EASY NO WORRIES PAINLESS adsense revenue sharing mod placement mod guide

[johntheentrepreneur]

first of all thanks to dravis of plugim for the adsense mod. And thanks to ashdig and gang for implementing it.


I like to draw your attention to what I've discover. Which is a very easy way to place the adsense ads using the adsense revenue sharing module



you will need to
1.modify the modules\share_revenue\share_revenue_init.php file
2.add show_ads files into the modules\share_revenue\templates directory
3.modify the templates files IE \templates\yget\sidebar



After activating the adsense revenue sharing mod using the module admin panel.

STEP 1 modify the appearance pages
modify lines 7 and 8 to set the pages you want the ads to appear in

7 $include_in_pages = array('all');
8 $do_not_include_in_pages = array();


STEP 2 modify the ad locations setting and add new ad locations setting
goto line 14.

14 module_add_action_tpl('tpl_pligg_below_center', share_revenue_tpl_path . 'show_ads.tpl');



since adsense display only 3 ads bar per page. So Let's say you want the ads to appear in sidebar below, top center as well as bellow center.

since line 14 already covers below_center. just add sidebar and top. like bellow

14 module_add_action_tpl('tpl_pligg_below_center', share_revenue_tpl_path . 'show_ads.tpl');
15 module_add_action_tpl('tpl_pligg_top_center', share_revenue_tpl_path . 'show_ads_top_center.tpl');
16 module_add_action_tpl('tpl_sidebar_below_center', share_revenue_tpl_path . 'show_ads_sidebar_below.tpl');

by default show_ads.tpl only shows 2 ads units and the wording is grey in color. You can use show_ads.tpl if you want to use the same setting for all 3 ad locations. In this guide we will be changing the settings of each ad location.
if so your line 14,15,16 will look like this


14 module_add_action_tpl('tpl_pligg_below_center', share_revenue_tpl_path . 'show_ads.tpl');
15 module_add_action_tpl('tpl_pligg_top_center', share_revenue_tpl_path . 'show_ads.tpl');
16 module_add_action_tpl('tpl_sidebar_below_center', share_revenue_tpl_path . 'show_ads.tpl');

ignore step 3 if you are using the same ads settings for all the locations



IMPORTANT - make sure you set your publisher-id in show_ads.tpl as well as the relevant ad settings


Step 3
create the files show_ads_top_center.tpl, show_ads_sidebar_below.tpl in the modules\share_revenue\templates directory
each with the ads setting you want. Use show_ads.tpl as your template and change where it is relevant.


Step 4.
Modify the templates files to show your ads. This is the easy painless and most important of all CLEAN part.

open the templates files. in this guide it would be templates\yget\sidebar.tpl to the bottom of the page

21 {checkActionsTpl location="tpl_sidebar_below_center"}


tpl_pligg_above_center and tpl_pligg_below_center has already set in pligg.tpl.

104 {checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_above_center"}
105 {include file=$tpl_center.".tpl"}
106 {checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_below_center"}





This guide helps you edit the templates leaving behind a very clean source for future edits. you can easily edit the templates to place your ads in a way that does not
make the templates look like a spaggheti.

Hope you like it. May be you guys can include it the \modules\share_revenue\share_revenue_readme.htm .
so that admins can see it after they have install it. if you need my services in installing your pligg site. Please contact me via the forum.

Hi thank you for this uselfull tutorial.

But for this to work you should change in pligg.tpl this:
{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_above_center"}

By this

{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_top_center"}
