How To Add Ad Code To PHPNUKE Made Easy

[tvale]

Dear John.

I now know a much easier way to add the ad code to PHPNUKE sites.

1) in includes/custom_files/

Create a file called custom_header.php

In there place this code

 <?php
if (eregi("block-AdSense.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
  Header("Location: index.php");
  die();
}
?>

<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://ads2.psychz.net/adx.js'></script>
<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
<!--
if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
 
document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
document.write ("http://ads2.psychz.net/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
document.write ("&amp;what=zone:8");
document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
if (document.referrer)
document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
//-->
</script><noscript><a href='http://ads2.psychz.net/adclick.php?n=a477094b' target='_blank'><img src='http://ads2.psychz.net/adview.php?what=zone:8&amp;n=a477094b' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>

<?php
$content .= "<center><script language=\"JavaScript\"
src=\"http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js\">";
$content .= "</script></center>";
?>  

Save and upload to includes/custom_files/

2) Footer ad

go to http://yournukesite.com/admin.php?op=Configure

go down to footer message and add

 Free Webhosting By <a href="http://www.profusehost.net" target="_blank">Profusehost.net</a> 
  

And that is it, this will place the ads at the top of every page on the PHPNUKE site as the header.php checks for a custom header and places it at the very top of the page and the footer message at the bottom of every page. To view a samlpe go to http://www.tvale.co.uk

This now works, i find this easier has you dont have to add it to every module, or every theme. just one file needs to be created. Hope this helps a few people

[John]

thank you, i'll move this to tutorial section. :-)

[tvale]

You all should need to do is upload these to files to includes/custom_files/

thats it

*please do not that this was tested on PHP-NUKE Platinum 7.6 b 4 v 2

I would be very greatful if some was to tell me if it was working on my site as i have tried to disable ad blocking but it still doesnt show but i added a extra banner of my own to see if that worked the site is www.tvale.co.uk and just leave a message in the shout box please.

I just visited your site and only saw ads in the header. The ad column on the right hand side is empty and is not displaying any ads. Php nuke is very hard to work with when it comes to embedding any extra code.

[tvale]

hi john it should now be fixed and showing ads on the top right hand side.

if this is true i would like to post a new thread saying how to do it containing the correct files but for a reason unknown to me i cant create new threads.

also just to clear up the ad rule as i think i was still under the old ad rule

Does the ads have to be displayed in the header only or the header and right/left side. and is it still Free webhosting provided by profusehost.net in the footer or the new ad code for the footer.

If this is the cass for the footer i will need a few more days to find a easy way to add the ad code in.

These solutions posted here would not work for me so I just placed the javascript code in the advertising banner section and the free hosting link in the footer. It works just fine in the left advertising block I made just for profusehost.

I hope the footer is okay as I couldn't figure out how to put the javascript in the footer but could put the clickable link just fine.

If John approves the footer part I hope my solution helps someone.
