WOW. Crisp, clean write-up made this as clear as could be. Thanks a ton.

Also - I have tested this on a site I completed today and as suspected - this appears to be working as advertised with the paul01 template on the latest beta.

I haven't tested with any new users or alternate google adsense info since I have just the one account. Feel free to help me complete that testing (shameless plug) at thebigmashup.com

You don't need to have two legit Adsense accounts to test this with. You can just put in a fake number for the second account and it'll either display Google public service ads, or a file not found error where the Adsense block should be.

Another method I've used to test is to add 'Users Adsense' and 'Sites Adsense' after the Adsense code blocks in the link_summary.tpl file like this:

{adsense assign=users_adsense}
{if $users_adsense}
	<script type="text/javascript"><!--
		google_ad_client = "{$google_adsense_id}";
		google_alternate_ad_url = "";
		google_ad_width = 468;
		google_ad_height = 60;
		google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
		google_ad_type = "text";
		google_ad_channel ="{$google_adsense_channel}";
		google_color_border = "f6f6f6";
		google_color_bg = "f6f6f6";
		google_color_link = "330066";
		google_color_text = "000000";
		google_color_url = "330066";
		//-->
	</script>
	<script type="text/javascript"
	  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
	</script>Users Adsense
{else}				
	<script type="text/javascript"><!--
		google_ad_client = "Your Adsense ID number";
		google_alternate_ad_url = "";
		google_ad_width = 468;
		google_ad_height = 60;
		google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
		google_ad_type = "text";
		google_ad_channel ="Your Channel number";
		google_color_border = "f6f6f6";
		google_color_bg = "f6f6f6";
		google_color_link = "330066";
		google_color_text = "000000";
		google_color_url = "330066";
		//-->
	</script>
	<script type="text/javascript"
	  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
	</script>Sites Adsense
{/if}

This just displays the text after the Adsense ads so you can keep refreshing the page and see that the Adsense ID's are alternating randomly depending on what percent revenue sharing you've set.

Thanks for the tip on not needing another adsense account.

In testing I have set the font color to red in my ads and left the default for the others in order to see the results. (80/20 by default on thebigmashup)

I am seeing ':' in the registration fields for the adsense information instead of the appropriate titles...but I haven't had a chance to see if that is expected behavior...
Possibly this is because I am registering a simulated new user from the same IP address - in order to prevent adsense account mixups. I will take a look at this today to see if that is the case or if I hosed something up on my end.

It sounds like you may have missed or overwritten the mods to libs\lang.conf:

Add the following code snip to the very end of the file:

//***** PlugIM.com mod: Adsense Revenue Sharing
//<SECTION>GOOGLE ADSENSE REVENUE SHARING</SECTION><ADDED></ADDED>
PLIGG_Visual_Google_Adsense_ID = "Google Adsense ID"
PLIGG_Visual_Google_Adsense_ID_Explain = "(begins with: pub-)"
PLIGG_Visual_Google_Adsense_Channel = "Adsense Channel (optional)"
PLIGG_Visual_Google_Adsense_Channel_Explain = "(numerical value)"
PLIGG_Visual_Google_Adsense_Only_Admins = "Only admins can see Google Adsense settings."
//***** End PlugIM.com mod

Indeed.
I had these in there but had accidentally added a couple of blank lines at the end of the file - after the code.

Thank you both for the code and the tips.
I imagine users will be PM'ing you for your paid assistance so I will leave you alone for now.

Hey newskicks,

I'm using the paul01 template and just used the same instructions for mollio-beat and as far as I know everything is working correctly.


Oh and Dravis,
Thanks again for the write up.

Where should I place the AdSense code (Step 6) within mollio-beat\link_summary.tpl if I want to show AdSense only when the full story is shown (not on the front page)?

[Dubai]

Let me rephrase my question: Will this mod work if I place the AdSense Code (Step 6) in mollio-beat/story_center.tpl instead of placing it in mollio-beat/link_summary.tpl?

Any help is highly appreciated.
