New to Adsense, having problem, please help!

[chowzer]

I've signed up for Google Adsense and read all the various sites and forums' posts on implementing it within phpnuke sites using both the blocks and modules approach.

I have successfully added Adsense into various modules using the modules approach, but can't seemt to do it with the blocks.

I've created a block php file exactly as outlined on the luchtzak.be site, but get the following message showing up in the block on my homepage:
"There isn't content right now for this block".

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this as to why this message appears? My site is at http://www.ehangar.com/

Thank you in advance for any solutions or suggestions offered.

Hi, I've got alot of experience with nuke, here is how I used to do it, (using a block)
first, go to here:
http://www.disipal.net/modules.php?n...x&func=HTMLPHP

paste your google code in the top box, and hit 'convert'.

This gives you something like this:

[code:1:c61c242ffd]<?php
#### Generated by Html to PHP converter By Disipal Site (www.disipal.net) ####


echo"<script type="text/javascript"><!--"
. "google_ad_client = "pub-4352148429802114";"
. "google_ad_width = 120;"
. "google_ad_height = 600;"
. "google_ad_format = "120x600_as";"
. "google_ad_channel ="";"
. "//--></script>"
. "<script type="text/javascript""
. " src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">"
. "</script>"
."";

?>[/code:1:c61c242ffd]

Change it so it ends up like this:

[code:1:c61c242ffd]
<?php

if (eregi("block-Adsense.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

content .= "<script type="text/javascript"><!--"
. "google_ad_client = "pub-************";"
. "google_ad_width = 120;"
. "google_ad_height = 600;"
. "google_ad_format = "120x600_as";"
. "google_ad_channel ="";"
. "//--></script>"
. "<script type="text/javascript""
. " src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">"
. "</script>"
."";

?>[/code:1:c61c242ffd]

REMEMBER, DO NOT JUST COPY MY ADSENSE CODE, IT MUST BE YOURS TO WORK,
Or, you can just change my adsense code to suit if you know what you are doing.

Then, save the file as block-Adsense.php and place it in your 'blocks' directory, upload & activate.... voila.

I have now hardcoded adsense into my theme, with 2 plain text files containing my desired advertising code, one for a 468 banner, and one for a 120 banner, depending on whether the right hand blocks are on ($index == 1, but this is more time consuming, and advanced.

Hi

Thanks mucho for your reply and help. I visited your excellent site and did exactly as you described, getting the code which is almost exactly as what you displayed, except for my account number!

I put it into the Block-Adsense.php file and uploaded it. However, now it just shows a collapsed empty box on the www.ehangar.com homepage.

I wonder if there's anything else I can do, did wrong, and if you have further suggestions.

Thanks again for your time and help!

Found the problem, and changed the code, this works for me:

[code:1:b4eccf74d1]<?php

if (eregi("block-Adsense.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

$content = "<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-*****************"
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_ad_channel =""
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>";

?>[/code:1:b4eccf74d1]
