@ fff: If I'm not mistaken those queries can be run in phpmyadmin.

@ ScrepY: Did you already add an add, is that why that space is there.

@ 2sanstef: Did you run the install.php is that what you are having problems with.

Update:

I installed ad mgt mod via package manager, got the green light indicating that the mod had been installed successfully but no ads and error messages saying the sub.php had errors.

Decided to install manually and completed all changes (No changes had been previously made by the package manager)

Got stuck at the install.php stage as didn't understand how to run these.

Went back to forum and it appears that ad mgt mod has now been installed successfuly.

Problem now is that Ads don't appear in all of the optional locations on the page. If I ask for it to be at the end of each post they appear at the beginning and end?

No error messages are being generated.

I am inclined to leave well alone. By the way have any changes been made in 1.1.9 that stop the package manager working properly as I have had problems installing this and the feeds mod, previously they both installed simply via the package manager?

I did it but I didn't solve my problem

@ 2sanstef: No changes I know of

@ ScrepY: It could be the problem. What does the ad mod look like on the default theme. Is that space still there.

I'm trying to select 'Manual Install Instructions for SMF ver 1.1.9 but it will not parse. What could be wrong ?

lindseylakeshore · July 09, 2009, 11:08:19 AM

I am trying to parse my new theme for my site the ads appear under default theme but keep coming up t string errors when I try to adjust the theme with the parse. Am I parsing to the smf version or the theme version. I run 1.1.9 smf but the theme is 1.1.8

Bigguy · July 09, 2009, 11:21:09 PM

@ ScrepY: Then the only file you need to edit is the index.template from the custom theme you are using. Try using the parser and an editor to work out were the code goes.

@ TomW: Could be something wrong with the parsor or the mod's .xml file. Try reporting it to the team.

@ lindseylakeshore: Ask the theme author for an updated theme and try again.

@ collins465: You shouldn't need any tags in the adsense code that you paste into the ad mod. So if you see any <php> or <html> tags strip them out and try it again. This includes their closing tags.

Check your permissions for viewing the ads.

Pease help!

I am trying to add adsense ads to my forum using Ad Mode.

So I received the code from google:

Code Select

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-3440420860184444";
/* ??????? ?1 */
google_ad_slot = "4374157380";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

I pasted it to the content field in the Ad Mode and nothing happend. But then I try to test it and write simple text in the contect field its working!

shumilica · July 16, 2009, 07:18:31 PM

vitalik82 this happens because google must first crawl the page to show ads. This ussually take a couple of hours to a day.

searchgr · July 18, 2009, 08:21:34 AM

and second are allowed only three adv. per page as per google policy

mgburks · July 18, 2009, 01:24:58 PM

Will this mod work with SMF 1.1.10? I've downloaded and installed it successfully but I do not see ad management in the configuration section of my admin panel.

Any guidance someone can give me will be most appreciated.

B1gft · July 18, 2009, 05:56:14 PM

I have just installed the mod, and have got this reading.

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

The version of SMF I am useing is SMF 1.1.10. but I have also tried it with other versions and I am still getting the same message.
Please help as I really need this mod.
Thanks

Bigguy · July 18, 2009, 06:28:51 PM

You will have to wait until the package is updated.

TomW · July 18, 2009, 08:04:02 PM

I have been able to edit manually all of the files except for index.template.php which is from corp-lt116 theme. It is drastically different than the default theme. Can anyone help me with updating this file ? You may pm me if you like.

NaYa · July 19, 2009, 02:40:01 AM

how i apply this to ANGIE theme ...with smf 1.1.10

i used this in a theme named "post it" without any edits....

ScottDB · July 19, 2009, 02:58:29 AM

Hi all. I just installed the Ad Management and have edited permissions and all that but I still do not see any adds.
Checked it with multiple places for ads to show as well as just one. Checked the show ads in the permission settings and even logged in as user to check for ads showing.
Tried multiple themes for default in case it was a theme problem.
I am not getting any error mesages so that makes it a little harder to figure out what the problem is.

I am using SMF 1.9 with ad package ad_mod_v2-3-1_SMF_v1-1-x. Not sure if this is the latest or best one to use with this version. Have posted in the mods general support but no reply. Can anybody help?
