Forum advice :: How I placed Adsense on my forum.

Please provide your Display.template.php file.

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Just change my code above a bit like this. Find:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';
Replace:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>';
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '
<div style="text-align:center;">
<script target="_blank" type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* All 790x90 */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = xxx;
google_ad_height = xxx;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js?target=_blank">
</script></div>';
echo '
', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';
Note that the float has the effect of floating the ads inside the post but align will put it outside the post (in this case above the post and centered).

@ Abrahsis you are just too much for this community. It works like magic. Cuddles  Sir.

[Sandra Khairul Riz]

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:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';
Replace:

Code Select Expand

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-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* 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>';

I use the code on 2.0 rc3 and it parse error.

Please how can I place 336/280 next to the content of every last post on the left as explained above. Please I want it to be appearing at every last post alone.

NOTE: only last post I want it to be appearing (PLACE NEXT TO THE CONTENT ON LEFT SIDE, as seen in your example above) Thanks in advance

You can try this tips and tricks.

Firstly, do this:

In Display.php look for:

Code Select Expand


'counter' => $counter,


and add after it:

Code Select Expand


'is_last' => $context['num_replies'] == $counter,


Then, open Display.template.php and find:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';
Replace:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>';
if($message['is_last'])
echo '
<div style="float:left; width:346px;">
<script target="_blank" type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* All 336x280 */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js?target=_blank">
</script></div>';
echo '
', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';

Have fun!

Sorry 'counter' => $counter cannot be found in smf 2.0 rc3 or rc4,  please what is the way out as I ONLY want the 336/280 ad displaying next to the content of every last post at LEFT SIDE.  Thanks.

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Please look again. In the first part, you need to find counter and add after it in Display.php (Source folder) and not Display.template.php (Theme folder). This has been confirmed by other users and the mod goes perfectly well.

Only then you made changes in Display.template.php for the second part.

I am kin to ask if it possible to place ad in first and last post. The one for  last post is working well after following your tweak above. But I love it also appears next to the content on left side of first post. How can I make this possible change please.  I have tried but could not. Thanks
Note: I want the add to display in next to content of first and last post respectively (LEFT SIDE)

echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';
Try replacing it with this:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>';

if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message']) || if($message['is_last'])
echo '
<div style="float:left; width:346px;">

google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

echo '

</div>';
Have fun and good luck!

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Try changing this line:

Code Select Expand

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

to something like this:

Code Select Expand

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

or to something like this (if the above still is not working because I've not tested any of these yet):

Code Select Expand

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

[donjazzy]

Just change my code above a bit like this. Find:

echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';
Replace:

echo '

if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '
<div style="text-align:center;">
<script target="_blank" type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* All 790x90 */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = xxx;
google_ad_height = xxx;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js?target=_blank">
</script></div>';
echo '
', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';
Note that the float has the effect of floating the ads inside the post but align will put it outside the post (in this case above the post and centered).

You know  I requested this and you did it, BUT I have a problem. When I tried to place an ad to be appearing next to the content (LEFT SIDE) of every last post, I could not because when I do, this code will be gone. I still want this ad appearing as-is WHILE a 336/280 will be appearing next to the content at every last post. Please what is the tips and trick to this. Thanks Sir

I have answered that. Read posts above this post, starting from your post about this earlier before.

You shoud try to use a more complex if and elseif. If only I have extra time to help.

Something like:
If the board is number 1, 2 or 3
display no ad
else display ad

Just have to translate this to a working SMF php code. Do ask in Coding or respective version of your SMF for proper support.

[InfoStrides]

Hi, how can I place ad after every first post in smf 2.0 using tips/tricks. Thanks

I would like to know if there has been any issue with the mods developed for this purpose. You can try and install Simple Ads or Ad Management Mods. I have tested them and they work fine. You can even do more customisation on Simple Ads. Check here: http://www.theinfostrides.com for how I placed my ads.
