Google Ads

[bonnmac]

Not sure if anyone has posted this before, so I thought I'd post it. If it's already been posted somewhere, feel free to delete it. I wasn't able to find it when I was searching, so I made my own.

It's fairly simple to add Google Ads to your vbadvanced.


Go to your "Admin CP > Styles Manager > Add new template

Then Title = adv_portal_google

Paste the following into the "Template" Part

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] <!-- Module title here -->Google Ads </strong></span></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%">

<center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-Put your google ad number here";
google_ad_width = 125;
google_ad_height = 125;
google_ad_format = "125x125_as";
google_color_border = "22229C";
google_color_bg = "E0E0F6";
google_color_link = "22229C";
google_color_url = "0F1D8C";
google_color_text = "3E5C92";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</center> 

		</td>
	</tr>
</table>
<br />

Save.

Now go into Admin CP > vBa CMPS > Add Module

Module Title = Google Ads
Module Identifier - Leave Blank
OR Template to Include = adv_portal_google

The rest is up to you.

I'm not a coder, so I may have done something wrong here. All I know is this works on my site. Hope it helps someone.

any help with the google ads and a module for it is really useful as I am about to add it to my site......


any more hints?

Ok... I did those two things but I am STILL having a problem with the MOD (block) showing up on my main page. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I followed the two parts and all the steps above.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be great... thanks

I'm having problems using more than one google ad module on the same page. I'm using two identicle google ad modules and one of them works all the time and the other seems to pop on and off. Is this google related or is it a problem on my end? You'll see if you go to my homepage(www.theoverclocked.com).

[Gizmo[5h1t3]]

works an absolute charm....excellent addition there mate!!

[y2ksa]

Well I cant seem to make it work it just doesn't appear in the index and I'm sure I did activate it! Any ideas

[iSpanish]

It works done with me too! Thanks!

[y2ksa]

Hello I still have the same issue any ideas please

[rbl]

y2ksa, are you sure you have activated the module in the page you are looking at?
It's dead easy to activate the module in another page and then scratch your head wondering where it is, I know I've done that a couple of times =)
And btw, did you check the permissions? Does your usergroup have permissions to see that module?

[y2ksa]

yes but i got it to work now
i changed this part
OR Template to Include = adv_portal_google
to
OR Template to Include = google

and it's working now

thanks any way

[rbl]

That was actually posted fifth in this thread =)

[y2ksa]

[gguerra3]

How can you make it so when you click on the link it opens in a new window. (i.e. target="_blank")

Anyone? thx

This isn't working for me I have the box title on the right side that says "Google Ads" but there are not ads, only the box title.

[mholtum]

where do you find your google add number?

[Caveman2k2]

http://www.google.com/adsense

I got it working by just starting over completely.

Thanks

I know how to get my code. But it stated "pub-Put your google ad number here"

Do I just throw my code there or is there a specific number?
