mochi ads in them please take a look at my Mochi Media Hack for SMF Arcade.

I use AdBrite, AdSense and Mochi with a competitive edge through Google's Double Click program. I also run paid ads through my sites through Google Double Click program or AdBrite.

However I am unsure of the legal age you must be to participate in these programs. You got your labor laws and plus legal binding contracts really don't hold up in the US for minors so allot of companies are hesitant to allow minors to sign up. I don't know which programs may not allow sign up due to age, but that is something you can figure out.

What is Google's Double Click program? I just heard about it here. Can you explain a bit? It sounds interesting.

I've been creating courage to register in this forum, you know, I was a little bored and too lazy to do that.

So let's go to the point, I made a modification in the code, I also tried to use the index code, but it broke my template, I didn't mind about it anyway, cause header ads takes too much space.

Here goes my modification in case if you want to display one ad after the first signature and another one right before the reply button (For curve Themplate - SMF 2.0.1):

Open the file Display.template.php.


Replace:
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])

With:
if ($ad = ($message['id'] == $context['first_message']))

Right after add:
<div align="center">
        <script type="text/javascript"><!--
        google_ad_client = " AdsenseID";
        google_ad_width = 728;
        google_ad_height = 90;
        google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
        google_ad_type = "image";
        google_ad_channel =" ChannelID";
        google_color_border = "577494";
        google_color_bg = "577494";
        google_color_link = "FFFFFF";
        google_color_url = "999999";
        google_color_text = "EFEFEF";
        //--></script>
        <script type="text/javascript"
          src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
        </script>
  </div>
';









Right before // Show the page index... "Pages: [1]".
insert:
if ($ad)


{
echo '<!-- Blank -->';
} else {


echo '
<div align="center">
        <script type="text/javascript"><!--
        google_ad_client = " AdsenseID";
        google_ad_width = 728;
        google_ad_height = 90;
        google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
        google_ad_type = "image";
        google_ad_channel =" ChannelID";
        google_color_border = "577494";
        google_color_bg = "577494";
        google_color_link = "FFFFFF";
        google_color_url = "999999";
        google_color_text = "EFEFEF";
        //--></script>
        <script type="text/javascript"
          src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
        </script>
  </div>
';



}






Don't forget to change your Adsense ID and ChannelID, that should work just fine. You can see it working here: forum.mghospedagem.com


PS: I took the whole daybreak and part of the morning to figure out how to solve the issue that when a topic had only one message, it was showing two ads, now you can rest in peace, because if the topic has only one message, it'll only display one ad.


PS 2: SOooooooooooooooo sorry, there was a part missing, just fixed it.

Hi,

I've tried to add the google ad code in first Post. Though my Display.template.php file code is bit different from the code which is provided by topic initiator, but I've successfully added the code with a little variation.

The area of Display.template.php file was mentioned by topic initiator had a different code, my code at that place was as follow:

// Show the member's signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['signature']) && empty($options['show_no_signatures']) && $context['signature_enabled'])
echo '
<div class="signature" id="msg_', $message['id'], '_signature">', $message['member']['signature'], '</div>';

echo '
</div>
</div>
<span class="botslice"><span></span></span>
</div>
<hr class="post_separator" />';
}


I have added the code provided by topic initiator after replacing my adsense code after:

// Show the member's signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['signature']) && empty($options['show_no_signatures']) && $context['signature_enabled'])
echo '
<div class="signature" id="msg_', $message['id'], '_signature">', $message['member']['signature'], '</div>';


So if anyone have different code in Display.template.php file and it matches with the code I've provided above, he can add his google ad code after above lines which I've mentioned.

Here you can see the result.

Post by: bukharifaran on October 22, 2012, 06:17:31 PM
After adding the google code in First post of each topic as described by the topic initiator, I've also added the google ad code on the second place. Just below the Main menu as we have on SMF http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php

Topi initiator mention index.template.php file to edit. But he is using some different theme. Where as I am using default theme. By adding the code provided by topic initiator, it creates some table and other links along with google ad which looks bad.

Topic initiator give this line to search:
// The main content should go here. (Some more text was there in initial posts but that text is not in default theme.)

Topic initiator mention to add his provided code below above mentioned line.

But if you are using default template than right below this line, you will find this code:


echo '
<div id="content_section"><div class="frame">
<div id="main_content_section">';

// Custom banners and shoutboxes should be placed here, before the linktree.


I have added my Google code right after the second dive having id="main_content_section" and it works fine for me. You have to add like this:


echo '
<div id="content_section"><div class="frame">
<div id="main_content_section">

Your Google Ad code here
';

// Custom banners and shoutboxes should be placed here, before the linktree.


And it will work for you.

When I ask from support how to add google ads, they told me to browse the TIPS and Tricks category. I open this and found this thread. And I see some posts where users are complaining that there code is different from the one provided in first post. That is why I posted the new code which I have.

Hi Is there anymore recent information about this topic. I have been trying to get Ad-sense working in my forums. Using 2.0.11. I have been trying to put the Google code in the ad management section as I would any other ad but I get a blank space.

Is there a more recent method?

I have a similar issue, but think it's because my site / ads are still under review and not been fully approved in the 2 stage approval process.

Please can this mod be created by adding ad-code in the 1st , 3rd paragraph of the content and also middle of the content ???
Or if there is coding to apply in display.template.php without installing this mod please share. Thanks

not for adding within a certain number of paragraphs in a content.

You could of always add the adsense to the template without any mod.

I already add the Ad-code in the template and it shows in the position I place the Ad-code, but I just want it to be at the after 1st paragraph and middle of the post.

Great! The codes work amazingly, I get about 10,000 impressions a day on my site. It has skyrocketed my google ad clicks using your code, four bucks a day is great.
