PhpBB & Adsense

uber · 06-29-2006, 04:51 PM

I want to integrate adsense into my new forum @ www.promforums.com

I'm new to PHP... I don't have a clue where to put the adsense code to make it come up in posts... or even continually in the header.

is there a phpbb mod that can help me? or....even better a friendly namepros member.... I'd like to change the template too...but now I have the forom working I am a bit scared to do it!

Any help is appreciated!

Well, it depends on where you want it, as there is a .php file for many parts of the template. If you want it in the post, you will have to open a certain .php file and add in the script for the ads at the right position in the code. If you paste a list of all files in your templates' folder, I can tell you which one goes to which part of the forum, and possibly help you place the ad code within the file itself.

the chances are you wish to place it into overall_header.tpl.

If you are familiar with html then it should not be a problem as except for placeholders etc everything is standard html in the tpl files.

Yes PHP is relatively easy to edit compared to other forums. Once you let us know where you want it exactly I should be able to help a bit. I used it for 2 years.

Thanks - I'll give it a go...

I saw one forum where ADs come up as the third post in each thread.... is that painful to program for a PHP n00b like me?

You can put in the header (overall_header.tpl) or the footer (overall_footer.tpl).

If you want to put the adsense code between the posts in a thread, it can be easily done if you know how to program in PHP. Look at my forums at http://www.techslick.com and see how I was able to change the phpbb code to display the adsense ads after the very first post of each thread.
I can give you more details on how to do this if you want to have your ads that way.

There is a mod which makes your ads show up in/after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd....etc post. It is called "Inline Banner Ad", Click Here to download it..!Click Here.

Hope it helped.

Thankyou

I did mine by just adding the banner code to the top of index_body.tpl and the viewforum_body.tpl and finally viewtopic_body.tpl
Seems to work fine. But the reason I am here is taht some of my ads are not content related. Could some of you guys please have a snoop around and see if you know what might be causing it.
Thanks in advance, DW
