I just discovered a really good way to put your googleads in the forums without putting it in the overall_header. What you can do is modify the following three files:

index_body.tpl
viewforum_body.tpl
viewtopic_body.tpl

Open each file and find where the first table ends, marked by
Code:
</table>

then after that put in
Code:
<div style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">


***insert your googlead code here****

</div>

Then your googleads will appear in your forums. If you match the colors to the ones on your site they blend right in. You will start seeing ads targeted at what each thread is about... (I hope Embarassed )

Maybe this should be moved as it is not a block. I am sorry.

I just place mine in themes.php. Yes, you have to add it to each one but it's just a one time deal.

I had mine up there also Raven but modifying these three files bring it right down into the forum body. More visual more clicks. Take a look at what I mean. I think it looks good. [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

When I tried adding more than one google adsense ad, the subsequent ads were blank.....but I was using the NSN Banner Clients system, so i am not sure if that had something to do with it.......

I might have to consider doing what you did blith....looks good! Mr. Green

Right but it is not on every page and it is further down. Google has a funny thing about having ads on search pages. they do not want to see them there. So this removes them from search results. I know it is not a hard fast rule against forums search pages but who knows. Anyway I like them a little further down like this rather than in the overall_header. I appreciate your help though because it sent me down the right path!! Very Happy

Right below the menu bar and right above the "Gamers Roam: Forums" title.

I must be blind... The only thing I see anywhere is the amazon top 100 thing in his menu bar... I don't see a google ad here anywhere.

Oh nevermind.. I figured it out...

I was my windows hosts file blocking ads... As I've really bumped it up.. (A little too good I guess), I don't see ads anywhere anymore...

I removed the google ad blocking settings and I see it fine now.

I did it exactly as you said, what can be wrong?

I see you have the google ads up in there, but before your <head> tag, you have:

Code:
<html><cript type="text/blaffacript" language="blaffacript" src="http://counter.fateback.com/java.php?user=10003"></cript><nocript>

                         <a href="http://counter.fateback.com" target="_blank">
                         <img src="http://counter.fateback.com/webstat.php?user=10003" alt="counter" border="0"/></a></nocript>


You'll want to move that down under the <head> tag. Note... I had to change some of the words so I could post it here (you can't say s-c-r-i-p-t or j-a-v-a-s-c-r-i-p-t here in the forums), but you'll get the gist of what I'm talking about when you look at your source.

It looks like a custom counter of some kind.

I'm assuming the code would be in your header.php file, or your my_header.php file.

I'd start with those.

Make sure that none of the code for that counter stuff appears above the line that says
Code:
    echo "<head>\n";
but rather after it.

It will take a while before the ads start to appear. Also if they are repeats or there is nothing that corresponds with the page material it will not show any ads and you will have a blank space. I still get that from time to time on mine... I just took a look at your site and it seems to be working now...

mmm, I had to remove the google ad from the header.html, then the ads started to appear, maybe because it detected it as a repeated ad, you know where else and how can I add google Ads?, like private messages, etc?, or how do I add it to the downloads page???

Vargarv - your counter code is still in the wrong place, it needs to be AFTER the <head> command in headers.php. In fact, I suggest that your remove this code completely. PHP-Nuke has a built in counter feature that works with your statistics module. You can also display counter information in other forms like blocks (See Raven's "Site Info" block on the left of your screen). Having this other counter in there just screws up the works.

If you take the google ad code out of all of the other "sections" that you have put it in, and have it only in the header.php file, after the <head> tag, you will produce ads on EVERY page on your site.

Finally, there should be no google code in your header.html file, only your header.php file!

Well, That code is not in headers.php and I haven't been able to find it in any other file, also apparently If i put the googlead in header.php It won't have any effect because the theme Im using has a header.html and the changes I do in it actually appear on the site. Do you have any more ideas where can I locate that code?

Look for the header.php and my_header.php not only in your root directory, but also in your /themes/THEMENAME/ directory.

There is only header.html in the directory of the theme, no header.php or my_header.php

To further clarify, is this the proper method to get the googleads at the top of the forums similar to what we see here on this site? I like it and think it very clean.

I have played with the header files, but the only thing I am able to do is get it to appear on every page. I'd rather it appear in the forums at the top.

Thank You.

For the GoogleAds, overall_header.tpl should do it
