Did you post it in to your block as source? If so, it probably has javascript, and it won't get past the HTML filter. You might need to create the block offline and upload it, or use an existing Ad Sense block / addon.

No it is hardcoded in to the block itself.
I built it in note pad, named it block-Google_Ad_1.php
Uploaded it to Blocks then Activated it in the admin section and thats what i got.

Im Sorry I just noticed im in the wrong forum.
Blond moment i guess.

As far as I know you should't use notepad, it could be the problem. Do a google search for Crimson Editor.

Some of my google add's have taken up to a week to show up so you may have to wait a little.

You must have removed your block? I don't see it. What was it doing? By the way, I will move this topic to the blocks forum.

Yes i removed it
what it was doing was showing the block as it should , some times an ad would be in it some times it would not.
but then there would be one above it as well, as if it had been hard coded in to the nuke script as well.
i will turn it back on for you to see what its doing.

Looks like you have the google adds twice, once in the "Advertising" block and then in this additional block. Either keep your Google Adds block disabled or strip out the code that is in your Advertising block and place it into your Google Adds block.

There is a right way of adding multiple google adds for adsense on a page, but, unfortunately, I don't know what that is. (I've never had the need.)

Yes it looks that way but its not.
If i remove the block they will both go away.
only Advertising i have in list is the banner part of admin section.

Have you hardcoded the Google code anywhere in your mainfile.php or theme.php? I am seeing it twice!

Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 2:03 pm

No its only in the block that i made, when i remove that block they both are gone.
very strange.
wish i could post my block content here but i cant.

it tells me its not allowed

here is a link to a text version [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Try this as your block file contents instead of what you are using:

Code:




<?php





if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}





$content = <<< EOD


<center>


<s cript type="text/j avascript"><!--


google_ad_client = "<<edited for privacy>>";


google_ad_width = 120;


google_ad_height = 240;


google_ad_format = "120x240_as";


google_ad_type = "text_image";


google_ad_channel ="";


google_color_border = "CCCCCC";


google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";


google_color_link = "CC3333";


google_color_url = "0066FF";


google_color_text = "CC3300";


--></s cript>


<s cript type="text/j avascript"


  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">


</s cript>


</center>


EOD;





?>

Please note that you must remove the spaces that I have added in the words javascript and in script. That is what was not allowed in the posts. Also note that I removed your google_ad_client id. People need to use their own. Wink

that pushed everything to the right and only left side blocks would show.
but still no ad

Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 3:21 pm

Send me the entire block file. You have not done this right. By the way, send both the Advertiser block and the Google Ad block to:

montego __ at ___ montegoscripts {{do t}} com

My appologies, I had forgotten just how "picky" the HEREDOC syntax is. It was experiencing parse errors (you were good to not have display_errors set to true!). Here is the corrected syntax:

Code:




<?php 





if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) { 


    Header("Location: ../index.php"); 


    die(); 


} 





$content = <<<EOD


<center> 


<s cript type="text/j avascript"><!-- 


google_ad_client = "<<again edited out>>"; 


google_ad_width = 120; 


google_ad_height = 240; 


google_ad_format = "120x240_as"; 


google_ad_type = "text_image"; 


google_ad_channel =""; 


google_color_border = "CCCCCC"; 


google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; 


google_color_link = "CC3333"; 


google_color_url = "0066FF"; 


google_color_text = "CC3300"; 


--></s cript> 


<s cript type="text/j avascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> 


</s cript> 


</center> 


EOD;





?>

I will also send it to you in a reply email. Your other block above it was just fine.

Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 4:22 pm

Well, tried to send it to you but it did not like your return email addy... Sad

not sure if that was intentional or not... if so then:

Smack

If not, then

Well it now seems that NukeSentinel has locked me out and im now trying to find my way back in with out a new install

I will let you know how it goes.

its he ll to be a newbie at this.

Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 4:27 pm

What cause you to be locked out? You didn't try to put that code into a text block did you? Wink

Besides, you should have set yourself up as "Protected". There are several threads here which talk about this if you need help.

Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 5:56 pm

No NukeSentinel(tm) 2.4.2pl3 config set up will not import my user name and password.

not sure if its even working or not.
i set the Admin Auth: to ADMIN HTTP AUTH and could not get in
then set it to ADMIN CGIAUTH could not get in so i set it back to OFF

Well, block still doing the same thing so if it worked on your site its just not going to work on this one.
what i did is saved it as a block and just activated it in the block section of the admin area

Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 6:15 pm

Uughhh... when I post the code into the forum its hosing up the spacing. Be sure that there is no space after the first "EOD" and after the last "EOD;"! This works! I tested it! Wink

well its not blowing out the page but now its not showing nothing. LOL

Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2006 6:11 am

Well, I made two assumptions right up front, but now I will ask them:

1) Had you signed up for Google Adsense and that is the code you got from them?

2) How long has your site been operational with content to crawl?

Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2006 10:05 am

1 ) yes this account Was made 2 years ago.
2 ) I have had this site for 5 years, It was Invision Power Board till i went NUKE
and i was running google ad then.

Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2006 10:16 am

With my luck its a bad install, Im having XML errors with the WYSISWYG editor, RWH_WhoIsWhere is haveing MySql error, and now its the Google Ad.
