phpBB trick for including Google AdSense between articles?

Hi,

Thank you very much for this advice!

It took me about 45 minutes to figure out why it wasn´t working... I pasted the "{postrow.AD_BLOCK}" *below* ""...

Thats because my English is very poor and I frequently misunderstand "below" and "above"...

Thanks again,
Tiago Serafim

Hello,

Thanks for that. How can I make it so that a 728x90 ad will be centered on a 800x600 resolution? Right now it causes horizonal scroll. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks.

Just tried this on my new forum - works perfectly, and I don't know anything about web code! Thanks so much.

thankyou very much... it worked without any hard work..... thanks

Any demo?

thank you for your advise, this code works perfectly!

this works so brilliant! I got some other code before, but this one work without any harssle! thanks mate!

thanks man i wanted to find that for my site onlineludhiana.com

I have tried it several times and it does not work, any post i do now comes out blank, i am using phpbb version 2.0.19, please advise as to what i may be doing wrong

Excellent, I can confirm that it works great on 2.0.20, If anyone is having problems, double check your code changes.

Thanks. I use this feature in my forum and waiting for good money.

Thank you for this excellent sample code. We have been searching for something like this for some time now.

This is great! It took me just a few minutes to install it on my phpBB forum at www.HURT911.org and at www.Lawyer-Advertising-Blog.com. It worked perfectly the second time (the first time was my fault). One note: I didn't take out "Insert your Google AdSense Code Here" in viewtopic.php because I added // in front to make it a comment. That didn't make it a comment, so I deleted it and it worked fine.

I'm sorry but it didn't work. I've checked the code a couple of times with no luck. Any ideas ?

Up near the beginning of the file, I defined the new variable $adblocktext thusly:

$adblocktext =
Insert your Google AdSense Code Here

EOM;

where should i put this part.....

Great mod! I installed and am using it in
conjunction with phpadnews and it works
seamlessly. check it out if you want

thank you very much

Where exactly do I put this? I mean what line range?

"Up near the beginning of the file, I defined the new..."

Nice shortcut!

I did it! And this is the first time I hack into my phpBB code. Phew...Thank you!

if ($i=="0") {
$adblock = $adblocktext;
} else {
$adblock = "";
}Up near the beginning of the file, I defined the new variable $adblocktext thusly:

$adblocktext =
Insert your Google AdSense Code Here

EOM;

--------------------------------------------
do it like this......

---------------------------------------
if ($i=="0") {
$adblock = $adblocktext =

EOM;
--------------------------------

works like a charm i cnt belive i got this code n got it workin after intense searchin of 2 months finally its here workin like a charm on phpbb 2.0.20

thanx alott u r the mannn!!

Not working for me. Tried couple of times with different phpbb forums. Any ideas ?

Works well. But in 800X600 resolution, I get horizontal bar because of the code.

Thanks a lot for this. It was very easy to make. Thanks.

Wow! It worked perfectly for me. Thanks to the author and DAVE as well for bringing up this.

nice modification man. thanks for the help.

--------------------------------

Ok well I didn't like how it looked so after a little tweaking of my own I got it to look like an actual post just minus a few things. So if you do want it to look like an actual post then follow the tutorial exactly but just use this code instead: http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/3631/codeoi3.png

I put the code onto an image so you could see the entire code since it's a bit longer but I like it much more now cause it blends in with the forum and looks much better.

working fine...thanks :)

we can also change if ($i=="0") to if ($i < $total_posts) to make the ad appear after every post.

Wow, thanks for making it so simple.

@Viperdriver2000: the background color of the Google ads are done in the actual adsense makeup on the Google page.

First Time, Perfect.

Great Tutorial Dave, Thanks a Million

Great tutorial Dave, it worked the first time. Thank you!

Does it take 48 hours for ads to appear?

Does this work for phpbb in phpnuke?

Just to update, I had to play around with this.

Great little MOD. I'm curious though if I could, instead of creating white space behind the ad, make the background color (#d5cba1) be what is seen behind the ad. Possible?

Jeremy, sure, there's no reason you can't go into the AdSense code block itself and set a specific background color, You can do that on the AdSense site itself, or you can just dig into the JavaScript block and set the value google_color_bg to whatever you want. On this page, for example, I use "google_color_bg = "ffffff";" to get the white background.

Thanks for the response but I'm not actually talking about the background of the google ad itself. The ad doesn't take up the entire space between the first and second post. Around the ad it's just white and I'd like to be the other color I posted before. Is that possible?

I don't know the internals of PHPbb but generally you can wrap the AdSense block in a div tag and use something like:

<div style="background-color:#ccf;width:100%">
adsense code block from Google
</div>

and that should hopefully accomplish what you seek!

If you are using PHP Nuke 7.9 and the integrated forum, the viewtopic_body.tpl file to edit should be the one in root of your site, in \themes\DeepBlue\forums (if you don't then your site will appear to be doing nothing at all). This only applies to PHP Nuke installs that use the forum module pre-configured. You would also need to adjust the code for each template used. I had to do this to http://www.elitebattlemasters.com I hope it helps!!

Thanks for this code - it works perfectly on my site at www.canadahealthinfo.ca/forum.

very nice! Once I opened the files it took about 5 minutes to change them and then done. Great step by step guide.

it worked for me too ! very nice !

Doesnt work for me. Can anyone pls help me with details.

I am using MorpheusXDarkBlue as my style. I couldn't find the end post row line in the file.
Has anybody figured out how to do it using this style?

is there a way to make ads appears after certain number of post.or before latest post, most people view latest posts not first ones?

Thanks for this code.

And yes, you can insert Javascript. I tried the following...$adblocktext = <<<EOM
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center>
Insert Google Code Here <P>
<script language=javascript>
document.write("hoobastank");
</script>
</td></tr>

<tr><td class="spaceRow" colspan="2" height="1"><img
src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1"
height="1" /></td>
</tr>
EOM;

How to use javascript i dont understand.I am begener.

Okay, i tried it, and then it said:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /sdc/home/shruikan/public_html/viewtopic.php on line 1412

so i undid it. and it's still doing it! look: http://www.shruikanforums.com/viewtopic.php

What do you mean by "Up near the beginning of the file, I defined the new variable $adblocktext thusly:"

Where the hell is that!!!

Many Thanks!

This has just saved me a lot of head scratching on a current project!

Chris

good work on this article, but I have a different question, how would I do this on phpbb3?

Cool,

hi Is this script a wind up?? Can anyone show me a forum where it works as all the ones mentioned above dont have it working!!!!

OOPS sorry found it working on some sites but spent two days on mine just about giving up!!!

Yah ask Dave taylor, but where is dave taylor when many people ask this sentence ?

----------------------------
Where exactly do I put this? I mean what line range?

"Up near the beginning of the file, I defined the new..."
------------------------------

may be the owner must change "ask Dave Taylor" to "don't ask dave taylor"

Easy there, sys. With over 100 comments a day added to the site, I can't field every question from every user. Further, I admit, I am pretty clueless about PHP and it was a friend of mine who helped out with this one. If you want to be helpful, please come back once you've figured this out and post your solution for others to read and learn from. That'd be a community service. :-)

thanks for your information, it really helped me in instaling as i liked google

This worked brilliantly!

Thank you!

Great tip worked a charm www.scripts2go.co.uk

GREAT GREAT GREAT! It works perfect on last 2.0.22 version! It must works! Can`t believe that was so simple.

how to integrate adsense with andromeda(mp3 server)

Very Nice!!! This code work perfect in 2.0.22 !!!
Thanks, sorry for my poor english hehehe ;)

Works great, only one problem it stretches the whole of the 2nd column to the same width as the ad in IE only?
is it not possible to align in centrally without altering the width of the 2nd column?

I think that my above problem might be due to a bug in IE i hear, is there any other workaround other than using colspan? i did try nesting tables but it just messes up my forum, can anyone help.

hey guys ,this is so amazing and simply mode :))

thanks a lot ...but I did mistake in a first part , because of the term"up to next"
first time I added it under that,just up to...but it doesnt work ,so I move it above and its working great...

such as use here insert your adsense code
