Another thing you can do is to make a new file in your root-folder called googleads.php with this in it:

Code:

then in the module you like behind:

include("header.php");

add

include("googleads.php");

You don't need to. Add the code either to header.html or to theme.php
before the <tr> for the $public_msg
and you will get what you'll see if you visit the www.vdsp.net

Hi
Being a new phpnuke user and only being able to edit simple phpnuke documents (still learning)
Ive just started a review website - and noticed alot of sites have Google AdSense on them. I signed up and recieved my confirmation email. I have created the block & its now showing on my site - but i have a few questions/probs:
1 when editing the settings of my adsense (colour/size etc) i chose a 120x600 banner and chose to have text ads only (i wanted text ads only basically because i have enough images on my website) - i also chose to have 4 text ads showing in the block - but for some reason after creating the block i have a 120x600 sized image - which is showing an ad which is nothing at all to do with the content of my site (think its showing an ad about ppl with disabilities) - will the image change after a period of time to ads which i saved in my setting (4 text ads?)
Why isnt it showing ads that go along with the content of my site? (will this also be changed after a period of time?) any help would be much apreciated.

They need to spider your site a few times and learn the content before the adds will be a little more content related. You might also want to look into Bidclix and Top Posters they both offer nice incentives for add carriers.

I'm adding just a little update to this code.

If you are like me and have different themes for your site, especially themes that vary in colour, and your Adsense banner looks OK in one theme but crap in the others, I have come up with a solution!!

By simply using the bgcolor of the theme it will now change the colour of your Adsense banner.

code removed

then in the module you like behind:

include("header.php");

add

include("googleads.php");

Just add two new lines to your code and change two other lines (plus all the php echo's)

Code:

<?php
global $bgcolor3, $bgcolor1;
$bgcolour3 = substr(strrchr($bgcolor3,"#"),1);
$bgcolour1 = substr(strrchr($bgcolor1,'#'),1);
echo "<center><script type=\"text/javascript\"></script>\n"
."<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js\">\n"
."</script></center>";
?>

Obviously width, height, format, type and channel are left up to your own preferences as the code above has mine.

Now I hear you say "Why don't you just add $bgcolor1 instead of changing it?"

Well Adsense colours do not like the '#' in front of them so we have to strip them out.
Now one could go a step further and replace the link, url and text colours to if they want to but this was enough for my liking.
Now when anyone changes the theme, the Adsense banner will match.

And remember the '<?" and '?>' at the top and bottom. Since we are using php variables this code now has to be written in php.

Anyhow let me know if you like/dislike.

iono i never had a problem with it.. i either inserted the code directly in the database or i made a txt file with the code and then i placed a include("google_leader.txt"); line in the theme.php where i wanted it.. did it to the News module also..

what i wanted to know is if could be possible to throw in the google ads in rotation with the rest of the banners in the Banner Module

if anyone got any idea holla back on this one

As GiZiM stated, you must save the file as a php file not text so your file should be saved as google_leader.php and your include line should be include("google_leader.php");

Lost2,

I use the google ads and when no ads can be delivered by google it automatically runs www.luchtzak.be/banners.php

you can select this in your google adsense profile

I use phpbb forums. I have already created the googleads.php file and have been including it after include()headers as stated somewhere on these forums....

What I now want to learn how to do is how to include googleads into the actual text of each private message and each forum message. This would be similar to google's gmail - where you see targeted google adsense ads inside your emails based on the text of emails. Please help, anyone.

Thanks a bunch!!
