punbb adsense advertisement mod? (Page 1 of 2)

Mmm, I'll see what I can do

Well, I'm almost done
Note to self: in the future, know something about what you're coding a mod for (in this case, Adsense).
Since I've never used it before, tell me if I've gotten something wrong: I plan to add a whole bit for all the Adsense options (ie: border, ad_format, all that stuff I see when looking at the source code here ).

But when I first release it, you'll have to edit that stuff yourself

Ooh, even better: create a new table, store the name of the poster and it's tag as well as all the options, and have the ability to store different color schemes for each stylesheet (future release)
Oh, and a cache file for the info!

Alright, all done, but I need to go somewhere soon.

I just remembered about a forum script that I used to use -----> http://www.hot-things.net/forum/  it has a colour switcher on the bottom right...which also affects the google ads

Whats sort of adsense info do you need to know?

OK, I decided to push back the release until tomorrow (I currently have the config file, table, etc working, just need to create a plugin so it's possible to edit the AdSense info).

This could be anything it is their identification to google

        google_ad_client = "pub-5038618221283072";

this is a bit more complicated, the height and width are from the format i don't think your meant to change them, however, there are some text only formats
i think the easiest way to show it is

<select id="text_img_format" name="format">
<optgroup label="Text and image ads:">
<option value="728x90"> 728 x 90 Leaderboard </option>
<option value="468x60"> 468 x 60 Banner </option>
<option value="300x250"> 300 x 250 Medium rectangle </option>
<option value="160x600"> 160 x 600 Wide Skyscraper </option>
<option value="120x600"> 120 x 600 Skyscraper </option> </optgroup>
<optgroup label="Text ads only:">
<option value="336x280"> 336 x 280 Large Rectangle </option>
<option value="250x250"> 250 x 250 Square </option>
<option value="234x60"> 234 x 60 Half Banner </option>
<option value="180x150"> 180 x 150 Small Rectangle </option>
<option value="125x125"> 125 x 125 Button </option>
<option value="120x240"> 120 x 240 Vertical Banner </option>
</optgroup>
</select>

they all have _as appended to their value and are  google_ad_width x google_ad_height

        google_ad_width = 728;
        google_ad_height = 90;
        google_ad_format = "728x90_as";

again could be anything they can setup channels to moniter ads on specific pages

        google_ad_channel ="";

either "text" "image" or "text_image" specifies the type of ads shown, text only, image only, both respectively

        google_ad_type = "text";

the colours for the ad

        google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
        google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
        google_color_link = "005CB1";
        google_color_url = "005CB1";
        google_color_text = "333333";
        google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF";

there is another setting called link unit instead of ad unit but that gives no color settings and a different set of sizes, if you want i can tell you about that or it might be better as a different mod since its for putting links in blocks of text not in between text like this is a mod for i think

hope that helps

OK, all done and uploaded

Report any problems you have

Mmm, what's your line 467 and the stuff around it (my file doesn't go that high)

Yeah, check the mod readme

Yes, very fun
OK, I dunno what the deal was with your error, but when I put it in I noticed I was missing a }
I need to fix that or the mod is useless, so I'll fix it in a sec

Edit: I just deleted the old 1.0.1 and made this 1.0.1
I'll send you an edited version of yours

Will my site still validate xhtml 1 strict when using this?

Looks like it validates to me (briank's demo site doesn't because of the PM mod URLs)
