My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Step by step how do i get adsense on my blog/website. I have already signed up for it and have the code. I just don't know where to place the appropriate code. I don't understand html and can't figure out where the adsense code goes. please help.

Well, it does depend on what version of b2 you have....
There is a great plugin that allows you to plce them in your posts....
http://plugins.b2evolution.net/index.php/2007/07/08/adsense_for_b2evolution
If you want it in a certain position on your page, just say what version of b2 your using and we can take it from there.

in vegas 2.1 it's a bundled plugin.. you may use that plugin to insert into posts, or use the FreeHTML function in sidebar to show ur ads in sidebar, or you can use html.header.php in ur themes folder

Its version 1.10.2, thanks for the help

5 john Nov 21, 2007 01:21

Then use the Adsense plugin, for starters :)

6 a9johnson Nov 21, 2007 02:23

Thanks but i don't think you understand. Could you spell it out for me. I don't really know anything about this program. where is that. how do i get there. when will i know im in it? thanks
p.s. I don't want them in my posts i want them on the sides of my page.
and on the bottom.

7 john Nov 21, 2007 02:50

So.... what size adsense units do you have? and where on your sidebar do you want it located?

8 a9johnson Nov 21, 2007 03:02

Ok ill try to be specific as i know you are probably fustrated with my questions. sorry im new to this. and appreciate the help. okay.

I have a blog b2evolution. version 1.10.2 and i want to put at leat 3 ad senses on my site. I have the skin nifty_corners, i just want them on my site where they are viewable, you know. doesn't have to be on the side. And i believe the 728x90 , i have no idea how big that is BTW. so any info would help thanks.

9 john Nov 21, 2007 04:24

OK,
Go to your downloaded folder of B2 and
open ->blogs, then ->skins, then ->nifty_corners, and then _main.php
Back up that copy of _main.php and replace it with the version below that has two adsense banners, one before the first post and one after the last post.
Your skin is too narrow for the 728 banner ad so I suggest the 468 x 60.

NOTE: you must replace my ADSENSE code in the file below with your specific ADSENSE code ( just cut and paste), they are easy to find.

For a third Ad I would suggest a smaller one for the sidebar, but lets get first things first :)

Yell if you have a problem

i will still advice you to go to backoffice>>blog settings>>widgets

there you will see "sidebar" seciton title and "add widget" right at the end of the row.. click on it then you will see "Free HTML" add it to your sidebar.. after that click on edit and just paste your code

11 john Nov 21, 2007 05:51

Does 1.10.2 have widgets tilicom?

Well, there are no widgets in the download and there are no widgets in the Demo...... am I missing something?

hi john,
if you are...then...i am too.

Hello,

I've tried the adsense plugin but got back an illegal tag: script. I've posted on that but received no replies.

I'm using the originalb2 skin. Where do I post the adsense code into the HTML?

Thanks.

Justine

16 edb Mar 08, 2008 00:02

Please post the code you got for your adsense so I can play with it.

Seems a lot of folks have trouble with adsense in 1.10.* so I figure if I had a clue about adsense I could probably figure something out about this issue. Dunno though. Heck maybe it's already been solved too!

BTW if there is something blatantly wrong I doubt it'll ever get fixed officially. The 1.* generation is effectively dead - even though 1.10.3 is the most stablest release to date. All development work goes into 2.* is the thing.

Anyway if someone wants to provide me with their adsense code I'll play with it on a 1.10.3 installation that I have laying about.

17 justine Mar 08, 2008 02:13

Hello again Ed,

How are you?

Here's the code as requested.

It's maybe just be easier to just upgrade b2. I installed through Fantastico so I don't how easy that'd be.

Justine

18 afwas Mar 08, 2008 02:20

Hi Justine,

In the textfield for the Adsense plugin (Back Office -> Global settings -> Plugins -> Adense plugin) put this:

<div style="float:right; clear:both; margin:5px;">

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-9144311636559535";
//Ad Ten
google_ad_slot = "4432878569";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script> 

</div>

Good luck

19 edb Mar 08, 2008 02:40

It doesn't work. Or, in a 1.10.3 installation with every skin available and the custom skin selected, putting that code in the adsense plugin box gave me nothing. I even viewed the source to see if it's there and not showing me anything because I block ads: no go. I even tried IE because IE sucks: no go. Therefore my slightly-more-than-uninformed opinion is that the adsense plugin that ships with v1.10.3 is junk.

Justine I think you said you wanted it in the sidebar anyway right? In the originalb2 skin? Open skins/originalb2/_main.php and look for this:

$Plugins->call_by_code( 'evo_Cats', array( // Add parameters below:
	'title'=>'<h4>'.T_('categories').':</h4>',
	) );
// --------------------------- END OF CATEGORIES ---------------------------- ?>


<?php // --------------------- SEARCH BOX INCLUDED HERE --------------------- ?>
<h4><?php echo T_('search') ?>:</h4>

Then pop your adsense code in between the two bits if you think after the cats and before the search box is a good place for ads.

$Plugins->call_by_code( 'evo_Cats', array( // Add parameters below:
	'title'=>'<h4>'.T_('categories').':</h4>',
	) );
// --------------------------- END OF CATEGORIES ---------------------------- ?>


<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-9144311636559535";
//Ad Ten 
google_ad_slot = "4432878569";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;

20 justine Mar 08, 2008 04:44

Thanks for the advice, Afwas and Ed. I'll try both ways and see what happens. There's always a way, you just gotta find it or ask for it. :)

21 edb Mar 08, 2008 05:09

On upgrading from a Fantastico installation: not that hard really, but a little bit tricky. When the time comes for that do check the manual ("Docs" link above) as I think it's been covered there quite nicely.
