You're welcome :)

[jon]

An enhancement:

I noticed that do not show on the "tag" pages, so adding

PHP Code:

|| $pagename eq "search" 


Means they appear on tagged pages too.

Cheers,

Jon.

Awesome trick!

I had placed a table in header.tpl of my YGET template, and inserted my google code there, along side my logo image. The trouble was it showed on every page.

I took your "if" argument, and used it around my google code and it works like a charm. The only problem I had was when I first did it, using the " " around the pagenames I got a MySQL error. I changed the " " to ' ' and all was well. My mods to header.tpl began after line 36.

PHP Code:

Line 36: </div>
<!-- My Mods Begin Here  -->
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%"><tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/templates/yget/images/logo.jpg" alt="MyLogo" />
</td>
<td align="center" valign="top">
{if $pagename eq 'index' || $pagename eq 'story' || $pagename eq 'search' || $pagename eq 'upcoming'}
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel = "";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "E1771E";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "940F04";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
{/if}
</td></tr></table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<!-- My Mods End Here  -->
<div id="cab">
    <ul class="postin"> 


I also added: || $pagename eq 'upcoming' to the list.

i'm requesting those who liked this post if you can digg the topic (if you have a digg account). just go to the blog and click on the "digg it" button.

many thanks!

Yeah, I dig it man. Got a rarely used account. I use netscape more, so will netscape it!

On question though - the whole "if" thing led me to want to try new things. I would like to set a banner which will show depending on words in other parts of the URL. i.e. at the end, or anywhere, so e.g.

if bodybuilding appears anywhere in the URL, then show a bodybuilding banner.

How is that done? The code seems to only look at the first word in the URL (i.e. search, index, story).

Anyway, I also made the same mistake with the " and ' I tried to mention on the blog but my message was poorly formatted! ( I see it has been cleaned up!)

Another enhancement. I am now using the yget template, and adding "upcoming" means ads on the unpublished pages.

{if $pagename eq "index" || $pagename eq "story" || $pagename eq "search" || $pagename eq "upcoming"}

Working example:

Cheers,

Jon.
