setting for adsense..

[luism]

Hi I am sure there is a setting I haven't found yet.. but where is the setting that makes adsense ads show EVEN if you are registered?

Right now ads show up only if you are unregistered. Or not logged in..

Thanks

The integrated Adsense has a few options for the display of ads:

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/adsense_integration

You can manually edit the Ad Location Templates if you want to setup custom conditions for the advertising code:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Ad Location Templates

For example, this condition can be used in the templates to show something for guests only:



<if condition="!$bbuserinfo[userid]">

</if>


If you don't use any conditional code then it will show for everyone.

Thanks for the reply..
The code that you show is only if I want certain memebers to view certain ads?

So as far as you know..
Adsense ads will only show up if you are NOT logged in?
They will only show if you are a guest or a user that hasn't been logged in?
It doesnt make sense.. :confused: There must be a way to turn that option on so ads will show to all users.. logged in or not..
I am concerned that if I manually place code to show ads in the vb pages it will nullify my adsense contract.. by having the built in adsense code place an ad and then having my own manual code (before the adsense option) ad placed on top of the other one..

Am I making sense? Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Ads should show for everyone if the code in the Ad Location Templates does not use any conditionals.

Thanks Jake:
So here I go ...
So in case I mess things up I created a style under default whic can edit and if I screw things up I can always go back to sqaure one :)

I clicked on the ad_showthread_firstpost_start

and see a lot of code...

<if condition="$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->adsense_pub_id">
<if condition="!$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<div style="float:right; width:300px; height:250px; margin-left:10px">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "{$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->adsense_pub_id}";
google_ad_host = "{$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->adsense_host_id}";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
google_ad_format = "300x250_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel = "";
google_color_border = "$stylevar[alt1_bgcolor_hex]";
google_color_bg = "$stylevar[alt2_bgcolor_hex]";
google_color_link = "$stylevar[body_link_n_fgcolor_hex]";
google_color_text = "$stylevar[body_fgcolor_hex]";
google_color_url = "$stylevar[body_link_n_fgcolor_hex]";
google_ui_features = "rc:6";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>
</if>
</if>

should I just erase all of the above?
Or just reomove certain parameters?

Thanks

Remove

<if condition="!$bbuserinfo['userid']">and one time

</if>(Note it's there twice and one of them should stay in place).

[luism]

Should I seek out this code in each of these templates under the ad locator templates.. or just this particular one?
For example should I make any changes to ad_navbar_below template?

Thanks

[cellarius]

You remove that from every template you want to show to registered users, too. The conditional prevents all that's in between from being shwon to registered users.

I removed the above from two of the templates and it seems to be working :) thank you all..
