Adding adsense code after each post:
1. Login to your adsense account and create an adsense unit of suitable size with background color = border color = forum post background color.
2. Login to your forum Administration Control Panel.
3. Click on the tab “Styles”.
4. At the left menu click on the link “Templates” under the category “Style components”. A list of all installed templates will appear.
5. Click on the “Edit” link of the template which you’re using for your board.
6. A combo box listing all template files will appear. Select the file “viewtopic_body.html” at the end of the list.
7. Find string

Quote:

<div class="postbody">{postrow.MESSAGE}</div>

.
8. Replace that string by the followings.

Code:

<div class="postbody"> {postrow.MESSAGE}
<table style="width: 100%; margin: 10px 0 ;"><tr><td style="text-align: center;">
<!—your Adsense code here -->
</td></tr></table>
</div>

9. Replace the text "<!—your Adsense code here -->" with your adsense code.
10. Please do not forget to save the changes you have made.

It depends where you want that your Ads appear. If you want them to appear at the top of the footer or at the top of the board (just below the horizontal menu) then you need to edit the template file overall_header.html or overall_footer.html.

sorry mimis, u can't do it. Putting adsense code in overall_header.html or overall_footer.html, ads will display on search page also going against TOC of Google. So they will cancel your account.

Hi Admin.

I have a quick question about this thread. What about if you want to show the AdSense Ad only the first or the original post? Is there any way?

Thanks!

Yes, there is a way. But you have to enable PHP code in your template file.
To do this,

1. Login to your admin control panel.

General

security setting

Allow php in templates:

4. Click submit button to save the change.Now open file "viewtopic_body.html."
Find string

Quote:

<div class="postbody">{postrow.MESSAGE}</div>

.
Replace that string by the followings.

Code:

<div class="postbody">{postrow.MESSAGE}
<!-- PHP -->
static $adsense=0;
$adsense++;
$adsense_max=1; //no. of adsense block.
if($adsense<=$adsense_max){
<!-- ENDPHP -->
<table style="width:100%; margin:10px 0;"><tr><td style="text-align:center;">
<!—your Adsense code here -->
</td></tr></table>
<!-- PHP -->}<!-- ENDPHP -->
</div>

Please do not forget to save the changes you have made.

OMG. That's cool. I'd prefer to use this way, because for example, if the first thread is a 2 lines post, and the second one is a 1 or 2 line reply, that is going to look like a flood of AdSense.

I'll try it then, Thank you so much.

I'll let you know if it works.
