    • Google Adsense Module

    Posted by Yodaya

    Hi folks,

    I just tried to create a new module to display google adsense advertising.
    But this module is not working....

    Probably because it contains javascript.

    Has anybody created a module for adsense in tikiwiki 1.8.5 ?

    How do I do it?


    Cheers

    That is what you can do and works well... Here is the code I used for my module:



    I placed the googleads.html file in the root directory of the wiki.

    Yoni has commited a new adsense module to the latest branch-1-9 code, you should be able to get it within the next 24 hours from the de.tikiwiki.org tarballs.

    if you really must use 1.8.x you need to copy the modules/adsense and templates/modules/adsense files from it to your 1.8 installation.

    Enjoy

    Hey Damian: I am using version 1.8.X and downloaded the adsense module from de.tikiwiki.org then copied the just the files (mod-adsense.php and mod-adsense.tpl) and I get this error on my index.php page.

    'You forgot your Google ad_client number !'

    Now how do I now configure the ads to appear? Is there another file?

    Hi, guys,

    I'm really interested in an answer I can understand.
    I opened the mod-adsense.php in via File Manager in the cpanel.
    I substituted my Google AdSense client ID numbers for the x's that were there.
    I saved.
    I still get 'You forgot your Google ad_client number !'
    I read the notes in the file, but the code itself means nothing to me.
    It makes reference to "468*60" whereas, I'd like to use it in a right-hand column and would prefer 120x600. I have the Google script that I would otherwise put on an HTML page.

    How do we know the shape/size of something a module is going to create?

    I'm stuck and hoping that Yodaya will report the procedure to success.

    Thanks,
    Karen

    Karen: I figured out how to make it work without using the module.

    Actually, the way I did it is in line with Google's TOS whereas the adsense module breals their TOS.

    Let me try to explain:

    1) I created a web page with the specific Google script and that is all. I named it something like google-160X600.html

    2) I created a new module where I inserted an iframe which he iframe src tag cvalls the html file.

    I cannot figure out how to insert the code here. So, send me an email and I will send you the code.

    😕

    You could make an ordinary HTML page that contains the Adsense code, etc., and then make a module that contains an iframe that loads the HTML page. I don't have any experience with Adsense but I did do a Weather MagnetQuestion module this way, which worked great.

    That is a great tip, I spent days trying to figure the other way using the module.

    Thanks again!

    Gary, how did you finally get your adsense to work with this i-frame procedure? I do not know much about i-frame and how to use it in tikiwiki. Would you be able to tell me the steps you did to get around this problem of not getting adsense to work.

    Cheers.

    The iframe solution is easy, but fails to use adsense properly. This is because adsense cannot target content to an iframe. This is confirmed to me by Google.

    Therefore to use adsense properly, we need a module that functions. The one offered on this site produces a fatal error in my tests (1.9.2). I cannot find the version by the same author said to be on the German site.

    If the js plugin were to be available and work, then that maybe would allow the adsense code to work.

    We really do need a solution for implementing adsense properly.

    I managed to create a module with google adsense however, everytime the user logs out, tikiwiki shows a blank page. Users have to press their back button for TikiWiki to work as normal again. Then I tried the Iframe method however, the ads coming up are not relevant to the page content.

    I am just stunned that, after all this time, none of us here, knows how to properly get adsense going for such a major project like TikiWiki. If I'd only known this was a problem...

    ❓ How do you setup the adsense module? I have searched this forum and entered the client number and ad type, as others have said into the parameters field. All i can get is the code showing in place of where the module is suppose to be.

    I'm not sure if that adsense module is working right yet. See http://zukakakina.com/GoogleAdSense2Question for an alternative.

    How to setup Google Adsense Module for Tikiwiki

    Hi all,

    i really like the Tikiwiki Project but need to admit, that some Things arent working right here.

    Maybee the Tikiwiki-Community should use other Forum Software, like http://www.simplemachines.org/Question or http://www.phpbb.com/Question. I am searching since 3 Hours how to setup Adsense for Tikiwiki !!! Finally i found this Page : http://zukakakina.com/GoogleAdSense2Question

    With good Forum-Software i had probably searched 1 Time and would have found the Solution for Google Adsense.

    BTW: Thx to Chibaguy

    Greetz to all

    Mmmm I tried that and set it up correctly and it kinda crashes the pages, would be easier if I could find the download on the page.

    The content of the files for the module, as displayed on the page, use parentheses in place of angle brackets in a few places, because angle brackets would cause the lines to be interpreted as a script and thus stripped from the wiki page. As is stated on the page, there are no parentheses in the files themselves; angle brackets should be used where there are parentheses shown. To save the trouble of copying and pasting the lines for the files, and changing parentheses to angle brackets, the files are also available as attachments to the page (http://zukakakina.com/GoogleAdSense2Question). Sorry, permission for anonymous visitors to download wikipage-attached files wasn't set before. Now it is.
